Simone Biles may be the most prominent gymnast in the world, but her husband says he was the real catch when they met on a dating app.
Simone Biles is an Olympic gold medalist — the most decorated ever in her sport — but even she needed some help landing the man of her dreams. Before she met her future husband, Greenbay Packers safety Jonathan Owens, Biles joined a dating app hoping to meet “Mr. Right.”
So did Jonathan Owens.
The pair eventually matched with each other’s profiles, and a short time later, Biles messaged Owens to connect in person. The pair hit it off and have been inseparable ever since.
However, when the newlyweds recently sat down with Ryan Clark’s The Pivot podcast, they shared one shocking detail about their dating history: Not only Owens was nearly oblivious to who Biles was and how ridiculous her gymnastics resumé had become, but he says Biles pursued him.
Biles was not in alignment with his version of the story and quickly clarified what happened while chuckling and smiling away.
