Though he went undrafted in the 2018 NFL Draft, Owens joined the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent. Unfortunately, a knee injury during practice sidelined him before he could make his rookie debut. Despite this setback, Owens continued to pursue his dreams and now plays as a Safety for the Houston Texans, with his wife, Simone Biles, as his biggest supporter, cheering him on at every game.
How did they meet?

After sharing details of her wedding outfit, Simone Biles sparked a shopping frenzy, with fans eager to replicate her simple yet elegant look. The items she wore quickly sold out as admirers rushed to get their hands on them.
Biles confessed that she ordered everything just a week before the wedding—her dress, shoes, wedding bands, and even her bouquet. She admitted that her focus was more on their upcoming destination wedding, so she kept the civil ceremony preparations minimal.
Following their vows, the couple enjoyed a simple photoshoot, capturing post-nuptial photos in various locations, including an elegant elevator and a rooftop with stunning views.
