Another humorously advised, “Don’t do that in public lol,” while a third person remarked that the gesture was “more than a handshake.” SportsCenter uploaded the full video on Facebook, which led to further comments.

A Facebook user commented, “You see how she looks at him with admiration and love in her eyes. Take notes, ladies.” Another person, less approving, said, “I thought that was cute until she put her booty out there for him to slap. You’re a world record holder lady and a role model for young ladies. [sic]”

Echoing this sentiment, someone else wrote, “Keep it off the field,” while a supporter said, “I like that handshake. I’m stealing that one.” A fan added, “Ok Simone…she [is] not shy at all.”

Owens’ team is set to face the Detroit Lions on December 22, 2024.

She later came across Owens on Raya, formerly a dating app, thought he was cute, and sent him a direct message saying “hi.” When she discovered he was in the Houston area, they started chatting, and within a week or two, they met in person and hung out.

Biles’ sister, Adria, observed them flirting for about three weeks before stepping in. She took control by grabbing the gymnast’s phone while Owens was FaceTiming her and asked him if he planned to join their family at a lake house trip in Texas.

The footballer accepted the invitation and arrived with Zeus, his English bulldog. Zeus quickly bonded with Biles’ French bulldog, Lilo. As COVID-19 restrictions eased and the weather improved, the gymnast’s family resumed their Sunday evening dinner tradition, with Owens joining them.

Owens proposed to Biles the day after Valentine’s Day in 2022. She shared the moment on social media, showing him kneeling as she excitedly said “yes” and jumped into his arms.

The couple celebrated the moment with drinks and a kiss. Netizens also got a close-up view of the stunning engagement ring.

The post was titled, “I do 🤍 officially owens 🤍.” The civil ceremony was held at the Harris County Courthouse.

She advised, “So I definitely recommend a wedding planner. Carena Trampe of Amy Abbott Events kept me sane the entire time.”

Fans saw highlights of the event, such as the couple jumping the broom, posing with family and groomsmen, dancing, kissing, their wedding rings, and more.

The couple’s destination wedding saw them exchanging vows in front of 144 people.

He explained, “She’s super excited to be a NFL wife [sic]. That’s one of her favorite things to do.”
