Simone Biles Sparks Reactions after Revealing Her Thoughts on Having Kids with Husband Jonathan Owens

Simone Arianne Biles, widely recognized as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, has once again captured the public’s attention. After her stellar performance at the Paris Olympics 2024, Biles sat down with Hoda Kotb to share her thoughts on embracing a brand-new role in her personal life: motherhood.

In an exclusive interview from the Paris Olympics, Biles discussed her future plans with her husband, Jonathan Owens. “Me and Jonathan always talk about kids,” Biles revealed. “He would have them, like, yesterday if he could have.”

She elaborated, “Obviously we both have goals that we want to achieve before we start a family. But yes, that’s definitely in our future.” When Kotb asked if she sees herself as a mom, Biles confidently responded, “Yes, most definitely.”

The 27-year-old gymnast’s candid thoughts on parenthood have ignited a public debate online, sparking mixed views among fans and followers.

Many fans expressed their excitement and support for Biles’ thoughts on motherhood. One user wrote, “Awesome. Best wishes to you both.” Another fan enthusiastically predicted, “I predict within the year.”

Comments also highlighted the future potential of their children, with one user stating, “Those babies are going to have the cutest dimples!” Another added, “It’s easy to see her as a mom. When she’s ready, that’s just what she’ll be. It should be a great one.”

The idea of Biles and Owens as parents brought out the creativity in some fans. “I can see that as well and the little girls will be gymnasts and the boys football players. I can see their outfits in my head. They would make great parents,” a fan imagined.

Others simply offered their well-wishes. “Great mom and dad some time in the future,” noted one user. Meanwhile, another one remarked, “I’m so happy for Simone and Jonathan!”

Despite the overwhelming support, there were a few who expressed concerns and disapproval. “Please, God, no!!!” one user exclaimed, while another bluntly wrote, “Oh please no kids.”

Additionally, some users criticized the nature of the question posed to Biles. “Stop asking women when they are going to have kids!!!” a frustrated commenter noted, highlighting a broader societal issue.

In addition to discussing her thoughts on motherhood, Biles spoke with Hoda Kotb about her future in gymnastics. When asked if she’s considering competing at the next Summer Games in Los Angeles in 2028, Biles responded:

“You know, you never say never. The next Olympics is on home turf. So you just never know. I’m just going to relax and see where life takes me.”

Simone Biles seems to be enjoying a fulfilling professional and personal life, with her 29-year-old husband Jonathan Owens, whom she married in April 2023. Owens is an American football safety for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League.

On April 22, 2023, Biles shared a series of lovely pictures on social media, capturing the moment she said “I do” and officially became Mrs. Owens. The couple’s wedding photos beautifully illustrate their joy and love for each other.

In the first photo, Owens triumphantly raises his fist in the air while holding Biles’ hand as they step out of the courthouse, officially husband and wife. Biles is beaming in a tiered white dress, holding a bouquet of white flowers.

The second image captures a romantic moment where Owens dips Biles for a kiss in a grand marble hallway, showcasing the elegance of their wedding venue.

The third photo shows the couple walking hand in hand down a marble staircase, both smiling and looking lovingly at each other.

The fourth image features the couple holding hands and looking into each other’s eyes while standing before a judge who is officiating their marriage ceremony.

In the fifth picture, the newlyweds are seen from behind as they walk up the courthouse steps, with Biles’ beautiful dress trailing behind her.

The sixth and final photo captures a tender kiss on a rooftop, with the city skyline as a backdrop, symbolizing the beginning of their new journey together.

Biles, who has won three gold medals and one silver medal in the Paris Summer Games, also shared another post featuring Mr. and Mrs. Owens on May 9, 2023. The photos beautifully captured the essence of their destination wedding.

The sixth and final photo shows the couple performing the traditional “jumping the broom” ritual, symbolizing the start of their new life together.

Biles isn’t the only one who has been on the receiving end of criticism. Owens has also faced public scrutiny but continues to show his love and support for Biles. The NFL player was even criticized for sporting his wife’s gold medal, but he chose to ignore the naysayers.

The couple’s recent public displays of affection are a testament to their deep love. Viral photos capturing the Olympic champion and her husband in a heartfelt exchange have set social media abuzz.

In the images, Biles and Owens share a tender moment, with Owens seated in the stands while Biles stands proudly at her gymnastics spot after securing gold in the women’s all-around event. Their sweet gesture of forming a heart with their hands speaks volumes about their bond.

