Simone Biles finds ways to celebrate her love for Jonathan Owens, whether it’s in Switzerland, Miami, or South Africa. Their trip to the country is a delayed honeymoon, something they had long desired. Due to their professional commitments, they had to postpone their needs for almost two years. After getting engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2022, Simone made it public that she wished to go on a honeymoon.

Simone’s honeymoon trip took almost 1000 days to come to fruition, starting on February 16. Despite the long wait, they have been sharing joyful moments. On TikTok, Simone posted a clip captioned, “i’ll probably still call my dad first 🤍😂,” featuring Jonathan Owens making the most of their delayed honeymoon in South Africa.

Simone’s Instagram stories kept fans updated, including their dinner date, hotel tokens, and a steam bath they enjoyed. The couple’s trip showcases their affection despite long periods apart due to their careers. Jonathan shared a snap of their steam bath, captioned, “Best way to start the day.”

Simone’s Instagram stories on February 15 hinted at a desire to go to Bora Bora, but they chose South Africa instead, possibly to create new memories away from the public eye. Their journey together reflects their growth; three years ago, Simone was still establishing herself, while Jonathan recently signed a two-year contract with the Chicago Bears. They have come a long way, and their bond remains strong.

The couple endured a long flight to their honeymoon destination, yet Jonathan embraced the role of entertainer, sharing moments with Simone during the journey. Despite the challenges, their love endures, showcasing that sometimes waiting for the right moment is truly worth it.
