Simone Biles Tells Critics to 'F--k off' Over Marriage to Bears' Jonathan Owens
May 20, 2024
Four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles had a blunt message for those who continue to comment critically on her husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens.
"I'm going to quickly address this, the joke was never a joke! Y'all are blatantly being disrespectful to my relationship & my husband," Biles wrote in an Instagram story (via People's Becca Longmire). "So I'm gonna go ahead and say this one time. Respectfully, f--k off. & if you keep commenting or tweeting at me I'm just going to block you. Simple as that."
Owens was on hand to watch his wife compete in the Core Hydration Classic over the weekend. Biles had the highest all-around score, placing first in the floor exercise and vault, and made a strong impression looking ahead to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
It would appear Biles in her social media post was addressing the response Owens has generally received after he described himself as "the catch" in their relationship in an appearance on The Pivot Podcast in December. Some felt the remark was far too dismissive of Biles' historic achievements in gymnastics.
Addressing the situation on Call Her Daddy in April (via Us Weekly's Shelby Stivale), Biles said she was in the room off-screen while Owens was being interviewed and thought everything had gone well.
"Then, I go on Twitter and everybody's like, 'Divorce this man, he's mean,'" she remarked.
Biles added she's "never met a man like him" and that "he truly goes out of his way to do anything for me."
The disparaging observations about Owens are clearly something she takes personally.
