For the last few weeks, things have gone south for Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens after his confession about his initial days of dating Simone Biles. However, at the onset of the Green Bay Packers’ storming into the season finale on Sunday, January 7, the remembrance of the team’s safety looked more glittery. The December 19 premiered, ‘The Pivot’ podcast highlighted several nooks and crannies of Jonathan Owens’ personal life and his humble beginnings.

Meanwhile, the Podcast was fairly engaged with NFL hobnobs like Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder. All they wanted to know was the gradual transformation of the shoulders Green Bay Packers rely on. Jonathan Owens catered to them nicely.

In the Pivot Podcast, Ryan ‘RC’ Clark, the former safety in Washington Commanders couldn’t hold his curiosity from the Green Bay Packers’ safety’s phantasmagoria. He threw his quest veiling in the shade of ‘starting in St. Louis and ending in Missouri Western’ wordings. Following this, Owens began reminiscing to reveal the truth. However, the extraordinary part came when he conceded: “I was trying to get a scholarship, man because I knew my mom wasn’t going to be able to afford college so they gave me a full scholarship and I had Pell grants so I was able to get a little refund check.” That left the RC and his ilks in the room stunned.

The 28-year-old safety closed the chapter with RC’s question with an affirmative, “That was all I needed at the time you know so that was that’s how that happened”.

The quagmire settling with Jonathan Owens
In the same interview, Jonathan Owens acknowledged that his ‘flappings’ were awkward since his growing up days. The reason was simple as previously Owens divulged his childhood kenspeckle. “I was a late bloomer athletically. In high school, I was a good player on the team but I hadn’t I wasn’t like totally sure of myself yet” was his version. So the journey from that not-so-obvious childhood to get a scholarship in college was nothing short of a magic run, which has been quite the case in his Green Bay Packers’ stint.

So the ethereal sangfroid culminated in Jonathan Owens is from his mother and his humble beginnings . That part was also visible in the same vicinity that claimed uproar in the last weeks.

Even couples with the strongest relationships and marriages have their disagreements. Don’t believe us? Just ask Simone Biles. The decorated Olympian opened up about the one subject she and her football star husband Jonathan Owens can’t seem to agree on — and, honestly, it makes a lot of sense.

During her appearance on Peacock’s Back That Year Up hosted by Kevin Hart and Keenan Thompson, Biles opened up about the disagreement she and Owens simply can’t resolve. “Who do you think is the better athlete in the house?” Thompson asked Biles. Biles was incredibly tactful with her response.

“I think we’re good at our own sports,” she said at first. “We’ve tried to pin each other against [one another] on, like, difficulty, ability and all that stuff. So, at the end of the day, gymnastics is harder, if he agrees or not.” Since Biles didn’t offer the clearest answer (though we could definitely pick up that she feels she’s the better athlete) Thompson stepped in to offer his two cents.

 

“Here’s the truth,” Thompson said. “I know your name, you know what I’m saying? That’s all I’m going to say. I know your name.” Thompson said what he said, and he should say it! Biles, who married the Green Bay Packers player in April 2023 after nearly three years together, also shared this debate has been an ongoing part of their relationship.

“We fought over it a couple of times, and then we vowed once we got married, we wouldn’t talk about it again,” the seven-time Olympic medalist said. “But it keeps coming up every time, but he has done my workout in the gym and he could barely do it, and then I went to their NFL workout and I crushed it.” Well, we think that settles that.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have a lot to celebrate this holiday season.

The 26-year-old Olympic gold medalist and 28-year-old NFL player celebrated their first Christmas together since tying the knot earlier this year.

Their happy celebration comes after Owens found himself in hot water for saying that he didn’t know who Biles was when they first met and considers himself the “catch” in their relationship.

Both Biles and Owens laughed off the backlash. “Unbothered 😂❤️,” he wrote on Friday, alongside a series of sweet photographs of he and his wife. “Just know we locked in over here 🤞🏽.”

“🤞🏾💋 for life,” Biles commented, sharing a screengrab of the remark on her Instagram Story.

“Are y’all done yet?” she teased on X Saturday night.

Biles and Owens got legally married at a courthouse in April, just one month before tying the knot again in an elaborate ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Since then, the two have remained long distanced as Owens signed with the Packers in May, after previously playing for their hometown Houston Texans.

