<\/p>\nJonathan Owens went viral for something he said in an interview, but his wife came to his defense.
\nHe\u2019s since shown how supportive he is by attending her events and the 2024 Olympics.
\nSimone Biles and Jonathan Owens dated shortly before taking their relationship to the next level.<\/p>\n
Simone Biles met and married the man of her dreams but didn\u2019t expect that netizens would pick on something he once said about their relationship to troll him for months. The couple is still together despite some people wanting them to divorce, and he\u2019s since attended the Paris Olympics to support her.<\/p>\n

Netizens Criticize Owens for Calling Himself \u201cThe Catch\u201d
\nOn December 20, 2023, Jonathan Owens got interviewed on The Pivot Podcast, where he was asked how he attracted someone like Biles. The footballer revealed that the question they had to ask was \u201chow she pulled me.\u201d He then explained how it all happened saying he was in Houston for a few months and was single at the time.<\/p>\n
A friend of his advised him to try a dating application (app) called Raya. After having the app for a few days, Biles popped up. The fact that she is a gymnast piqued his curiosity, as he\u2019d never paid any attention to the sport.<\/p>\n

After swiping positively to her, the pair matched, and after a workout, Owens checked the app and discovered he got some likes. He decided to take a shower, and when he checked his phone again, Biles had messaged him.<\/p>\n
But the footballer thought the message was fake, and at the time, he didn\u2019t know who the gymnast was. What also got his attention about Biles was that she had a lot of followers, so he figured she was good at her sport.<\/p>\n
Explaining why he didn\u2019t know her, Owens revealed he was in college when she won the first Olympics. Being at a training camp, they didn\u2019t have Olympic channel coverage. But since Biles\u2019 message came in on a Tuesday, they messaged back and forth before hanging out that Friday.<\/p>\n
Due to the pandemic hitting that year, the duo couldn\u2019t do anything significant, and the gymnast drove 45 minutes to see the footballer. Owens said the rest was history before confirming that he was \u201cthe catch\u201d in their relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