Fans have flooded social media with admiration for the couple. “I saw that moment… so heartfelt,” one fan gushed. Another remarked, “Find someone who loves you as much as Jonathan Owens loves Simone Biles.”

A third admirer commented, “Man skipping camp for his wife’s moment. Respect.” However, not everyone shares this sentiment. Some critics have grumbled about Owens’ absence from training, suggesting he’s wasting time in Paris instead of focusing on his games.

“Now get back to training camp with your teammates,” one critic demanded, adding, “He’s missing practice to go on a European vacation.” Another echoed similar frustrations, saying, “Simone Biles’ husband abandoned his teammates for this game.”

Jonathan Owens’ unwavering support for Biles has been on full display at the Paris 2024 Olympics. A recent clip revealed him intently following Biles’ performance, even jotting down scores with a pen and paper—clearly invested in her success.

While some may question his absence from NFL practice, Owens’ reasons are both admirable and personal. While most NFL players wouldn’t consider taking a long break during peak training camp, Owens made an exception to cheer on his wife, Biles, as she competed for the U.S. gymnastics team.

The support for Owens’ decision extends from the coaching staff to the management. His trip to Paris was part of a plan discussed when he signed a two-year contract with the Bears in March, following his season with Green Bay.

Owens explained that he and his agent had discussed his dedication to supporting his wife, noting that with the Olympics approaching and his wife’s prominence, it was a matter of respect.

He recounted that they approached the team with a request, expressing their appreciation for allowing him to be there for his wife, and the team responded positively to their request.

With Simone Biles’ latest triumph at the 2024 Paris Olympics, she has officially secured her place as the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history. Owens was over the moon about his wife’s stellar performance. He took to social media to celebrate her monumental win with a heartwarming tribute but it didn’t go well with critics.

Sharing a charming photo of the couple amid the vibrant Parisian streets, Owens couldn’t hide his pride. In the snapshot, he lovingly wears Biles’ gold medal around his neck as they bask in their shared joy.

His caption was pure adoration, “Witnessing history every time you step on the mat 😍🔥.” Owens continued to shower praise on his superstar wife, writing, “Congrats baby on becoming the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history!!!! Just wow!!!! 8 of them!!!!! So thankful I was there to see it.”

Biles responded with heartfelt gratitude, “Means the world you’re here” and added, “My whole heart. I love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️.” However, the couple’s celebration didn’t go unnoticed by netizens, who had mixed reactions.

Critics took to the comments, questioning Owens’ decision to wear Biles’ medal. One user remarked, “Why is he holding it like he won it?” Another chimed in, “Give the medal back bby, that’s not yours [sic].”

Some were particularly vocal, saying things like, “That’s Simone’s gold medal you’re holding, not yours, my guy. 😂😂” and “There’s something very unsettling about you wearing her medal. Seems off.” Meanwhile, another user, puzzled by the situation, asked, “Is he being problematic on purpose? Serious question.”

This isn’t the first time has Owens faced heat from fans. Back in December 2023, the NFL star landed in the spotlight for the wrong reasons after some controversial comments about his relationship with Biles during an appearance on “The Pivot” podcast.

When asked about how the two met, Owens revealed that despite Biles’ fame, he didn’t know who she was at the time. The pair had connected through the dating app Raya in 2020.

Things heated up when Owens was asked if he saw himself as “the catch” in their relationship. He cheekily responded, “I always say that the men are the catch.” Owens admitted he was initially hesitant to commit but eventually fell head over heels for Biles.

His comments sparked quite a backlash, with some fans taking issue with his remarks about the Olympic icon. Fast forward to April this year, Biles came to her husband’s defense during an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.

Addressing the viral moment, Biles revealed she was present during the interview, and when the camera zoomed in on her, she simply rolled her eyes and laughed.

She clarified that Owens never suggested she wasn’t a catch but was instead emphasizing his own worth. The Olympic icon even went as far as addressing critics on her X page. Biles praised her husband, stating that he adores her and that she’s never met anyone quite like him.

As for Owens, he brushed off the criticism with ease. He kept his social media notifications off and was unaware of the uproar until much later. When he did catch wind of it, he responded by posting a series of romantic photos with Biles and captioning them, “Unbothered 😂❤️ Just know we locked in over here 🤞🏽.”

Despite the mixed reactions, the love and support between Biles and Owens remain undeniable, showcasing a powerful partnership that continues to shine brightly.
