Simone Biles has recently opened up about her feelings regarding her husband, Jonathan Owens’ viral video of him saying that he was “the catch” within their relationship that led to a lot of backlash for the couple.
Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, she shared that it had “nothing to do with her.”
“First of all, that interview had nothing to do with me,” Biles said. “It was all for him. So I think they were mad that he didn’t include me in the interview, but he has to have his moments too, and I let him have it.”
She also says that his comments were taken out of context. “He never said I wasn’t a catch. He said he was a catch because he is. I’ve never met a man like him. A lot of people that meet him are like, oh my gosh. I want a man like that, like Jonathan.”
Initially she shares that she thought it was quite funny. “I thought it was hilarious what people were saying divorce him, divorce him. All of this crazy stuff, and, like, he doesn’t even like to say divorce. So I thought it was hilarious at first, and then they hurt my feelings.”
Then she shared how the negative comments got to her saying, “Then, like, one night, I broke down, and I’m like, ‘Why are you guys talking about my husband like this?’ That really hurt that they were talking about my husband like that. Because for me, it’s like talk about me all you want, but don’t come for my family.”
Overall, the two have moved on from the situation and she shared that she “met a man like him” and how he “still opens her doors.”
