Olympic champion Simone Biles has discussed how she met Green Pay Packers star Jonathan Owens.
Owens and Biles are husband and wife, but many people found that out when he scored a pick-six against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day last year.
Since then, the safety has come under lots of heat from fans as he revealed in a recent interview that he initially had no idea who she was. Biles has confirmed as much, asking folks to lay off her husband as he really didn’t know who she was prior to their meeting.
Speaking to Vanity Fair this week, the star gymnast revealed they hooked up via the Raya dating application after some hesitancy given that she wasn’t so sure about getting on the app. She told the publication she quickly matched with Owens and they met in person around two weeks later.
“I had just broken up [with someone] and my friend was like, ‘Get on Raya, get on Raya,’” she explained. “My guard went straight up when she said dating site… The second week I met him in person and the rest is history. We were hooked.”
The pair got engaged in 2022 and had their wedding last April.

Owens swore he wasn’t aware she was an Olympic champion when they began speaking as he didn’t get to watch much athletics given that he was playing college football when she was hot.
He also claimed that she drove several hours to meet him for that first date because he was the catch.
