Simone Biles and her husband, Jonathan Owens, are finally embarking on their long-awaited honeymoon, nearly two years after their wedding. The couple, who tied the knot on April 22, 2023, had initially been unable to take their honeymoon due to their conflicting schedules—Biles was preparing for a national gymnastics camp, while Owens was finishing his NFL season. However, after years of anticipation, the two have finally set off on their dream getaway.
A Dream Destination in Mind
Biles has always been vocal about her ideal honeymoon destination. In a 2023 interview with Olympics.com, she expressed her love for tropical locations and specifically mentioned a strong desire to visit a French Polynesian island. While at the time, it was simply a dream, it now seems to be turning into reality.
On February 15, exactly three years after their engagement was announced, the couple shared their departure with fans. Biles posted two Instagram stories—one featuring the couple in their apartment with luggage, captioned “off to our honeymoon… 2 years later,” and another showing a snapshot from their flight, soaring above the clouds. Owens, too, joined in, resharing his wife’s post with the phrase, “On the road agaaaain.”
While the couple did not explicitly reveal their destination, all signs point to Bora Bora. In previous interactions with fans, Biles had repeatedly expressed her desire to visit this paradise. Shortly after her engagement in 2022, she had mentioned in a Q&A session on Instagram that Bora Bora was her dream honeymoon spot. Given this consistent preference, it is highly likely that this is where the couple is headed.
A Special Connection to Europe
While Bora Bora remains her ultimate honeymoon destination, Biles also revealed in past interviews that she would love to spend “two to three weeks in Europe.” That dream, too, was recently fulfilled when she and Owens took a trip to Switzerland in January 2025. The vacation was a special experience for the couple, allowing them to enjoy their time together without the constraints of their busy schedules. Biles shared her joy through an Instagram post with the caption, “Good Morning Switzerland,” alongside a scenic view of the country.
The trip to Switzerland was a meaningful getaway for the couple, offering them the chance to explore and cherish their time together. Now, a month later, they are heading off on their long-awaited honeymoon, marking another milestone in their relationship.
Living Her Best Life
With her dream destinations becoming a reality one by one, it seems Biles is truly living her best life. From traveling to Switzerland to finally setting off on her honeymoon, the seven-time Olympic champion is making the most of her personal time. After years of focusing on her gymnastics career, she appears to be embracing the balance between her professional and personal life.
