Star gymnast Simone Biles has revealed having suffered an emotional breakdown due to the backlash her husband, Jonathan Owens, received for claiming he did not know who she was before they began dating.
Owens, an NFL safety who joined the Chicago Bears after a season with the Green Bay Packers, revealed he wasn’t aware of who Biles was during an interview on ‘The Pivot’ late in 2023.
He also declared he was “the catch,” recalling she drove hours to meet him for the first time.
The comments prompted a wave of criticism and abuse, which Biles admits got to her.
“He said he was a catch,” she said on the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast (H/T Marca). “Because he is! I’ve never met a man like him. I thought it was hilarious at first and then it hurt my feelings.
“One night I broke down and I’m like, ‘Why are you guys talking about my husband like this? You don’t know him. You don’t know who he is and if anybody’s met him, you know he’s the sweetest guy, will do anything for anybody.‘”
Nearly 95 percent of Americans never tuned in to the Olympics in 2021, and there are way more of them who don’t watch the games than those who do.
As for Owens, he was still in college when the gymnast shot to fame and didn’t care for the Olympics at all. Of course, he cares now.
Still, fans who keep abreast got on his back over his comments despite Biles confirming what he said and asking them to lay off him.
Simone Biles Reveals Jonathan Owens Only Recently Applied For His First Passport
According to Simone Biles, her husband only recently acquired a passport to support her at the 2024 Olympic Games.
“I mean, in Paris I think they will do a beautiful job and he doesn’t travel overseas too much,” Biles noted. “He had to get a passport – he never had a passport before. I’m excited for him to see the Olympics because football’s not in the Olympics and he always says it’s the hardest sport, it’s universal. So, why is it not in the Olympics?“
Given this information, it’s not hard to see how the man had no idea who Simone Biles was before they began speaking.
Former ESPN Host Michelle Beadle Had Some Brutal Things To Say To Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker

Harrison Butker’s speech at a college has provoked debate, ire, and controversy, and now, a former ESPN host is speaking out against him.
Kicker Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs delivered the commencement speech to Benedictine College alumni on May 11, and nothing but backlash has followed him ever since.
He stated that Pride Month was a “deadly sin,” denounced abortion rights, and told women they had been given “the most diabolical lies” during his lecture to a private Catholic liberal arts institution in Kansas.
The Kansas City Chiefs kicker told women during his sexist commencement speech last weekend that their “most important title” should be “homemaker.”
“How many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world,” Butker said. “But I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”
“I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and a mother. … I’m beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker.”
