The subject remains unsettled in the Owens-Biles household.

In the ongoing battle of household athleticism, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are locked in a good-natured tussle over who reigns supreme in the sports arena. The Olympic gymnast, 26, spilled the beans during a lighthearted interview on Peacock’s “2023 Back That Year Up” with hosts Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson.

“We’ve tried to pin each other against each other on difficulty, ability, and all that stuff. So, at the end of the day, gymnastics is harder – if he agrees or not, “Biles shared, sparking laughter from the hosts and the audience.

Kenan Thompson, ever the witty commentator, noted that Biles gave a “nice politician answer.” He playfully hinted at her being the superior athlete, confessing that he only knows her name, not her husband’s.

It is an ongoing debate among the couple
Undeterred, Kevin Hart jumped in with a suggestion, encouraging Biles to use their show as a platform to “clear up” the ongoing household debate once and for all.

Biles admitted that the athletic dispute has surfaced multiple times in their relationship but swore that they vowed not to talk about it after getting married.

“It keeps coming up every time. He has done my workout in the gym, and he could barely do it. Then I went to their NFL workout, and I crushed it,” Biles declared, light-heartedly asserting her dominance.

Jonathan stirred up the social media hornet’s nest
While it’s unclear when the interview took place, the gymnastics powerhouse recently made headlines with Owens after he sparked controversy by calling himself the “catch” in their relationship.

Despite the online chatter, the couple seemed unfazed, with the Green Bay Packers safety posting wedding day photos on Instagram with the caption “Unbothered. Just know we locked in over here.”
