Owens made this known while revealing how he and Simone Biles met.
“I’m like, ‘Lemme see who this is.’ I never really paid attention to gymnastics,” Owens said, recalling when Biles popped up on Raya back in 2020. “So it piqued my curiosity.”
“When she won the Olympics, I was in college, and we didn’t have NBC, we didn’t have Olympics channels, and we were in [training] camp in late July, early August,” he said. “So I’m not paying attention. I never had a moment where I would have watched [her perform].”
According to Owens, he didn’t know her when she first met him.
“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. So in my mind I’m like, ‘OK, she’s got to be good.'”
“She messaged me Tuesday, and then we were texting back and forth, and then we hung out Friday,” Owens recalled. “We couldn’t do much, because COVID happened and everything was shut down. So she came down to Houston. She lived in the suburbs, so she had to come about 45 minutes to me. Then the rest is history.”
On if he considers himself as the ‘catch’ in the relationship, this is what Jonathan Owens said;
“I always say that the men are the catch,” said Owens — while sitting next to his wife, the single most highly decorated gymnast in the history of the world, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom”.
“So she really booked you,” Clark asked, continuing to rib Owens.
“She did, though! Because I was fighting it,” he added. “I was afraid to commit… but you know, it happens when you least expect it.”
Owens also touched on when he realized Simone Biles is a famous person.
“It was all these moms and they’re there with their kids and we walked past and everybody stopped and just [stared],” Owens recalled. “Kids were just shaking, like, ‘Oh, my God.'”
Jonathan Owens and Simone Biles got married in a private city hall ceremony in Texas in April, and then tied the knot for a second time in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in May 2023.
All the best to the couple!
