Moving Past ‘Divorce’ Trolls, Simone Biles’ Husband Jonathan Owens Recalls Beautiful Moments in Heartfelt Anniversary Note

After celebrating their marriage anniversary on April 22, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have reached another milestone–marking a year in their wedding ceremony in Cabo, Mexico, on May 6. In the last few months, the couple went through public scrutiny, especially after Jonathan Owens claimed, “I always say that the men are the catch” on the Pivot podcast regarding their relationship. However, the duo remained unfazed, and each time showed their fans how their bond was above everything. This was once again evident from Jonathan’s latest post commemorating their marriage anniversary.

“Still can’t believe this was a year ago already!!! Hands down the best day of my life,” Owens wrote along with the perfect moment from their wedding day in Cabo. Soon, Mrs. Owens paired beautifully on JO’s IG post as she left her mark in the comment box, “my whole heart,” with love and pride emojis.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have been the pillars of strength for each other throughout. After their marriage last year, the couple had to stay in different places because of their sporting engagements. While the distance was an upset for the two, the social media outcry post-Owens’ Pivot podcast did affect Biles. The gymnast called out the ‘divorce’ trolls in her conversation in the Call Her Daddy podcast, saying: “Divorce him. Divorce him, all this crazy stuff. And like, he doesn’t even like to say divorce. He’s probably dying right now that I’ve said it like six times in a row. Divorce?”

Expressing how the harsh attacks affected her, the 7x Olympic medalist once said, “One night I broke down, and I’m like, why are you guys talking about my husband like this? Yeah. Like you don’t know him.” While his catch comment might have gotten the roll balling, the origin of these trolls is something worth doing a deep dive into. On the acclaimed Pivot Podcast, he mentioned to the hosts that he had no idea who Simone Biles initially was. Veering from this conversation to another allied tangent, his actual words verbatim were –“I always say the men are the catch”. 

Caught in the swirling typhoon of his comments, which ranged from jeeringly deriding him as a red flag to the aforementioned call for divorce. His wifey though was quick to take notice of this all and being visibly irked and standing by in solidarity with her husband, retorted with a gif and an underlying caption –“are y’all done yet?” Owens even had a tempered response in his arsenal as to why he wasn’t aware of Simone Biles and her stardom -“When she won the Olympics, I was in college, and we didn’t have NBC,”. He further bemoaned that –“We didn’t have Olympics channels and we’re in camp. We’re in camp in late July, early August.” His clincher was when he proclaimed that –“So I’m not paying attention…I’m like, ‘Lemme see who this is.’ I never really paid attention to gymnastics, so it piqued my curiosity.”

Amid all the cacophony regarding Simone’s preference for Jonathan Owens, the couple never failed to celebrate their relationship and bond. The recent back-to-back celebrations acted in that way.

On April 22 this year, both Simone and Jonathan showcased their love for each other by posting commemorating messages. Remembering their court marriage anniversary, Biles raised the toast with the lines, “To many more baby!!!! I wish I could marry you a million more times! I love you so much! ” Amidst the continuous social media scrutiny over their bonding, such lines prove the firm consistency between Biles and Owens. Moreover, the 7x Olympic medalist holds the Cabo Lucas ceremony higher than anything else, as she had mentioned previously. 

Simone Biles’ night of being ‘12 out of 10’ 

Being a fan of tropical weather, Simone Biles’ ultimate preference went with Cabo San Lucas when planning her Big Day. Topping the entire ceremony, the families of Biles and Owens kept it a close-knit affair, inviting 140 guests. It was all about lavishness and gold and white decor to serve the actual hue of the celebration. Both Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens did well with their outfits: Simone appeared with four different attires, whereas Owens preferred a tan suit and a bowtie. Adding more uniqueness, the entire occasion went nervously for the revered gymnast, as she mentioned later, “I’ve never been so nervous before in my life.” In contrast, she left Cabo with eyes full of happy tears.

Riding on overwhelming emotion, Simone later penned on her IG story, “bawled my eyes out leaving Cabo. We had the most beautiful wedding. I miss it already.” With the addition of a Cinco-de-Drinko-themed welcome party on the occasion, the celebration filled Simone Biles like nothing else. So when after one month, Jonathan Owens set sail for Green Bay Packers, Simone was left with all the memories to dance with. Remembering that part of her life, she later conceded, “I’m so sad it’s all over. I want to do it again. We had the best night of our lives. It was a 12 out of 10!” Such has been their story till now! After one year, the couple is looking busy again as JO has been in Chicago for NFL camp and Simone Biles has been in Texas for her gymnastics camp. Now, amidst the busy schedules and unwanted criticism, the celebratory post flaunts the ‘feel good’ nature.
