Amidst Backlash on Jonathan Owens, Simone Biles’ Indirect Support for Husband Leaves Fans in Frenzy

“When I first met him, we had a game night and a glass of wine. It just felt right, we both vibed and we both understood each other,” this is what Simone Biles conceded when recalling the initial days of her relationship with Jonathan Owens. From becoming each other’s perfect match on the dating app Raya to saying ‘I do’ to each other, the power couple came a long way. And, ever since then, Biles and Owens’ relationship became an epitome of love and devotion. However, after a recent turn of events, Mr. and Mrs. Owens faced a backlash from the social media cult, in the wake of some remarks.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens made a guest appearance on The Pivot Podcast. Owens was asked how he managed to get someone as attractive as Simone Biles. His response, however, generated a lot of heat as he said that it was Biles who made the move on him. Taking a silent shot at this, the 6x all-around world champion posted a new response. 

Simone Biles and her wholesome post after backlash for Jonathan Owens

Simone Biles took to Instagram and added a new post showcasing a goofy image of herself with her husband Jonathan Ownes. Biles and Owens can be seen pulling at their mouths while striking for a hilarious pose that was captioned as “mood.” The post has left the internet in splits, as many have sided with Biles, while many still hold their grudge against Owens.

Notably, Biles was laughing during the entire interaction of the podcast, and was in fact, proud that she made the move. Fans who sided with her argued why people have a problem when it is Simone Biles who knows the inner dynamics of their bond. 

Against this, however, some still carry doubts about Owens in their mind. Another set of fans is supportive of the couple but believes that the NFL star should be mindful of what he says. Responding to the post, Jonathan Owens wrote, “You feeeeeeel me, my best friend.” Interestingly, Biles too once conceded that, it was she who first approached Owens by sliding in his DMs.

In an interview with Wall Street Journal, Biles once pulled off the curtains from her relationship with Owens and stated, “He would say I slid into his DMs. 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.” And since then, the couple has been supporting and cheering each other through thick and thin.

When Biles withdrew her name from the gymnastics all-around event at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, in the wake of ‘twisties’, the NFL safety expressed his support and stated, “Imma ride with you through whatever baby.” “Your strength and courage is unmatched and you inspire me more and more everyday SB,” said Owens in a heartfelt post.

However, as Owens narrated how his early days of dating Biles went and how he was completely oblivious to who she really was in the Pivot podcast, he became a subject of scrutiny. Though, the internet left divided on Owens’ remarks on his first meeting with Biles, is it apt to form conjectures based on what the NFL safety reminisced about his initial days of dating Biles?
