Not even a week has passed since gymnastics queen Simone Biles Owens and NFL star Jonathan Owens announced their surprise Houston wedding, and fans are already speculating on the couple's next wedding — and even debating Biles' wedding hair on her big day.

More on the hair later, but first, the next wedding. The dynamic duo, whom Jonathan tagged as #TheOwens, tied the knot at the Harris County Courthouse with Judge Jay Karahan officiating. They shared wedding-day photos by Houston photographer Rachel Taylor on social media. "I do," Biles wrote on Instagram, adding, "officially owens." Her new husband commented, "Wifey got a great ring to it. ❤️💍 First day of forever."

On his own post, Jonathan simply wrote "My person, forever."

They then shared pics of a post-poolside toast on their IG stories, with Biles Owens' adorable caption, "cheers husband." In a move every husband can relate to, Owens captioned a photo of a metallic martini glass full of assorted fruits — and his gorgeous bride — with the caption, "My two favorite things 😂❤️."

So what's next? Speculation abounds as to the celebrity couple's next wedding and its locale. “We will be having a wedding in a couple of weeks,” Biles Owens told fans during an Instagram Stories Q&A session on April 23. “We had to get married ‘legally’ here in the US — since our wedding will be a destination wedding.”

Sports site Gymnastics Now (somewhat confidently) reports that the Owenses are "set to formally tie the knot in Baja California Sur on May 6." (CultureMap can't confirm these details.)

Wedding site The Knot notes that the second wedding color theme will be champagne, gold, and white, and that the couple plans to host some 140 guests at the mystery location. During the Q&A session, Biles Owens revealed that she and her new hubby are considering a minimoon in Bora Bora, most likely after the 2023-2024 NFL season.

Biles Owens also reminded fans how relatable she actually is, noting on her IG session that she and Owens "went so over budget," (been there) and that, "you only live once." While she boasts a total of four wedding dresses, she nabbed her white, tiered Selfie Leslie wedding dress online for a mere $120 the week of the Houston nuptials. Fans who're curious as to her white, strappy heeled sandals can find them online at Pretty Little Thing.

In an eye-roll reminder of celeb scrutiny, Biles Owens' hair was actually the subject of dubious shade. Some actually called her hair “a mess.” One comment, which sparked numerous retorts, complained about her hairline and that her “edges should have been laid.” (Umm, okay.)

Biles Owens — who has famously been through far, far worse worse than this kind of nonsense — actually fired back on Twitter, reminding haters that Houston is, well, balmy. "i think they also forget i live in HOUSTON TEXAS & I sweat those out!! soon as we stepped outside for pics but they can keep complaining idc idc idc."

We don't care either, Simone. Here's to your big wedding sequel, minimoon/honeymoon, and endless days of bliss with your forever person.

Idina Menzel helps Dallas Symphony Gala defy gravity and raise $1.3M

WHAT: 2026 Dallas Symphony Orchestra Symphony Gala

WHERE: Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center

THE 411: The Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s annual black-tie gala - led by chairs Allison and Brett Brodnax and honorary chairs Linda L. Burk and John R. Gilmore - raised a record $1.3 million to support music education, community engagement, and artistic initiatives across North Texas.

More than 550 guests attended the sold-out dinner on September 26, held beneath a canopy of gold branches in the Meyerson lobby and themed “Harvest Rhapsody.”

The evening began with a cocktail reception, and continued with dinner and the main event - a gala concert featuring Broadway star Idina Menzel with the DSO.

Conducted by Enrico Lopez-Yañez, the concert featured Menzel singing favorites from Rent, Wicked, and Frozen. In a sweet moment, she invited three young girls from the audience onstage to sing with her. An appropriate gesture as the gala supports DSO programs that bring music to more than 200,000 adults and children annually.

A post-concert after-party kept the energy up for those who weren't quite ready to end the celebrations yet.

WHO: Isabelle Haemisegger, David Haemisegger, Nancy Nasher, Roger Gault, Marena Gault, Sherwood Wagner, Todd Clendening, Laura Harris-Means, Patrick Means, Lisa Segert, Bob Segert, Donna Weitzman, Herb Weitzman, Jennifer Perez, Kristina Kirkenaer-Hart, Grace Cook, Jane Montgomery, Michael Catrino, Claire Catrino, Meredith Camp, Cyndi Phelps, Denise Do, Steve Do, Karen Cox, Kevin Cox, Calvert Collins-Bratton, Vince Bratton, and hundreds more DSO patrons and guests.
