Biles and Owens first met in March 2020 through the dating app Raya, Us Weekly reports. Biles felt an instant connection with Owens due to his genuine interest in getting to know her.
Owens admitted to having no idea who Biles was when they first met.
“I didn’t know who she was,” the NFL player told Texas Monthly in June 2021. “I just hadn’t heard of her, and when I told her that, that’s one of the things she liked.”
With the pandemic postponing the 2020 Olympics, Biles and Owens spent more time together building their bond. By August 2021, Biles shared a post celebrating their first anniversary.
In December, Biles shared a post supporting Owens ahead of his first start in the NFL.
“#36 showed all the way out today starting!” Biles captioned a photo of the couple holding hands. “Don’t mess with him 😤🖤🤞🏾🏈 I’m so proud of you babe!!! I love watching you live your dream!”
Owens left a sweet response in her comments, telling Biles, “Thank you so much baby ❤️🤞🏽 I know you always gone support!! My ride or die.”
