Fans of Simone Biles have continued to go after her husband, Jonathan Owens, following his controversial comments about their marriage last week. When Owens made a Christmas Day post on Instagram, the comments were flooded by his wife's fans simply calling him "Mr. Biles". Other comments on the post referred to Owens as "some guy" while some hoped that Biles had a pre-nup due to her success.
The backlash towards Owens stems from comments he made while appearing on The Pivot last week. Owens claimed he didn't know who Biles was when they first met and that he believes that "men are always the catch in a relationship". When the couple met on a dating app in March 2020, Owens was a practice squad player for the Texans who had never played an NFL game. Meanwhile, Biles was a five-time Olympic medalist.
