Simone Biles, the iconic gymnast, recently exchanged vows with NFL player Jonathan Owens in a cozy courthouse ceremony. The couple, who first connected on a dating app where Biles took the initiative, shared their wedding joy through photos showcasing Biles in a simple yet stunning $120 dress paired with $35 shoes.

Despite the celebration, Biles encountered online criticism over her hair, with some detractors calling it “unkempt.” Addressing the remarks, Biles pointed out the difficulties of managing hair in Houston’s humid climate, expressing that she remains unfazed by the negative comments.

Biles’ resilience is well-known, both in her personal life and her remarkable athletic career. Having made a triumphant return at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she added to her collection of gold medals, Biles emphasized the importance of allowing athletes to relish their achievements rather than immediately focusing on the next challenge.

Her journey from a challenging childhood to becoming one of the most decorated gymnasts in history is a testament to her strength and determination. Biles has not only excelled on the mat but has also been a vocal advocate for mental health and a strong voice against the abuse scandal in USA Gymnastics.

As the newlyweds plan for a larger destination wedding in the future, they are currently enjoying their new chapter together, supported by fans who celebrate Biles’ enduring courage and unwavering spirit.
