Why did Jonathan Owens put having babies with Simone Biles on the back-burner?

Owens and Biles recently appeared on ‘The Pivot Podcast’, hosted by NFL icons, Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder. The NFL icons discussed topics like football, food, and life, and the interview took an interesting turn when the subject of babies arose.

Host Channing Crowder, aware of the immense potential the two hold as a couple, told Jonathan and Simone Biles, “Boy, y’all need to make some babies, boy. Y’all need to make about 11 babies.”
