Olympic gymnast, Simone Biles, and NFL Texans player, Jonathan Owens, are the latest successful black love story. Owens proposed to Biles a day shy of valentine's day.
The two athletes officially announced they were dating in 2020 and have been going strong since. The pair are beautiful together, with Simone at her petite 4’8 frame and Owens almost a foot taller at 5’11.
Biles went to Twitter and Instagram to share the news with her followers. The newly engaged athlete shared a heartfelt tweet about how she feels about Owens and their relationship. “I can’t wait to spend forever & ever with you, you’re everything I dreamed of and more! let’s get married!” Biles wrote.
Simone shared six photos and one video, giving fans the entire interaction as it happened, with Jonathan on one knee proposing to Biles underneath a white pavilion.
Owens got some help on this proposal and made a few shoutouts on the post. He got an assist from a friend who helped him plan everything and keep it a surprise from Biles, who he thanked in a post.
Appreciate my dawg @don_julio314 for helping me set everything up, she really had no clue what was coming 😂.
In the video, you can see the ring in detail. It is classic–styled, with a nice-sized oval-shaped diamond by jeweler Zofrost.
Simone Biles has been making major strides outside of her athletics. The seven-time Olympic medallist was named one of PEOPLE magazine’s 2021 ‘People of the Year.’ The gymnastics superstar was praised by the magazine for becoming “a champion for mental health as she grappled with the intense pressure of competing on the Olympic stage this past summer in Tokyo.”
