In a surprising and emotional development, Olympic gymnastics icon Simone Biles has officially announced her divorce from NFL safety Jonathan Owens. The news broke just an hour ago via a heartfelt social media post from Biles, where she confirmed the end of their nearly two-year marriage. The couple, who wed in April 2023, had long been admired for their seemingly strong bond and ability to balance demanding professional lives with a loving relationship.
Biles, 27, shared a statement expressing her gratitude for the memories they created together while acknowledging that they have decided to part ways amicably. “Sometimes love grows in different directions,” she wrote. “Jonathan and I have decided to go our separate ways with love and respect. I will always appreciate the laughter, support, and companionship we shared.”
Speculation about their relationship status had recently surfaced after fans noticed fewer shared posts and joint appearances. Despite that, the announcement still came as a shock to many supporters who followed their journey from dating through marriage. Owens, 29, has yet to release a statement but is expected to address the news in the coming days.
The couple had often shared glimpses of their life together on social media, showing everything from romantic vacations to emotional moments of support during competitions and games. While their relationship had faced some public scrutiny—especially after a viral interview involving Owens—both had maintained that their love was real and resilient.
Fans and fellow athletes have since flooded Biles’ post with messages of support and encouragement as she enters this new chapter.
