The initial romance confirmation came shortly after Biles posted a birthday tribute to Owens at the end of July and weeks after Biles confirmed in a July 2020 Vogue interview that she broke up with her boyfriend, gymnast Stacey Ervin Jr. (whom she dated for nearly three years) in early March 2020. When Biles was on her way to her second Olympic Games, Owens wore a red shirt that said “Because I can—Simone Biles” along with Biles’ parents and posted a picture with his Olympian girlfriend holding flowers.
