True love sees no boundaries, and career differences are one of them. In a bold and confident move, Simone Biles‘ husband Jonathan Owens has taken a stand against the ongoing criticism focused on his wife’s career. Biles, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, continues to make headlines for her exceptional achievements in gymnastics. Alongside, she has also become a target of intense scrutiny and judgment from critics.
Jonathan Owens recently joined the Chicago Bears after his stint with the Green Bay Packers. This once again brings the focus back to the couple’s career. Amid this backdrop, Jonathan has emerged as a vocal defender, challenging critics who seek to make a comparison between their accomplishments in the sporting arena. Owens has stepped into the argument to put an end to the drama and shift the focus back to Biles’ remarkable talent and accomplishments.
Standing strong: Simone Biles’ husband defends her career
Recently, a video interview was posted by Fox32Chiacago, where Jonathan was asked about his views on the career spotlight his wife has, to which he responded, “I love it. I don’t care at all”. The 28-year-old continued his answer by adding, “That’s my wife. If anything, it’s like a respect thing that people always mention my wife first, because you always want your wife on this pedestal. I love her. I support her. It’s no jealousy. We both support each other to the fullest.” His response was strong enough to stop all those critics from adding more.
Ever since they got married in 2023, such questions have been asked to the couple, but their responses always prove their strength and love for each other. These two started with a close encounter in the Texans Game in 2019. They then were matched by the dating app Raya in 2020. After that, there was no looking back.
They have had each other’s back every time. During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Simone Biles withdrew from several events, citing mental health concerns. During this challenging time, her partner, Jonathan Owens, provided great support and stood by her side. Simone reciprocated as well. The latest incident was one more example of that.
Jonathan Owens and Simone Biles put up a united front
Recently a statement made jokingly by Jonathan Owens, “I always say that the men are the catch,” when asked about his relationship with Simone Biles, sparked controversy because of its potentially outdated connotations. Jonathan Owens’ remark was met with massive scrutiny by Simone Biles’ fans. During this situation also Simone Biles showcased her respect and belief in Owens. In a direct jab at the haters, wrote on her X, “Are y’all done yet?”. Alongside, she has repeatedly asserted that she is by her husband, celebrating love. To top it, she has been the biggest cheerleader of Owens.
Simone Biles has been there, no matter whichever way Owens’ career has taken him. She has been a vocal supporter of the Packers during Jonathan’s time with the team. Who can forget Simone braving the chilling Green Bay weather to show up? Even if unable to be on his side, Simone is present virtually, just as she did while Jonathan was signing the Contract with the Chicago Bears. Simone was on a video call to witness the moment. There goes the couple, ditching the haters, and celebrating their love for each other.
