Simone Biles is marking one year of marriage to her husband Jonathan Owens by sharing a hot tip with her fans.

“This is your sign to marry your best friend,” the Olympian, 28, wrote in an April 21 Instagram post celebrating her and the NFL star’s first wedding anniversary.

She then included a special message for Owens, also 28: “Happy 1st anniversary 🤵🏽‍♂️🤍🤞🏾👰🏾‍♀️🕊️. I’m excited for many more to come. I wish I could marry you a million times more! I love you so much!”

The post featured a series of photos of the couple, including a shot of them walking hand-in-hand on a rooftop while holding glasses of champagne following their April 2023 courthouse nuptials. In the image, Biles wore a white halter-style dress with layers of tulle ruffles, while Owens looked dapper in a slim-fitting tan suit and white loafers.

Owens — who in March signed a two-year free-agent contract with the Chicago Bears — posted an anniversary message of his own on his Instagram Stories. It featured a photo of himself and Biles embracing inside an elevator with the message, “One year down.”

“Man does time fly, I love you so much baby ❤️❤️,” he added.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are gearing up to celebrate their first anniversary once again in May, following their two weddings last year. After their intimate courthouse ceremony in Houston, Texas, the couple jetted off to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, for a larger destination wedding attended by 140 guests. Biles made a statement with her bridal fashion, donning four different dresses, including a custom Galia Lahav gown for the ceremony. As they enter their second year of marriage, Biles and Owens are looking forward to a new chapter in their new home base of Chicago, with Owens preparing for the upcoming 2024 NFL season.

Jonathan Owens, the former Green Bay Packers safety, hadn’t previously had the chance to delve into Chicago during his brief visits for games against the Bears. In contrast, Simone Biles developed a fondness for the Midwestern city through her frequent visits for gymnastics meets over the years.

“I’m excited about Chicago because every year we used to come compete here, so it’s taking me back to when I was younger,” she told the outlet. “We were always in the city. Me and my mom are big shoppers, so we would always go shop, find all the new stores and go to American Girl. So seeing and reminiscing from when I was younger was really fun.”

Jonathan Owens expressed his commitment to supporting his wife, Simone Biles, in her journey to the 2024 Paris Olympics. He shared with Chicagobears.com his intention to attend every significant competition she participates in leading up to the highly anticipated Summer Games.

“I’m gonna be in there cheering like it’s a football game,” he said.

Before falling in love, Biles and Owens had a close encounter during a Texans game in 2019, but the pair later officially met via the dating app Raya in March 2020.

The couple then announced their engagement via a series of Instagram photos shared last February after two years of dating.

“THE EASIEST YES,” Biles captioned a slideshow of photos from the moment. “I can’t wait to spend forever & ever with you, you’re everything I dreamed of and more! let’s get married FIANCÉ 💍🥺🥲🤎 @jowens_3.”

It’s wonderful to see Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens supporting each other through their athletic careers. Having someone who understands the unique challenges of being a professional athlete can make a world of difference.

“Oh, he’s always so supportive,” she said of Owens. “Even if I wake up in the morning and I’m like, ‘I’m tired, do I have to go,’ jokingly, he’s like ‘Don’t say that! You can do it, this is your dream!’ “
