Simone Biles hilariously calls out Jonathan Owens for his unforgettable slip-up on their wedding day

Simone Biles' career in gymnastics is a testament to precision, discipline, and unwavering focus. She has become one of the most technically flawless athletes in her sport, with the smallest misstep often being the difference between gold and silver. Her journey is marked by incredible success, both on and off the mat, but even the greatest athletes face their own set of challenges and quirks in life. One such challenge came in the form of a wedding wardrobe mishap, thanks to her husband, Jonathan Owens, a safety for the Chicago Bears.

Simone Biles' wedding day was meant to be perfect, but, as it turns out, even the best-laid plans can go awry. During their May 2023 destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Biles had a vision for the wedding party’s attire. She carefully selected a color scheme for her groomsmen, which, unfortunately, her husband Jonathan Owens did not fully execute.
"They weren't wearing the correct colors I told them to, but it worked out," Biles confessed at the 2025 TIME100 Gala. “Whenever we got on the side, I was like, ‘What are they wearing?’” Despite the wardrobe hiccup, Biles reassured fans that it wasn't a big deal, and the couple still had an unforgettable day.

The gymnast made sure to clarify that her husband should not be blamed for the mistake. "Don't flame my husband, please," Biles laughed, adding, "It’s not that he didn’t listen to me on my wedding day for the outfit. I know y'all love to flame him, but it was a good choice." It seems that the minor wardrobe glitch hasn't impacted their relationship, as the couple remains happily married, nearly two years after the wedding. Biles' graceful handling of the situation is a testament to her strength and composure, qualities that have helped her overcome challenges both in gymnastics and in life.
Jonathan Owens, who had a successful 2024 season with the Chicago Bears, remains a steadfast supporter of his wife. He has played for various teams throughout his NFL career, including the Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans, and Green Bay Packers, before finally finding a home with the Bears. This season, Owens made notable contributions, breaking up two passes and recovering two fumbles, including a key fumble recovery on a blocked punt in the first game of the season.
Biles, in turn, continues to shine on the global stage. In 2024, she added to her remarkable legacy by winning more gold medals with Team USA at the Paris Olympics. If this marks her final Olympic appearance, she will still be considered one of the most decorated athletes in Olympic history, standing alongside legends like Michael Phelps.
Away from gymnastics and football, Biles and Owens are often seen supporting each other at events. Owens made sure to attend Biles' Olympic competitions in Paris, even taking a break from his preseason training to cheer her on. Biles shared that the Bears allowed him to miss the beginning of camp to be there for her, underscoring the couple’s strong bond.
The next big event on their calendar? The Met Gala. Biles shared that she and Owens had discussed their outfits ahead of time to ensure they coordinated. "We have seen each other's looks just so that they're still a little bit cohesive with one another. That was really important," Biles said. With the Met Gala just around the corner on May 5, 2025, it’s clear that Biles and Owens’ love story is one of mutual support, humor, and a willingness to embrace the unexpected.
Through their shared experiences, from a wedding wardrobe hiccup to celebrating Olympic victories, Biles and Owens continue to prove that even the most technically perfect lives have their imperfections – and that's what makes them so real and relatable.
