Simone Biles

US gymnastics great Simone Biles has said that her Olympic medals now are not her prized possession, after NFL star boyfriend Jonathan Owens proposed her with diamond ring on Valentine's Day.

Biles, 24, and Owens, 26, have been dating each other since March 2020 and made their relationship official in August later that year.

Biles, who has won a combined total of 32 Olympic and World Championship medals, appeared recently on American TV show, Today. Host Carson Daly jokingly asked Biles: "You have so much gold, Simone. The ring that you have now, does it match all the hardware that you have? The gold, the silver, does it clash?" Simone replied: "It's definitely my most prized possession now and I'm always wearing it. It definitely beats a gold medal."
