In an interview on "The Pivot Podcast," Green Bay Packers player Jonathan Owens shared insights into the early days of his relationship with Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history. Host Channing Crowder, curious about the union, jokingly asked Owens, "How in the hell did you pull Simone Biles?"
Owens, recounting their initial interaction on the dating app Raya in 2020, claimed he had no idea who Biles was at the time. He explained that he was in college during the 2016 Summer Olympics, where Biles made history, and he didn't have access to watch the events. Owens only realized Biles' fame when he noticed her substantial online following.
The revelation sparked skepticism and mockery online, with some finding it hard to believe that an athlete like Owens remained unaware of Biles' mega-fame.
Despite the backlash, Owens responded on Instagram, sharing a photo of the couple and stating, "Unbothered Just know we locked in over here."
The comments stirred discussions about the dynamics of fame, relationships, and the challenges of public perception.
