Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens Adorably Visit Daycare in South Africa During Their Belated Safari Honeymoon

On their long-awaited honeymoon, the athletes visited a daycare center where they handed out blankets and snacks

Simone Biles and husband Jonathan Owens spent some time with little ones during their belated honeymoon to South Africa.

On Thursday, Feb. 20, the Olympic gymnast shared photos of herself and the NFL safety at a daycare that had been started by a staff member who works at the hotel where the couple is staying.

Obert started this himself from the ground up,” wrote Biles, 27, on her Instagram story. “He just wanted to help the community and the children.”

The gold medalist explained that the daycare serves 87 local children and gives them a safe space to learn and play while their parents are at work.

The couple has been reveling in their honeymoon, which they were finally able to go on almost two years after their April 2023 wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Biles and Owens, 29, first met in 2020 and became engaged two years later.

Romantic photos started popping up on the star’s social media as soon as she and the Chicago Bears safety began their trip from the U.S. to South Africa in mid-February.

In the trip update on Feb. 20, Biles celebrated the staff and children at the daycare.

Photos and video from Biles’ Instagram story show the couple handing out nutritional bars to the kids. They also gave out blankets that were knitted by the local senior center, according to her Instagram story. Biles took a moment to tuck in one of the children.
