The
Green
Bay
Packers
safety
appeared
as
the
latest
guest
on
the
popular

The

The

questioned
him
about
a
lot
of
topics,
especially
his
famous
love
story.

Considering
that
he’s
married
to
one
of
the
most
decorated
athletes
of
all
time,
AKA
the
GOAT
gymnastics,
co-host
Channing
Crowder,
asked
the
question
we
all
want
to
know!
“How
in
the
hell
did
you
pull
Simone
Biles?”
His
answer,
however,
sent
social
media
up
in
a
frenzy!
He
replied,
saying,
“It’s
really
how
she
pulled
me.”
He
emphasized
that
he
“didn’t
know
who
she
was”
when
they
first
connected,
noting
he
“never
really
paid
attention”
to
gymnastics.
Jonathan
went
on
to
say
that,
eventually,
he
caught
wind
of
who
she
was
as
an
Olympic
gold
medalist.
“The
first
thing
that
I
saw
was
that
she
just
had
a
bunch
of
[Instagram]
followers,”
he
said.
“So
in
my
mind
I’m
like,
‘Okay,
she’s
gotta
be
good.’”
The
two
connected
during
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
so
dating
looked
a
bit
different
for
them.
“She
came
down
to
Houston,”
Jonathan,
who
played
for
the
Texans
at
the
time,
recalled.
“She
lived
in
the
suburbs,
so
she
had
to
drive
about
45
minutes.
Then
the
rest
is
history.”
Co-host
Ryan
Clark
followed
up
by
asking
if
Owens
thought
he
was
the
catch.
Owens
replied,
“I
always
say
that
the
men
are
the
catch.”
“I
was
fighting
it,”
he
continued.
“I
was
afraid
to
commit.
But
it
happened
when
I
least
expected
it,
and
we
hung
out,
and
we
hit
it
off
instantly.”

Claims
That
He
Was

Catch”

Owens’
iconic
wife
Simone
sat
by
his
side
during
the
interview.
Clips
showed
her
smiling
from
ear
to
ear
nonstop
as
her
husband
played
back
the
events
of
their
early
dating
history.
However,
fans
on
the
web
weren’t
all
smiles
and
giggles
when
they
heard
Jonathan’s
comments.
Many
took
to
the
comment
section
saying,
“GIRL
GET
UP!!!!
don’t
let
him
disrespect
u
like
that”
Another
user
wrote,
“This
is
really
odd
that
you
would
degrade
your
wife
like
this
on
a
public
platform.
You
will
forever
be
known
as
Simone
[Biles’]
husband.
You’re
not
the
catch
lmao.”
Not
everyone
found
Owen’s
comments
distasteful.
Some
users
chimed
in
with
their
opinions,
saying,
“So
y’all
are
telling
Simone
Biles
to
divorce
her
husband
Jonathan
Owens
b/c
y’all
didn’t
like
what
he
said
on
a
podcast
(The
Pivot)
about
who
is
the
catch
and
if
he
knew
who
she
was
when
they
met?
It
doesn’t
seem
to
bother
Simone
Biles.
That’s
their
happily
married
business.”
“Simone
Biles
does
not
feel
the
need
to
compete
with
her
husband’s
ego.
Instead,
she
strokes
it
and
lets
him
have
his
moment.
It’s
okay
to
let
him
think
that
he’s
the
catch
too!”
As
for
the
lovebirds,
they
seem
pretty
unbothered
by
the
backlash.
Owens
took
to
Instagram,
captioning
a
photo
of
him
and
Biles
with
“Unbothered
…
just
know
we
locked
in
over
here”
as
the
caption.
His
wife
on
the
other
hand
went
even
shorter
with
one
word
in
a
fun
photo
from
their
wedding:
“Mood.”
