Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and her husband, Houston Texans Safety Jonathan Owens, had a second and more ritzy wedding in Cabo, Mexico.
A month after tying the knot in a private ceremony at the Harris County Courthouse in Houston, Texas, the couple arranged a lavish wedding in Cabo to exchange “I do’s” in front of 144 friends and family.
TMZ shared photos of Biles donning a sheer white floral wedding gown by Galia Lahav for the ceremony. In one shot, Biles carried a bouquet of white flowers while hanging on her father’s arm as he walked her down the aisle. Other pictures also displayed the athletic couple exchanging wedding vows; Biles read hers from a piece of paper. As wedding attendees mingled in a couple of photos, Owens and Biles were seemingly in their own world, glancing into each other’s eyes and exchanging a kiss.

Iris Films, a Georgia-based film production company, compiled footage from the beach party into a single Instagram post.

But Biles explained to her followers in her Instagram Story that the courthouse wedding was more of a formality.
“We had to get married ‘legally’ here in the U.S. since our wedding will be a destination wedding,” She wrote on April 23.
Owens proposed to Biles on Feb. 14, 2022, presenting the gymnast with an oval-shaped diamond engagement ring by jeweler Zo Frost. In March 2023, the couple announced they were building a home from the ground up in Texas.
