Biles and Owens met via a dating site in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and by 2022 the pair had become engaged to one another.

It was over a year later that the new ‘IT’ couple finally got to tie the knot, and it was a simple affair, with just the two of them and a judge in attendance. Biles and Owen explained that they were planning a more extravagant destination wedding, but wanted to get officially married in the US first.

As with most newlyweds, they were quick to share photos from their special day; Biles reportedly wore a white tiered midi dress worth just $120 and shoes that cost $35, which she bought on sale.

But while some people praised Biles for her outfit – the gymnast admitted she ordered everything the week of, from her dress, shoes, wedding bands, and even her bouquet – there were others who took it upon themselves to criticize her.

As per reports, now-deleted tweets claimed at the time that Biles’ hair looked “unkempt” in the photos, while others said she “should’ve laid the edges” and “could’ve at least gotten a lace in front.”

What followed was a debate between her fans and her detractors, with Biles herself eventually weighing in on the matter.

Taking to X, the superstar athlete tweeted: “I think they also forget I live in HOUSTON TEXAS & I sweat those out!! Soon as we stepped outside for pics. But they can keep complaining idc idc idc.”

In May 2023, Biles and Owens said their vows in Cabo, Mexico, in front of 144 guests at their more-extensively-planned destination wedding.

I don’t know about you, but I think Biles looked amazing in her wedding photos! Let us know your thoughts in the comments box.
