‘Very Unsettling’: Simone Biles’ Husband Jonathan Owens Slammed for ‘Being Problematic’ after Her Olympic Win
Simone Biles has officially become the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history, with her husband, Jonathan Owens, proudly cheering her on every step of the way.
Her latest triumph at the 2024 Paris Olympics is a testament to her unwavering dedication and passion for the sport. Owens, an NFL player, played a crucial role in her support system.
“Witnessing history every time you step on the mat 😍🔥.” Owens continued to shower praise on his superstar wife, writing, “Congrats baby on becoming the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history!!!! Just wow!!!! 8 of them!!!!! So thankful I was there to see it.”
Biles responded with heartfelt gratitude, “Means the world you’re here” and added, “My whole heart. I love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️.” However, the couple’s celebration didn’t go unnoticed by netizens, who had mixed reactions.
“I feel a lot more free, especially going to therapy and doing those sessions so that physically and mentally I feel better, and I know that’s an important part of my routine. So just staying on top of that, it lightens the load a lot,” she said.
Kotb asked about a tattoo on Biles’ shoulder that reads “And still I rise,” the title of a poem by the late author Maya Angelou. She wondered if the tattoo served as a mantra after the Tokyo Olympics.
Biles shared, “I wanted it to be a reminder, something that I can see in the mirror every single day, whenever I get dressed and stuff like that, so it’s been sticking and I kinda like it.”
The acclaimed gymnast emphasized that staying true to herself and being relatable to others is what matters most to her. Reflecting on her mental health journey, she highlighted how therapy has helped her confront her “demons.”
In the past, Biles used to push her trauma down. She said, “Now I’ve learned to speak on it and kind of release that. So that’s really helped me, and that’s why I’m doing what I’m doing today.”
She emphasized the importance of therapy. “I think we used to think of therapy as a weakness, and now I think of it as a strength. And if there’s somebody that can help me deal with what I’m going through, then that’s what I need to do. And now it’s a daily part of my routine,” she explained.
Beyond her focus on therapy, Biles has also reached significant personal milestones. Besides being happily married to Owens, she is also a homeowner, marking another chapter of fulfillment in her life.
