Simone Biles faced criticism for her hairstyle when she married NFL quarterback Jonathan Owens in a $120 gown.

In a recent private courtroom ceremony, NFL quarterback Jonathan Owens and pioneering gymnast Simone Biles were married. The couple, who met on a dating service after Biles reached out to them, shared their joyful wedding photos online, highlighting her modest yet elegant $120 dress and $35 shoes.

Despite the couple’s apparent happiness, several people criticized Biles’ hair on social media, calling it “unkempt.” Biles responded that she wasn’t hurt by the comments and reminded her critics of how hard it is to maintain hair in Houston’s humid climate.

Biles continues to have great success in her sports career after getting married. She made an impression at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024. Despite her many gold medals, Biles urged fans to let athletes celebrate their victories instead of making snap judgments about what will happen next.

Her journey to success has been marked by resilience; she survived a difficult childhood to become one of the most accomplished gymnasts in history. Outside of the mat, Biles has spoken out against the abuse scandal that rocked USA Gymnastics and promoted mental wellness. Her story of perseverance is incredibly motivating.

Fans have praised the couple’s union and Biles’ unwavering fortitude in the face of hardship, and they are currently enjoying their love and support. Later on, they plan to have a bigger destination wedding.
