“First of all, that interview had nothing to do with me,” Biles said of her husband’s conversation with “The Pivot” podcast, sharing that she believes people were upset Owens didn’t include her in the interview. “But he has to have his moments too, and I let him have it.” “He never said I wasn’t a catch,” Biles continued. “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.” The Olympian said she “thought it was hilarious what people were saying — ‘Divorce him, divorce him,’” but then it started to hurt her feelings, and she “broke down” one night. “That really hurt that they were talking about my husband like that,” Biles admitted, People reported. “Because for me, it’s like talk about me all you want, but don’t come for my family.”Listen: On social media, we often have fun with celebrity gossip, especially when there’s a juicy story out there like one about a man who doesn’t want to give his famous and beloved wife her flowers because of his own insecurities. But it’s very possible that this story wasn’t that and a lot of people were out here projecting on Owens and Biles over what was actually a pretty innocuous interview. Just saying, folks can be too quick sometimes, and in Biles’ case, maybe some of her protective fans did more harm than good. See how social media is reacting to Biles finally addressing the comment below.
