The negative comments surrounding the Chicago Bears safety came after he did an interview on The Pivot podcast in December calling himself “the catch” in their relationship.
“I always say that the men are the catch,” he said, adding that he “was fighting” against his natural feeling of being “afraid to commit” before he and Biles officially started dating.
Biles opened up about the criticism her husband faced during her April 16 appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Admitting that the discourse around her relationship brought her to tears, Biles said, “First of all, that interview had nothing to do with me.”
“He never said I wasn’t a catch,” the Olympian clarified. “He said he was a catch because he is. I’ve never met a man like him. A lot of people that meet him are like, oh my gosh. I want a man like that, like Jonathan.”

“I thought it was hilarious what people were saying divorce him, divorce him. All of this crazy stuff,” she continued, adding, “And, like, he doesn’t even like to say divorce. So I thought it was hilarious at first, and then they hurt my feelings.”
“Then, like, one night, I broke down, and I’m like, ‘Why are you guys talking about my husband like this?'” Biles admitted, calling her husband “the sweetest guy who will do anything for anybody” in the interview.
“That really hurt that they were talking about my husband like that. Because for me, it’s like talk about me all you want, but don’t come for my family,” she insisted.
Biles and Owens tied the knot on April 22, 2023 at the Harris County Courthouse in Houston, before hosting a second wedding celebration in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with family and friends. They met on dating app Raya in 2020.
