After Simone Biles opened up about how upset she was with how her fans were treating her husband, her fans are now praising Jonathan Owens. Over the weekend, Biles competed at the U.S. Championships, taking home her 9th all-around gold medal, making her the first to ever reach such a feat.
During her floor routine, NBC Sports captured her family’s reaction to her performance and all eyes were on her husband, NFL star Jonathan Owens. WATCH:
Back in May, Biles issued a warning to her fans who have continued to talk ill about Owens after he said in a past interview that he didn’t know who Biles was before they met.
“I’m going to quickly address this, the joke was never a joke! Y’all are blatantly being disrespectful to my relationship & my husband,” Biles wrote. “So I’m gonna go ahead and say this one time. Respectfully, **** off.” Biles then warned her fans that “if you keep commenting or tweeting at me I’m just going to block you. simple as that. And no I don’t need to touch grass or whatever tf y’all suggest.” Now, fans are changing their tune and praising Owens for how supportive he’s been as Biles works toward her third Olympic games.

“Watching her husband watch her makes me so happy,” one commenter wrote. “He’s so tuned in and excited. I love it!” “Love that her and Jonathan support each other so much,” another added.
“Hubby is totally locked into every movement she is making…he almost looked like he was counting,” a commenter noticed. “He’s totally in sync with his wife.” “The way her husband was counting her steps was everything. You can tell he knows the routine and he’s just as focused as she is!” Biles and Owens got married in April 2023.

While the Olympic gymnast became a legend under the moniker Simone Biles, she surprised fans more than a year ago when she revealed she is now officially Simone Owens! On April 22, 2023, the gymnast took to Instagram to share several gorgeous photos of her and Jonathan Owen’s private nuptials.
The happy couple joined the growing trend of celebrating their love with a small intimate ceremony.
