The couple first met during the pandemic in March 2020 on a dating app called Raya, but crossed paths months before according to Us Weekly. With both athletes living in Houston while the city was shut down, they were able to take a break from their busy schedules and get to know one another.
Just a year later, Jonathan was head over heels for Simone and shared numerous posts with them smiling from ear to ear. His March 2021 birthday post to her also included a sweet message.
“Got the hottest chick in the game wearin’ my chain. Wishing the happiest 24th birthday to my lady, I’m so excited for what the future holds for us and I can’t wait to celebrate many more with you. I love you, baby,” Jonathan said.
Fans shared their thoughts on the newly married couple.
