Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens [2] are engaged! The couple announced their exciting news on Tuesday, sharing photos of the engagement, including a close-up of Biles's massive diamond ring [3]. "THE EASIEST YES," the 24-year-old Olympian wrote on Instagram [4]. "I can't wait to spend forever & ever with you, you're everything I dreamed of and more! let's get married FIANCÉ."
Owens also shared their photos on his Instagram, writing in a caption [5], "Woke up this morning with a fiancée 💍❤️." He also revealed Biles "really had no clue what was coming," thanking his friends for helping him set up the surprise.
The gymnast and 26-year-old Houston Texans player, who celebrated their one-year anniversary [6] in August 2021, first confirmed dating rumours [7] in August 2020 on Instagram. "It's just us," Biles captioned a sweet selfie of the two at the time. She admitted she slid into Owens's DMs [8] after crossing paths in Houston at their respective training camps.
Since then, they've been each other's biggest fans. "It's so cool that I get to watch you do what you love, and be the best at that !!" Owens wrote on Instagram after watching Biles take home her seventh national championship win [9] last June.
