Biles: The big name went unnoticed
It was March 2020 when the couple met online and decided to establish something meaningful together. Five months later, they took to Instagram and announced their relationship by posting a lovely picture of themselves. Moreover, the two officially committed to each other and got engaged this February.
Nevertheless, what’s surprising is that Owens was unaware of Biles’ significance in the world of sports. Initially, the Texans’ safety refused to believe that she was famous, despite the millions of followers on her Instagram profile. This misconception continued until the day he saw one of her Uber Eats advertisements.
Another instance was when they went out for ice cream and fans yelped after noticing Biles. That was when Owens could estimate her fame and prominence.

“Oh my God!” fans shouted. “It’s Simone Biles!”
“They know who you are?” a surprised Owens said.
“I’ve been telling you!” said the Olympic champion. “A lot of people know who I am!”
Competing at the elite level and bagging seven Olympics medals, is no child’s play. It needs one to be hardworking and dedicated to their goal. Notably, the iconic gymnast fulfilled all the criteria and thus reached her peak. At age 6, she started working toward becoming the best gymnast on the planet, and today she is.

The gymnast has added four gold, one silver, and two bronze Olympic medals to her collection. Did Owens’ engagement ring, consisting of an oval-shaped diamond, surpass her other possessions?
“It’s definitely my most prized possession now and I’m always wearing it,” said Biles in an interview about the ring. “I had to wash my hair the other day, and I took it off just in case I didn’t know if it was supposed to get caught or anything.”
