Incredible: Just In Simone Biles breaks silence on criticism of husband Jonathan Owens for wearing her Olympic gold medal….Read More.

Simone Biles has fired back at Jonathan Owens’ critics after the USA gymnast’s husband was slammed by fans for wearing her Olympic gold medal this week. Biles helped USA land its first gymnastics gold of the Paris Games on Tuesday when she and teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey saw off Italy and Brazil in the teams final.

Following her first triumph in Paris, fans were left fuming on social media when Owens – Biles’ husband of the last two years – was seen proudly wearing her medal on Tuesday night. In a post celebrating his wife, the NFL player posed next to her with the gold around his neck and wrote: ‘Witnessing history every time you step on the mat – 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’.

Several users blasted Owens for his ‘odd’ behavior on the night, while content creator Kiera Breaugh even told him to ‘take it off’ in a video which racked up 2.5 million views on TikTok.

However, Biles took to the comments section to hit out at Breaugh and other users for criticizing her husband, branding them ‘so f****ng miserable’. ‘Crazy thing is, I put my medal on every single one of my family members and took pictures,’ she wrote. ‘So don’t ever make assumptions.’

Biles then added: ‘Like y’all are so f****ng miserable. leave us alone’. Owens is out in Paris with Biles this summer after being granted time off from practice with the Bears to watch Biles in action. She showed her appreciation for him by commenting on his photo of them together: ‘means the world you’re here’. But despite his heartwarming words, Owens was blasted by fans online for wearing the medal.

One wrote: ‘You do realize that is not your medal… right?’

Another put: ‘But why are you wearing it? How odd.’

‘I knew he was gone wear her medal like he won it,’ said a third user.

A fourth commented: ‘That’s Simone’s gold medal you’re holding, not yours my guy.’

While one simply told him: ‘give the medal back bby thats not yours’.

Owens not only received criticism for his medal-wearing antics, however.

Fans were also quick to reference an infamous 2023 interview in which he claimed to have not known who Biles was when they first met on a dating app.

Having insisted that he is the ‘catch’ in the relationship, Owens said about their initial encounter: ‘I didn’t know who she was at the time, but the first thing that I saw was that she just had a bunch of [Instagram] followers. So in my mind, I’m like, “OK, she’s got to be good.”‘ And the football player was reminded of those comments after donning his wife’s Olympic gold this week.

One user said: ‘but you didn’t know who she was right?’

Another wrote: ‘Do you know who she is now? Lmao’.

While a third posted: ‘Now he knows bout gymnastics’.
