Simone Biles' Husband Sparks Controversy with 'Catch' Comment

Jonathan Owens claims he didn't know who Biles was when they first met, causing a stir online.

Simone Biles' husband, Jonathan Owens, has sparked controversy by claiming he was the 'catch' in their relationship and that he didn't know who Biles was when they first met on a dating app.
Owens, a Green Bay Packers safety, said on 'The Pivot' podcast that he had never paid attention to gymnastics and only realized Biles' fame when he saw her large number of Instagram followers.
The comments have divided the internet, with some criticizing Owens for his perceived disrespect towards Biles, the most decorated Olympic gymnast of all time.
Despite the backlash, Owens and Biles appear unbothered, with Owens sharing throwback wedding photos on Instagram and writing, 'Unbothered 😂❤️ Just know we locked in over here 🤞🏽.'
Biles and Owens met in 2020, got engaged in February 2022, and were married in April 2023.
