Simone Biles, 26, is only a few days into her marriage with NFL player Jonathan Owens, 27, after tying the knot on Saturday April 22, but she is already expected to make a public nod to her relationship.

The Olympic gymnast took to social media to share the first photos of her wedding, which showed her looking radiant in a four-tiered chiffon floor-length dress with a plunging halter neck neckline, spaghetti straps and an open back. She added open-toed white heels, carried a spring bouquet by Maggie Bailey and wore her long hair tied up in a glamorous curled ponytail courtesy of Jazmine Johnson.

After posing outside large wooden doors where the ceremony likely took place, Simone was pictured on the rooftop walking hand in hand with her new husband, who wore a beige suit with an unbuttoned white dress shirt and loafers.

"I never knew a love so deep," she captioned the pictures by Houston-based photographer Rachel Taylor, which prompted many of her followers to ask when she would be changing her Instagram bio.

"@simonebiles update your IG to wife from fiance! Love you both," one wrote, and another penned: "Lil sis!!!! I’m watching and waiting for your profile to change from 'fiancée' to 'WIFEY.'"

It's likely that Simone and Jonathan are planning another wedding celebration, since she hinted back in March 2022 that she had purchased several wedding dresses. The star posed in front of the Galia Lahav LA sign dressed in denim shorts, a white top and trainers and wrote: "Said yes to the dress(es)."

Simone and Jonathan got engaged in February 2022, two years after meeting through the exclusive dating app Raya, and showed off a gorgeous ring thought to be worth around $300k. Jonathan previously admitted to Texas Monthly that he didn't know who Simone was, which was one of the things the gymnast later said she liked about her new husband.

Simone teased her wedding was impending over the past few weeks. Not only did she host a bridal shower with her closest friends in Belize, which saw the athlete wear a stunning thigh-high split gown, but she also revealed they had officially received their marriage license. 

"Almost time to say 'I do,'" the bride-to-be captioned a selfie the two took of them in their car holding up the license. "Soon," Jonathan wrote back in the comments section with the fingers crossed emoji.
