Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are a match made in heaven. However, recently, their paradise was rocked when Jonathan Owens appeared on the Pivot Podcast and made some statements that did not sit well with many of Biles’ fans. Sharing how it was his wife, the gymnastics queen, who pursued him first, he said, “I always say that the men are the catch.”

And now, weeks after the controversy was almost settling down, Jonathan Owens has called out his wife for not sharing the whole truth about making the first move. And that’s not all. In a candid confession, the couple also opened up about how their love blossomed in a quarantine meet-cute.

Jonathan Owens calls out Simone Biles for not admitting her first move

In an interview with Vanity Fair, seven-time Olympian Simone Biles opened up candidly, sharing rare details about her career, life, and relationship. One moment stood out when the interviewer asked the couple about their initial dating days. Simone revealed that she had initially matched with Owens on the dating app Raya when she swiped right for him, implying that he had already shown interest in her by swiping first.

Even on the Pivot Podcast, she argued, saying, “We matched. I was just the first to message. As soon as I clicked (his profile) “Oh, I like him, it matched, so he had already liked my profile.” But for the Green Bay Packers, the narrative was explained differently. Interviewed by Vanity Fair for the same question Owens shared in a telephonic conversation about the meet-cute. He explained and shared, “She doesn’t like to admit it, but she messaged me first.” Despite the continued playful banter between the couple about who liked whom first, the spotlight also shone on their pandemic love story.
