Simone Biles has a few words for her social-media followers.
The Olympic gymnast appeared to address recent backlash toward husband Jonathan Owens after the Green Bay Packers safety revealed how they met and how he initially had no idea of Biles’ occupation nor her success.
During a recent appearance on the podcast The Pivot, Owens also told co-host Ryan Clark, “I always say the men are the catch, man. I always say we the catch.”
After taking some heat for what he said regarding their three-year relationship, Biles shared a meme to X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday of a child scratching their head, captioning the post, “Are y’all done yet?”
Biles and Owens were married in April after meeting in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic on the highly exclusive dating app Raya. However, Owens said it was Biles who actually had to bring her “A” game to the table.
When Owens was asked, “How in the hell did you pull Simone Biles?” the NFL player responded: “It’s really how she pulled me, man, that’s the question.”
“So literally, had been on [Raya] for a couple of days, man, and she pops up, and I’m like, ‘Let me see who this is.’ I had never really paid attention to gymnastics, so it piqued my curiosity,” Owens explained on The Pivot.
“When she won the Olympics I was in college, and we didn’t have NBC,” Owens explained. “We didn’t have an Olympic channels, and we’re in camp. So I’m not paying attention to you know, so I never would have had a moment to where I would have watched.”
Owens played it cool after they matched, working out before returning to see there was an update on his phone — on a completely different app.
“I come back and I have some likes on my Instagram — and then I still waited,” he said. “Then she messaged me on the app: ‘hey’.
“Man, this gotta be fake,” Owens remembered thinking. “I didn’t know who she was at the time. But like, the first thing that I saw was that she just had a bunch of followers.”
