*Weeks after confirming her split from ex Stacey Ervin Jr., Simone Biles has a new boyfriend.

On Sunday, the Olympian, 23, shared photos on Instagram of herself cozying with football player Jonathan Owens. In one of the images, the Houston Texans safety, 25, is standing behind Biles while leaning in to kiss her neck.

“It’s just us,” she captioned the snapshots (see below). 

Biles confirmed her split from fellow gymnast Ervin Jr. last month in a cover story for Vogue

“It’s hard being young and having that long of a relationship and then ending it,” the four-time gold medalist told the publication. “But it was for the best.”

Biles and Ervin sparked breakup rumors earlier this year after fans noticed she unfollowed him on social media.

Word on the curb is that she dumped him around Valentine’s Day after catching him cheating.

Confirmation of their breakup also came after fans noticed Stacey did not wish Biles a happy birthday in March.

Biles and Ervin Jr. went public with their relationship in 2017. As noted by PEOPLE, she made her love for him known in a post, writing, “always smiling with you,” in a caption for a photo on Instagram with the former athlete. Biles previously declared Ervin the “man of her dreams,” and wrote in January, “I’m excited to love you for a very long time.”

Meanwhile, fans began to speculate about her relationship with Owens last month after she shared a post in honor of his birthday.

“Happy 25th birthday,” she wrote on her Instagram Story, alongside a photograph of Owens giving her a piggyback ride, per The Shade Room. “Hope this year brings you everything you want & more.”

In her interview with Vogue, Biles also spoke about her preparation for the upcoming Olympics, which have been rescheduled for July 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Training has been a little bit different,” she said. “It’s been kind of crazy, but going in every day knowing and hoping that 2021 is on the horizon keeps me going. It’s just, we don’t know what’s going to happen, so we train as if.”
