“My wife is a warrior,” Jonathan Owens said when asked about his wife Simone Biles at a press conference after the Paris Olympics. Anyone who watched the event will be familiar with Simone’s four-medal haul in her return to Tokyo. But NFL star Jonathan Owens supported her every step of the campaign.
Simone was often seen taking notes on a pad in the stands during competitions, a tradition that was started by Simone’s parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles, who recorded scores during competitions. It was a tradition. Fans praised Jonathan for his move and thanked him for the support he gave his wife during such a high-stakes event. It now appears that this encouragement and note-taking may have sparked his own interest in gymnastics.
At the latest show rehearsal for the upcoming Gold Over America Tour, something unique caught the audience’s attention. Simone Biles spotted her husband Jonathan Owens trying to do a somersault on the mat. To my delight, he successfully completed the move and celebrated enthusiastically. Although his technique wasn’t as smooth (he forgot to tuck his chin to protect his neck), he still managed to pull off the challenging feat.

The stunt may add a new chapter to the couple’s ongoing debate: Which sport is more demanding, gymnastics or soccer? As Simone Biles previously discussed, this playful rivalry seems to be a frequent topic of conversation in their household. She was also asked about it during an appearance on the podcast Back That Year Up, where host Kenan Thompson asked her who she thought was the better athlete among them. I threw it.
She said they both excelled in their respective sports and chose the path of diplomacy. However, when asked if they discussed which sport is more difficult, Simone gave a more specific answer. “We tried to compete against each other in terms of difficulty, ability and everything else. I mean, whether he agrees or not, gymnastics is harder at the end of the day.” She added: also said that the couple had gotten into playful fights over the matter.
But Simone went on to provide evidence that gymnastics is better than soccer. “He trained me in the gym, and he could barely do it. Then I went to NFL training and did it perfectly,” she said. So it’s clear which sport is harder for Simone Biles. However, this conversation is an example of how hilarious their relationship is. That’s a sign of their healthy marriage.
