‘She Keep a Fine Man’: Simone Biles Flicks It Up with Her Boo

Simone Biles is getting all the praise from fans after posting another set of pictures up with her boo. On Nov. 29, she uploaded two photos of her and her boyfriend Jonathan Owens showing a little public display of affection to each other on Instagram.

The first picture shows Biles sitting on Owens’ lap as they share a kiss, and in the second the couple smile directly at the camera.

The caption of the photos says, “good food better company.”

Her Houston Texans practice squad player boyfriend responded, saying, “Always a good time with you.”

Fans raved over the cute couple in the comments.

One said, “Ugh I’m gushing you guys are so beautiful together … so happy for you Simone.”

Another person wrote, “Look at this beautiful black love.”

People also cheered Biles on for always being able to pull really attractive men.

A fan wrote, “She always keep a fine man by her side.”

Someone else jokingly said, “She always gets the fine ones too. What’s the secret Simone?”

The Olympics champion announced on Instagram in August that she and Owens were a couple when she posted two photos of him standing behind her while she smiled.

The photos were captioned “It’s just us.”

Since the initial post, the 23-year-old has continued to upload pictures here and there of her and her new man. It’s not clear when and where the athletic couple met, but many people were taken aback by the announcement because they did not realize Biles had ended her relationship with gymnast Stacey Ervin Jr. 

For the most part, Biles kept the breakup quiet, but in July during an interview with Vogue she spoke more about ending the almost three-year relationship. She revealed that “It’s hard being young and having that long of a relationship and then ending it. But it was for the best.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
