Simone Biles recently opened up about the pain she felt from the negative comments she and her husband, Jonathan Owens, received after his interview went viral in 2023. Owens, an NFL player for the Chicago Bears, appeared on "The Pivot Podcast" and referred to himself as "the catch", while also discussing his initial feelings when meeting Biles. He admitted that he didn't know who Biles was when they first matched on a dating app, and equated her success as a gymnast to the number of followers she had on social media. Owens also shared how he struggled with the fear of commitment due to his early NFL career.
The public's reaction to the interview was not positive, with fans telling Biles to leave her husband and suggesting that she was more interested in him than he was in her. Looking back, Biles recalls feeling crushed by the public's perception of her husband. She clarified that the interview was all about him and that she had no issue with him having his own moment. However, she also noted that his comments about being "the catch" were taken out of context, and he never downplayed her role in their relationship.
Biles describes her husband as the sweetest guy who praises her and practices chivalry by holding doors for her and making her feel beautiful. She also reveals that seeing people who don't know Owens personally criticize him was hurtful to her. Despite initially finding the negative comments amusing, they eventually got under her skin and even caused her to break down one night. Biles couldn't understand why people were talking about her husband in such a negative light, especially since he treats her so well.
Their first wedding anniversary is coming up on April 22, and Biles is preparing for a potential return to the Olympics in Paris this summer. She is currently the most decorated gymnast in history, and her husband's support and love mean the world to her. Biles wants people to know that she can handle any criticism directed towards her, but she won't tolerate anyone attacking her family. As she continues to thrive in her career and marriage, Biles and Owens remain unbothered by the haters.
