Owens, who experienced a lot of criticism after claiming he had no idea who his wife was when they met, was again the subject of fans’ ire after he posted a photo of himself wearing her medal to Instagram.

“There’s something very unsettling about you wearing her medal. Seems off. Give it back to her immediately 🥇,” another said.
“um take off her medal,” someone demanded.
“But why are you wearing it? How odd,” someone else asked.
“That’s Simone’s gold medal you’re holding, not yours my guy. 😂😂,” another pointed out.
Fans Aren’t Going To Let Jonathan Owens Rest
As mentioned above, Owens admitted not knowing who his wife was when they met on celebrity dating app, Raya. The interview from last year went viral, earning him no shortage of flak.
“I didn’t who she was at the time,” he said. “But the first thing that I saw was that she just had a bunch of followers so in my mind, I’m like, OK she got to be good.
“So literally, had been on the app for a couple of days, man, and it’s like she pops up and I’m like, ‘Let me see who this is’ … I had never really paid attention to gymnastics, so it piqued my curiosity,”
Biles, who was right there, confirmed as much. But it did not stop social media from going after her husband.
It appears their anger hasn’t cooled.
