The Olympic medal-winning gymnast tied the knot with NFL safety Jonathan Owens over the weekend in Houston.

It was undoubtedly a weekend full of love, as several noteworthy celebrities tied the knot. Not only did Sofia Richie and her beau Elliott Grainge exchange vows, but Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and NFL player Jonathan Owens were also married in Houston. The latter ceremony took place on Saturday (April 22) and was a quaint courthouse affair with close family and friends. The 26-year-old made sure to share plenty of content with her fans on social media following the wedding, though some internet trolls had unkind comments to make about her hairstyle of choice for the big day.

Biles certainly kept it simple, wearing her shiny black inches back into a high ponytail with beautiful waves hanging by her shoulders. Around her face, some baby hairs and edges sit, unlaid, which is markedly a serious problem for some. "I'm happy for Simone Biles Owens, but mfs acting like her edges didn't look bad is annoying," one person wrote on Twitter. "It's not hating to point out something factual???" they added. Thankfully, the love for the Ohio native came out on top of the hate, with many others speaking out in defence of her simple style.

"Simone Biles is one of THEE top gymnasts we've ever seen, has overcome situations of abuse and other obstacles in her childhood, has defined her own success and found love and is now happily married," one of them pointed out. "And y'all worried about her hair..?!" The newlywed caught sight of this sweet message and took time out of her day to respond. "I think they also forget I live in HOUSTON, TEXAS and I sweat those out!!" Biles pointed out.

"Soon as we stepped outside for pics," she added. "But they can keep complaining, idc idc idc," the athlete's message ended, making it clear that she's completely unbothered by the discourse surrounding her hair, or anything else to do with her and Owens' special moment.
