Simone first sparked dating rumours with Houston Texans player Jonathan Owens after she wished him a happy 25th birthday on her Instagram Stories in July 2020. By the following month, Simone and Jonathan were IG official, and they've been looking loved-up together ever since. Although it's still unclear how she and Jonathan met, the two likely crossed paths after the Texans began their training camp that July (as Simone had been in Houston training at the World Champions Centre).
During a January 2021 appearance on the Today show, Simone gushed about her new man to host Hoda Kotb. "He's a real man. I just, I love him. We have a great time together," she said, later adding, "Our personalities match right up. We have the same sense of humour. And he's just great. He's an athlete, too, so we really understand each other and I think that's why our relationship has been seamless." The best part: their dogs liked each other just as well as they do. "He also has a bulldog, so I feel like besides him being a cherry on top, that was really amazing, and our dogs get along well," she continued. Keep being cute, you two!
