Simone Biles Addresses Backlash Over Husband's Comments
Star gymnast speaks out about viral interview involving husband Jonathan Owens
Biles says she is standing by her husband despite fans' criticism
Simone Biles, Olympic gold medalist and one of the most decorated gymnasts in history, has addressed the recent backlash surrounding comments made by her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens. In a social media post on Saturday night, Biles wrote, "When you're married to an amazing person, you'll do anything for them. I'll always stand by my boo and I'm proud to do so."
The controversy stems from an interview Owens gave to The New York Times in December, in which he said he did not know who Biles was before they started dating. Biles' fans criticized Owens for his remarks, accusing him of being disrespectful and unaware of her accomplishments.
Biles, 25, and Owens, 27, met in 2020 and married in 2023. Owens is a safety for the Houston Texans.
Biles' social media post has been met with support from her fans and fellow athletes. Many have praised her for standing by her husband and for not letting the negative comments affect their relationship.
Biles is currently training for the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she hopes to make history once again. She is the only gymnast to win four Olympic gold medals in a single Games, and she is also the most decorated American gymnast of all time.
