Simone Biles is one step closer to walking down the aisle and tying the knot with her fiancé Jonathan Owens, after a year of being engaged.
The couple, who live in Houston, got engaged back in February of 2022, and though the star athlete has been relatively mum on the topic of their nuptials, she just teased they are happening soon.
The Olympic gymnast revealed over the weekend that her and Jonathan had officially gotten their marriage license, and that it is "almost time" to get hitched.