Just before the holiday, Biles told PEOPLE she knows the season can be “hectic” with so much going on, “but this is a reminder to slow down, be present and really take in this special time of year.”

“Our lives can get so busy, so I plan on prioritizing self compassion and daily well-being by getting great sleep, resting when I need to, and surrounding myself with people that lift me up — family, friends, and of course, my dogs!” she shared.

Looking back on her exciting year, including winning the gold medal in the women’s all-around final at the World Championships in October, and on the heels of a two-year break from the international side of the sport, Biles told PEOPLE she’s proud of her accomplishments this year.

“It honestly feels amazing to return to competition, I never thought I would compete again so this is a blessing,” Biles said. “My favorite moment has been competing alongside my WCC teammates.”

Throughout their long-distance relationship, Biles has attended several of Owens’ games. She shared in an interview on the Today show in October that she enjoys watching her new husband from the sidelines.

“It’s been really fun supporting what he loves to do,” she added. “Obviously, he’s in Green Bay right now so my season just ended. I’m super excited to get out there to Green Bay for the holidays to support him.”

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.”

Biles also joined the narrative, sharing cozy snapshots of herself and Owens, showcasing that the playful banter between the two athletes hasn’t affected their affectionate moments.

The ongoing friendly rivalry adds a touch of humor to the power couple’s dynamic, proving that even world-class athletes can engage in spirited competitions closer to home.

Thanksgiving Day is a time to and celebrate friends and family — but in the NFL, some players have to go to work on a day typically reserved for rest, relaxation, and togetherness.

This was the case for Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens, who had to play Thursday at Ford Field in Detroit against the Lions. And Owens certainly made the most of the Thanksgiving Day showcase, returning a fumble in the first quarter for his first touchdown in pro football — which received quite the reaction from his wife, globally-recognized gymnast Simone Biles.

Biles was overjoyed
Biles, one of the greatest athletes on planet Earth, posted on X (formerly Twitter) almost immediately after Owens scooped up a loose ball and returned it 27 yards to extend the Packers’ first-quarter lead.

Biles’ celebratory post, typed in all caps, celebrated “her man” making the most of the moment and reaching the end zone for the first time in his five-year career.

Biles and Owens were married in April after nearly three years of dating. Biles has enjoyed a sensational 2023 professionally as well as personally — she won her sixth gold medal at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Belgium last month.

Packers lit up Lions in first half
Owens’ Packers made it look easy in the first half of the Thanksgiving game. The Green Bay defense made life uncomfortable for Lions quarterback Jared Goff, who fumbled twice and struggled with his accuracy. The Packers led 23-6 at the break, with Owens’ fumble recovery one of two turnovers the visitors forced in the first two quarters.

The Packers’ execution on offense may have been the most surprising facet to the first half, but Owens’ touchdown will prove to be a memorable moment — and one that Biles, at least, will celebrate long past Thanksgiving’s end.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens recently put their love on display at one of the NFL star’s football games over the weekend.

The most decorated gymnast in history attended her husband’s sporting event on Sunday night, Nov. 19, cheering him on from the sidelines, in true doting wife fashion.

In captures from the evening, the newlywed couple—who tied the knot in April—can be seen sharing a kiss, as the Green Bay Packers safety leaned down to embrace his wife, showing no shortage of PDA.

The pro athlete donned his team uniform, obviously, while Biles, for her part, looked cozy in a black puffer jacket featuring green embroidering of her hubby’s number, “34,” along with matching sunglasses.

Nearby onlooking fans at the Packers’ face-off against the Los Angeles Chargers at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin can be seen decked out in their own festive ‘fits for the game, displaying massive team spirit, as one even aimed his phone camera toward the couple to capture the sweet moment for himself.

Biles often shows up at games when her own schedule allows, and even recently responded to Hoda Kotb’s suggestion that it would be “really cute” if she and Taylor Swift could meet up for a photo-op in the future—given the pop star is now dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce.

As for her personal life, the seven-time Olympic gold medalist has shared glimpses of her and Owens’ journey together—from their beautiful destination wedding in Mexico in May, to the process of having a new home built.
