NFL fans did not appreciate what Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens had to say about his wife, Simone Biles, during a recent interview.
Jonathan and Simone tied the knot earlier this year and have been together for a total of three years. However, he made a surprising revelation during an interview on ‘The Pivot’ this week as he claimed that he did not know who Biles was before they began dating.
Asked how they met, Owens revealed they began speaking on a dating app but, although the star gymnast was already an Olympic gold medalist and was world famous, he had no idea who she was.
“I didn’t know who she was at the time. But like, the first thing that I saw was that she just had a bunch of followers. In my mind, I was like she’s got to be good,” he said. “When she won the Olympics I was in college and we didn’t have NBC. We didn’t have any Olympic channels and we’re in camp.”
Folks weren’t buying it on social media, while many of them blasted the NFL star.
Many fans simply couldn’t believe Owens’ story, and they responded negatively to his admission. Check some of the reactions out below:

One fan even resurrected tweets from 11 years ago showing Owens praising another gymnast in Gabby Douglas.
As it turns out, Simone’s said this before.
It’s not a small world after all…
