Blies and Owens first met on the dating app Raya in 2020, and the gymnast made the first move.
“He would say I slid into his DMs,” Biles told WSJ. Magazine in July 2021. “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.”
Their relationship grew slowly, until Biles’ sister decided to move things along by inviting Owens to join them on their trip to a lake house. After that, the two started spending more time together, and the pandemic gave them the opportunity to really get to know each other.
“It was one of the few times in her life where everything was just shut off and she couldn’t do anything,” Owens told Texas Monthly in June 2021. “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.”
