Simone Biles, the celebrated gymnast, recently married NFL player Jonathan Owens in a simple courthouse ceremony, wearing a $120 dress and $35 shoes. Despite their joy, Biles faced online criticism for her “unkempt” hair. Responding, Biles pointed out the challenge of maintaining hair in Houston’s humid climate, saying she was unbothered by the remarks.
Biles continues to excel in her athletic career, making a strong comeback at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She reminded fans to allow athletes to enjoy their victories, emphasizing her resilience from a difficult childhood to becoming a decorated gymnast and mental health advocate.
The couple, who met on a dating app, plans to have a larger wedding later. They are currently enjoying their love and the support of fans celebrating their union and Biles’ strength in overcoming adversity.
