Simone Biles recently took to Instagram to defend her husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens, after receiving criticism online. Biles expressed frustration with those disrespecting her relationship and husband and warned that she would block anyone who continued to make negative comments. Despite the backlash, Biles thanked Owens for his support after her victory at the U.S. Classic and described him as the best supporter and husband she could ask for.
The criticism of Owens stemmed from an interview he gave on a podcast where he admitted he did not know who Biles was when they first connected on the dating app Raya. However, Biles had previously defended Owens during an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, emphasizing that he is a kind and supportive partner. Despite her defense of Owens, social media users continued to refer to him as “Mr. Biles,” prompting Biles to issue a stern response to the disrespectful comments.
Biles’ strong reaction to the criticism of her husband comes as she prepares for her long-awaited return to the Olympics in Paris. After withdrawing from the 2020 Olympics due to the “twisties,” Biles made a successful comeback at the U.S. Classic, securing a commanding lead with an all-around score of 59.500. Despite some nerves, Biles expressed gratitude for the opportunity to compete again and remains focused on her Olympic goals.
The ongoing scrutiny of Biles and Owens’ relationship highlights the challenges faced by high-profile couples in the public eye. Despite the negative comments, Biles continues to prioritize her mental health and focus on her athletic performance. With the support of her husband and her fans, Biles remains determined to excel at the upcoming Olympics and prove her detractors wrong. As she gears up for another shot at Olympic glory, Biles remains resilient and poised to make a triumphant return to the world stage.
