Simone Biles says she ‘broke down’ after husband Jonathan Owens’ viral interview: It ‘really hurt’

Simone Biles admitted that the backlash her husband, Jonathan Owens, faced following his viral interview on the “Pivot” podcast took a serious toll on her mental health.

In December 2023, the NFL player caused controversy online after claiming he didn’t know who Biles — the most decorated gymnast of all time — was before they started dating.

Then, when asked how he managed to snag the Olympic athlete, Owens said he was more of a “catch” than the seven-time Olympic champion.

“I always say that the men are the catch,” the 28-year-old said.
