Their relationship exudes love, passion, and devotion as the pair leave no stone unturned to express their support for each other in their career endeavors.

The hosts of the Pivot Podcast asked Owens about the origins of their relationship. It was a simple question that sought to uncover the beginnings of their love story. It was at this moment that Jonathan Owens made the controversial remark.
Following a comment from one of the hosts, Simone Biles quickly adjudicated on her husband’s behalf and said, “You know what, he might. Because the other day I said, you know what, in a couple of years, nobody is going to call him, Simone Biles’ husband. They’ll call me Jonathan Owens’ wife”.
But that was not enough for the social media cult, as internet went into frenzy following the podcast, and started forming several conjectures around Owens.
A Twitter user by the name of Shelby Alexis who goes by the moniker ‘Beauty Powerhouse’ wrote, “The interview with Simone Biles and her husband Jonathan Owens is SO embarrassing. I can’t believe she let him talk about their relationship like that”.
Her comments have created a chasm in the fanbase where one side defends Simone Biles, while the other side criticizes Jonathan Owens for the “disrespectful” statement.

I watched the entire interview. Nothing he said was disrespectful or cringe worthy. That’s their love story and it’s beautiful. Truth be told Simone was probably happy he didn’t recognize her right away. At least she knew he wanted to date her and not the superstar.
