American gymnastics legend Simone Biles and her NFL husband Jonathan Owens are currently living it up in South Africa for a belated honeymoon, after an exciting but busy few years.
A Well-Deserved Break After a Busy Year
The couple, who tied the knot in 2023, had a lot on their plates following their marriage.
Biles, 27, had a stellar performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, earning four medals, while Owens, 29, joined the Chicago Bears in 2024.
Now that they both have some time to relax, they decided to embark on a safari adventure in South Africa, starting their journey in Johannesburg.
Simone Shares a “Postcard” from South Africa
Simone took to Instagram to share her first glimpse of the country with her 12.5 million followers.
In the photo, she’s seen feeding an elephant with the caption, “Consider this my postcard from South Africa.”
The post quickly garnered love from fans, many of whom are based in South Africa, welcoming the couple to their home country.
One user commented, “Welcome to South Africa,” while another fan added, “I hope you’re enjoying your stay here in South Africa.”
Exciting Safari Encounters
The couple’s safari adventure has been nothing short of thrilling.
Biles shared a story of an unexpected encounter with a male lion that came alarmingly close to their vehicle during a night drive.
The big cats are known to be more active at night, and Simone jokingly admitted, “Not gonna lie, I almost s**t myself” in her caption.
In addition to the lions, Simone also posted images of a leopard lounging in a tree, zebras (who she humorously referred to as ‘Marty’ from the film Madagascar), and a warthog she called ‘Pumba’ in reference to The Lion King.
Jonathan Owens Shares His Own Safari Adventures
Owens, on the other hand, shared several clips of his own safari experience, showing a sense of awe and excitement at what he was witnessing.
When they encountered the lion, he admitted, “I had to stop recording, my heart was beating so fast!”
The couple is clearly relishing the chance to unwind after their hectic schedules and make unforgettable memories during this special time together.
What’s Next for the Couple in South Africa?
Now that the couple has begun their honeymoon adventure, many fans are wondering what other experiences they’ll have while in South Africa.
Whether it’s more safari thrills or exploring the vibrant culture, we’re sure they’ll make the most of their time together in the country.
