Simone Biles Stands By Her Man After He Declared ‘I’m the Catch’

Simone Biles stood by her husband, Jonathan Owens, amidst a social media uproar triggered by his admission that he was unaware of her status as a renowned gymnast before they met. The controversy began after Owens, a football player for the Chicago Bears, expressed on “The Pivot” podcast in 2023 that he did not recognize Biles as the greatest gymnast of all time before their relationship. His comments led to significant backlash online, with some going as far as suggesting Biles should divorce him. Addressing the issue on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Biles revealed that the public’s harsh criticism towards Owens deeply affected her, causing her to break down emotionally. Despite the negativity, she chose not to retaliate against the critics publicly, explaining that while she could handle personal attacks, she found it harder to ignore attacks against her family. Biles emphasized her commitment to protecting her loved ones, underscoring Owens’ kind nature and his importance in her life.
