Simone Biles Criticized for Hair After Marrying NFL Star Jonathan Owens in a $120 Dress

Simone Biles, the trailblazing gymnast, recently tied the knot with NFL player Jonathan Owens in an intimate courthouse ceremony. The couple, who met on a dating app where Biles made the first move, shared their joyous wedding photos online, revealing Biles’ simple yet elegant $120 dress and $35 shoes.

The newlyweds, who plan to hold a larger destination wedding later, are currently basking in their love and the support of fans who have celebrated their union and Biles’ unwavering strength in the face of adversity.

Despite the couple’s happiness, Biles faced criticism online for her hair, with some users labeling it as “unkempt.” In response, Biles reminded her critics of the challenges of maintaining hair in Houston’s humid climate, stating she was unbothered by the comments.

Beyond her wedding, Biles continues to shine in her athletic career, having made a strong comeback at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Despite her incredible achievements, including multiple gold medals, Biles urged fans to let athletes savor their victories instead of immediately asking what’s next.

Her journey to success has been marked by resilience, from overcoming a difficult childhood to becoming one of the most decorated gymnasts in history. Biles’ story of perseverance extends beyond the mat, as she has also been an advocate for mental health and has spoken out against the abuse scandal that rocked USA Gymnastics.
