Simone Biles was criticized for her hair after she married NFL star Jonathan Owens in a $120 dress.
Pioneering gymnast Simone Biles recently tied the knot with NFL player Jonathan Owens in an intimate court ceremony. The couple, who met on a dating app where Biles made the first move, shared their joyful wedding photos online, revealing Biles’ simple yet elegant $120 dress and $35 shoes.
Despite the couple’s happiness, Biles faced criticism online for her hair, with some users calling it “unkempt.” In response, Biles reminded her critics of the challenges of maintaining her hair in Houston’s humid climate and said she didn’t mind the comments.
Post-marriage, Biles continues to shine in her athletic career as she made a big comeback at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Despite her incredible accomplishments, including multiple gold medals, Biles urged fans to let the athletes enjoy their victories instead of immediately asking what’s next.
Her path to success has been marked by resilience, from overcoming a difficult childhood to becoming one of the most decorated gymnasts in history. Biles’ story of perseverance goes beyond the mat, as she’s also been an advocate for mental health and spoken out against the abuse scandal that rocked USA Gymnastics.
The newlyweds, who plan to have a larger destination wedding later, are currently basking in their love and support from fans who have celebrated their union and Biles’ unwavering strength in the face of adversity.
