In 2023, Jonathan Owens caused controversy after sharing his thoughts on their relationship in an episode of The Pivot Podcast. He labeled himself the “catch” in his relationship with Simone Biles. His comments were misconstrued, and he received significant backlash. However, during Biles' appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, she expressed her support while clearing the air around the topic. She shared via People Magazine:

“He never said I wasn't a catch. 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.”

She continued,

“I thought it was hilarious what people were saying divorce him, divorce him. All of this crazy stuff. And, like, he doesn't even like to say divorce. So I thought it was hilarious at first, and then they hurt my feelings.”

The legendary artistic gymnast has received numerous accolades throughout her prestigious career. In 2022, she was honored with the highest civilian award of the United States, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
