Jonathan Owens Says He Didn’t Know Who Simone Biles Was When They Matched on Dating App

In case anyone forgot, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens reminded sports fans that power couples are people too during a recent appearance on Ryan Clark’s The Pivot podcast.

Owens’s guest spot turned into an episode of The Newlywed Game after the Packers safety recalled the story of how his relationship with the gymnastics legend, who was seated just off-screen, began. Owens first leveled the room by sharing that Biles actually pursued him on a dating app they matched on before shocking Clark and Co. with another bombshell—that he, somehow, didn’t who Biles was when they matched.

“I didn’t who she was at the time,” Owens said. “But the first thing that I saw was that she just had a bunch of followers so in my mind, I’m like, OK she got to be good. I promise you. Real life story.”
