"I love my baby" - Simone Biles' husband Jonathan Owens reacts to gymnast defending him amid criticism

Jonathan Owens expressed his love for Simone Biles after the gymnast defended her husband amid the criticism he is facing for his statements on the couple's relationship.

In a recent conversation on the Pivot Podcast, hosted by three former NFL players- Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder, Owens confessed his lack of knowledge about America's favorite gymnast and her accolades before they started dating.

Further, the Green Bay Packers' strong safety stated that the couple entered into a relationship when he least expected it and Biles was the one who made the first move. At that time, he said he was hesitant to commit to the relationship. Following his statements saying he did not know about Biles he faced a backlash from the fans.

However, Biles decided to take a stand and defend her husband. She took to X and shared a meme of a child scratching her head in confusion and wrote,

"Are y'all done yet?"

Owens reshared the post on his account expressing love and appreciation for her support by writing,

"I love my baby man."

During the interview, Owens confessed his lack of knowledge about Biles' achievements as he lacked access to the Olympic Channel, citing his commitment to the training camp and the busy schedule in his third year.
