Biles and Owens met online shortly before the pandemic in 2020 and expressed that the lockdown gave them a chance to spend time with each other and get to known one another better.
“It was one of the few times in her life where everything was just shut off and she couldn’t do anything,” Owen told Texas Monthly in 2021. “So we used it to get to know each other—really get to know each other. It created our bond and made it stronger. Now I’m so thankful.”
