Simone Biles<\/strong><\/a>\u2019 husband, Jonathan Owens<\/strong><\/a>, was taken down a peg after fans of the Olympic gymnast slammed her man for wearing her gold medal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWitnessing history every time you step on the mat,\u201d Jonathan, 29, captioned<\/a> a series of photos on Tuesday, July 30, adding a flame and heart eye emoji. \u201cCongrats baby on becoming the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history!!!! Just wow!!!! 8 of them!!!!! So thankful I was there to see it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Fans were quick to flood his comments section with harsh words aimed at the Chicago Bears player<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cGive the medal back bby thats not yours,\u201d one fan wrote. \u201cThere\u2019s something very unsettling about you wearing her medal. Seems off. Give it back to her immediately,\u201d another commented. \u201cWhy he holding it like he won it,\u201d another chimed in, while yet another follower added, \u201cThat\u2019s Simone\u2019s gold medal you\u2019re holding, not yours my guy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n While fans of the G.O.A.T. seemingly came to her defense, Simone, 27, gushed over her husband in the comments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMy whole heart. i love you,\u201d she wrote with four red heart emoji. \u201cMeans the world you\u2019re here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Jonathan and Simone began dating<\/a> after meeting on Raya in March 2020 and their relationship progressed quickly with the help of the pandemic shutdown.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe ended up hanging out right before the pandemic. It was one of the few times in her life where everything was just shut off and she couldn\u2019t do anything,\u201d he told Texas Monthly<\/em> in 2021. \u201cSo, we used it to get to know each other \u2014 really get to know each other. It created our bond and made it stronger. Now I\u2019m so thankful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He popped the question<\/a> in February 2022, which Simone called, \u201cthe easiest yes.\u201d The happy couple<\/a> tied the knot at the Houston courthouse in April 2023 before a stunning destination wedding in Mexico shortly after.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Jonathan came under fire after a December 2023 interview on \u201cThe Pivot\u201d went viral where he was heard referring to himself as \u201cthe catch\u201d in the relationship<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s really how she pulled me, man. That\u2019s the question,\u201d he unabashedly said. \u201c[I] had been on the app for a couple days and then she pops up. I\u2019m like, \u2018Lemme see who this is.\u2019 I never really paid attention to gymnastics, so it piqued my curiosity [and I was like], \u2018I\u2019ll see what\u2019s up.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He continued, \u201cI didn\u2019t know who she was at the time, but the first thing that I saw was that she just had a bunch of [Instagram] followers. \u2026 I always say that the men are the catch. She did [pull me], though, because I was fighting it. \u2026 At the time, I was afraid to commit. I was like, \u2018This is my third year [in the NFL], I\u2019m trying \u2026 it\u2019s kind of early, but, you know, it happens when you least expect it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
