Famous Faces You Didn't Know Met On Dating Apps
Oct 2, 2026
Even some celebrity love stories have started with a swipe. While dating apps are popular among everyday people, a number of famous faces have also turned to them in search of romance.
Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens met on the celebrity dating app Raya in March 2020, with the Olympic gymnast making the first move. In a 2021 interview with Wall Street Journal Magazine, Biles joked that Owens “would say I slid into his DMs.” The couple dated for three years before tying the knot in April 2023 at the Harris County Courthouse in Houston, Texas, followed by a larger celebration in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Finneas O’Connell found his fiancée, Claudia Sulewski, on Raya in 2018. O’Connell shared the story of how they met in a 2024 interview with Vogue, while Sulewski recalled on The Skinny Confidential ‘Him & Her’ Podcast that they “immediately clicked” when they first met. The couple married in August 2026, with Finneas’ sister Billie Eilish in attendance.
