Despite Shade on Jonathan Owens, Simone Biles Leaves Travis Kelce Stunned

NFL’s most talked about couples this season, Travis Kelce with pop megastar Taylor Swift and Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles with Jonathan Owens have gotten into a one-sided diss battle. It all happened after Kelce and Biles were nominated for the “People’s Choice Athlete of the Year Award,” putting them on opposing sides of the fence. In 2023 there was drama after Jonathan Owens appeared on the “Pivot” podcast.

He caused a stir when he declared, “I always say that the men are the catch,” during the interview, which prompted criticism on social media. Now, the brewing dispute is back in the limelight after the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast, which is hosted by Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce. They took a dig at Green Bay Packers safety Owens’s exclusion from the nominee list.

“Owens? Played some good ball over there, I guess,” Travis said after putting away his shared laugh with Jason. Fans of the seven-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles who is making her third appearance in the Olympics this year, weren’t letting go of this disrespect. While this drama saw divided reactions online, Page Six’s feature highlighted, “notably failing to mention that his relationship with Taylor Swift may have helped secure him the honor(nomination).”

Kelce made fun of Owens linking it to what he said in December that he was a better “catch” than his wife Simone Biles. While there was more to it, Owens also revealed that he had no idea who Biles was when they connected on the dating app Raya back in 2020. His statements went viral on the internet while many shared proof of Jonathan’s earlier comment on gymnastics. Here’s all you need to know!
