Biles, 24, and the 26-year-old Owens have been dating since 2020 after they met over social media.
She has credited him for helping her through tough times at the Tokyo Olympics last summer, when a case of the “twisties” forced her to withdraw from some events. She returned to win a bronze medal in the balance beam — her seventh overall Olympic medal.
Owens played in seven games (two starts) for the Texans in 2021. He made 17 tackles, intercepted one pass and recovered a fumble.
