    Simone Biles has maintained a "long-distance" relationship with her husband for more than a year

    The 27-year-old gymnast - who made a grand return to the Olympics in the summer of 2024 after almost a decade away - tied the knot with professional football safety Jonathan Owens, 29, in April 2023 but admitted that they have hardly seen each other since then because of her hectic career

    17 December 2024

    She told E! News: "Honestly, since my husband and I got married we've been doing long-distance. After the Olympics and my tour, I would say the highlight has been spending quality time with him for the first time in the longest time since we've been married.

    "Just cherishing those times, moving into our house in Chicago, and making it our home."

    The sports star - who is the most decorated gymnast in history - was then asked what her hopes are for next year and she admitted that she just wants to spend it "giving back" and helping others as much as she can.

    She said: "Besides relaxing and going on a couple of vacations with my husband, I really just trying to be involved in the community as much as I can as well as giving back."

    In August, Simone revealed that she and her NFL star husband "always talk about kids", they both have their own goals to focus on before settling down in that way.

    She told 'Today' host Hoda Kotb: "Yes, me and Jonathan always talk about kids, and he would have had them yesterday if he could have.

    "Obviously we both have goals that we want to achieve before we start a family. But, yes, that's definitely in our future."
