Simone Biles has established herself as the GOAT of modern-day gymnastics. Yet, some wishes remain unfulfilled for the 7-time gold medalist. Despite having tied the knot with Jonathan Owens back in May 2023, Biles hasn’t had many chances to truly experience the joy of being married. So much so that she even had to hold off one of the most important events in her life. Yes, it was her honeymoon with her husband.
Fans of the couple might be habituated to seeing the lovey-dovey moments between the two athletes. However, behind the scenes, the two have had quite a cumbersome schedule, which prevented the power couple from having some me time. Yes, while it might be surprising to the fans despite their many publicized trips, the two had to postpone the biggest one yet.
]But back in 2023, it was Biles herself who confessed about her honeymoon being delayed. In a Q&A posted on her Instagram story, Biles was asked about her honeymoon plans. “We haven’t taken a honeymoon yet,” was Biles’ surprising reply. Surely, back then, there was no room for Biles to cramp on a honeymoon trip. After all, she had her US Classics from August, then the World Championships.
And when the year rolled to 2024, all the focus was solely concentrated on the Paris Olympics. Now that everything has been done and dusted, Simone Biles is not letting the opportunity go. At the moment, Jonathan Owens also has some significant time on his hands as the NFL season is yet to start. Thus, right after completing her Gold Over America Tour, Biles embarked on a traveling spree with Owens.
She initially went to New York City, where she spent time shopping and dining. Biles also posted a glimpse of her time taking romantic strolls on the NYC streets holding Owens’ hand. Next up, the couple went for a serene getaway to the postcard country of Switzerland. And if that was not enough, Owens recently posted pictures of him and his wife enjoying themselves on the beaches of Miami.
Now, all these outings were of short durations. And when the question is about a honeymoon, it surely has to be a grand one. After all, at one point during her marriage, Owens and Biles had stayed 1096 miles apart. While playing for the Green Bay Packers, Biles used to travel 19 hours from Texas to catch a glimpse of Owens residing in Wisconsin.
But that was then. Now, after two years, the couple is finally on the way to their dream honeymoon location. What just what place that might be? Well, there are a few hints. So let’s go back to the day their trip started. Let’s go back to Valentine’s Day.
Simone Biles’ dream honeymoon location unearthed?
After having a gala Valentine’s Day celebration, the couple took a flight on February 15, 2025, to fly to their dream destination. However, both the stars have kept a tight lip about the destination of their honeymoon. And while that mystery remains unsolved, a little dig-up might give a hint of where the couple might have possibly landed.
Apparently, the location Biles and Owens are traveling to is 15 hours from the US. This can be spotted right away from the romantic caption on the Instagram story of Jonathan Owens. After boarding the flight, Owens posted a picture with his prized wife inside the airplane. Captioning the story, the Chicago Bears’ star wrote, “Ready to annoy you for 15 hours.”
Well, now that we know that it would be a long flight, let’s look at the possibilities of where it might be. Three years ago, Biles had a Q&A series with her fans where she spilled the beans on her dream honeymoon destination. Biles opined back then, “Still in the process of solidifying wedding plans/details. So we haven’t gotten to honeymoon… I’ve always wanted to go to Bora Bora though!”
And this was not the only time that Biles had expressed her fondness for the Bora Bora. While in a past discussion with the Olympics.com, Biles doubled down on her wish to travel to the French Polynesian island. Thus, with the suspense still on, it will be interesting to see where exactly the duo has embarked on to celebrate their much-awaited and well-deserved honeymoon.
