At first, Jonathan, who was impressed to see Simone?s four million followers, did not know she was the greatest gymnast in the world. He confessed in an interview with WSJ. Magazine:

I just hadn’t heard of her, and when I told her that, that’s one of the things she liked.

Moreover, after meeting her, he started gathering more knowledge about gymnastics. Meanwhile, Simone also admitted that she thought Jonathon was ‘cute’ and hence said ‘hi. She told in the interview:

“I saw him and I was like, ‘Oh, he’s pretty cute,’ so I said hi . . . and then I saw that he was in the Houston area, so we started chatting a little bit, and then we went to hang out a week or two later.”
