Olympic champion Simone Biles has been getting candid with her followers via TikTok. She posted a clip of her getting “un-ready” with her fans while she shared “a few fun facts.”

Biles’ facts ranged from goofy and lighthearted to seriously interesting. She explained how she’s had “three plastic surgeries,” and she went into detail in the comments regarding the two surprising ones that most of her fans wouldn’t be able to detect. Biles also shared that she only started doing her own laundry when she moved out of her family home. She went on to note that she’s only ever tried gymnastics as a sport, and her correct height is 4-feet-8-inches tall.

For Biles’ final fact, she notes that she’s only ever dated one other person aside from her husband, Jonathan Owens.

“Jonathan is only my second relationship,” she said.

So, who did Biles date before Owens? According to Parade, she previously dated fellow gymnast Stacey Ervin Jr.

Fans may remember how Biles and Owens met. They first connected in March 2020 via the invite‑only dating app Raya, at the very beginning of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Biles made the first move, sliding into Owens’ direct messages after spotting his profile. Owens, who later admitted he didn’t initially recognize Biles, recalled seeing her follower count. He thought, “OK, she’s got to be good,” and soon accepted an in‑person invitation from her family, according to ABC News.
