Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have said “I do” — again!
The Olympic gymnast, 26, married the 27-year-old NFL safety on Saturday in a lavish wedding in Cabo San Lucas, weeks after the couple tied the knot in a courthouse ceremony in Houston, the NY Post reports.
“The most perfect day,” Biles wrote on her Instagram story.

Biles, a seven-time Olympic medallist, wore a stunning Galia Lahav gown for the ceremony.
Leading up to Saturday’s nuptials, Biles took to social media to post videos and photos of the pre-wedding festivities.
“& we’re off @jowens,” Biles posted in an Instagram Story as she and her groom ventured to Cabo.
Biles and Owens’ love story began in March 2020, when the twosome connected on social media.
“We clicked really really well in the beginning because we’re athletes and we have the same busy schedules. But other than that, since it was kind of a COVID relationship,” Biles said on the “Today” show in a February 2022 interview.
“We’re with each other 24/7, so I feel like now when we’re not with each other it’s almost weird. We’re always texting or calling each other. It’s kind of gross in a way.”
Biles announced her engagement to Owens in early 2022.
“THE EASIEST YES,” Biles exclaimed at the time. “I can’t wait to spend forever & ever with you, you’re everything I dreamed of and more! let’s get married FIANCÉ.”
Biles enjoyed a fun-filled bachelorette party in February before swapping vows with Owens two months later.
“I do,” Biles shared on Instagram in late April. “Officially Owens.”
A short time later, the famed gymnast said in an Instagram Story that a second wedding would be taking place “in a couple of weeks.”
“We had to get married ‘legally’ here in the U.S. — since our wedding will be a destination wedding,” Biles said, according to Today.com.
Biles also teased her second big day would feature four different looks.
She said “yes” to two dresses from designer Galia Lahav last year.
