Jonathan Owens called himself 'the catch' in his relationship with Simone Biles. Here's a timeline of their 3-year relationship.

• Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have been dating since March 2020, right before the pandemic.
• The athletes first connected on social media, with Biles sliding into Owens' DMs.

Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and NFL player Jonathan Owens are in the headlines after comments Owens made about the start of their relationship on an episode of "The Pivot" podcast.

The Green Bay Packers player said he didn't know who Biles was when they matched on the dating app Raya in 2020, and agreed with the host that he was "the catch" in their relationship.

Although Owens is catching some flak, Biles is supporting her husband. She posted photos from their April 2023 wedding on Instagram and commented on Owens' post that their relationship is "for life."

Here's a closer look at their relationship over the past three years, from their first post on Instagram to now.

March 2020: They connect via social media and start hanging out

According to a Texas Monthly profile in June 2021 of Owens, the two met right before COVID-19 shut down their sports.

"We ended up hanging out right before the pandemic," Owens said. "It was one of the few times in her life where everything was just shut off and she couldn't do anything. So we used it to get to know each other — really get to know each other. It created our bond and made it stronger. Now I'm so thankful."

Biles told The Wall Street Journal in July 2021 that the two met on Instagram, though later Owens claimed the two met on Raya, a dating app.

"He would say I slid into his DMs," she said. "I saw him and I was like, 'Oh, he's pretty cute,' so I said hi … and then I saw that he was in the Houston area, so we started chatting a little bit, and then we went to hang out a week or two later."

Owens added in the Texas Monthly profile that he'd noted Biles' 4 million — at the time — Instagram followers.

A few weeks later, according to Biles, her younger sister, Adria, saw they were talking on FaceTime, and stole her sister's phone to ask if Owens was coming to a family trip to their lake house. He accepted the invite and even brought his bulldog, Zeus.
