In a recent media whirlwind, NFL player Jonathan Owens found himself in hot water over comments he made about his wife, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, during an interview on “The Pivot” podcast last December. In the discussion, he acknowledged his lack of familiarity with Biles before they matched on a dating app, stating, “Lemme see who this is. I never really paid attention to gymnastics, so it piqued my curiosity.” These remarks fueled a firestorm of backlash online, as many fans of Biles viewed his comments as dismissive of her legendary status in the world of sports.
Despite the criticism, Biles has come to her husband’s defense. While appearing on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, she clarified, “He never said I wasn’t a catch. He said he was a catch because he is.” Nevertheless, the hurt feelings lingered among her supporters, who felt that Owens needed to do some serious damage control. Fast forward to a recent interview with NFL Network, where Owens flipped the narrative by expressing nothing but pride and admiration for his wife as she prepares for the upcoming 2024 Olympics.

A Shift in Mood: The Power of Body Language
Renowned body language and behavior expert Greg Hartley conducted an analysis of Owens’ demeanor during this latest interview, exclusively for Nicki Swift. Hartley observed a stark contrast in Owens’ mood when discussing his professional career compared to when he spoke about Biles. “Every time the conversation shifted from football to Simone, there was an evident change in his expression. He looked like a man smitten—and he was,” Hartley summarized.
Owens not only expressed enthusiasm for supporting Biles at the Olympics but also mentioned that their team was creating content centered around his travels to cheer her on. Hartley noted that even when discussing the promotional aspect, Owens radiated joy, a sentiment absent from his earlier football-focused remarks. “When it came to Biles, he smiled! There was genuine amusement on his face—an unmistakable signal that his heart is in it,” Hartley elaborated.

Balancing Professionalism and Personal Pride
Despite the scrutiny he faced after his ill-conceived comments, Owens appears to have turned a corner. Hartley emphasized the importance of authenticity in public appearances, contrasting the often contrived expressions that can accompany celebrity interviews. “People can put on a mask, saying one thing while their body language says another,” he noted. “But in Owens’ case, I saw congruency between his words and his expressions. He owns his job, but his heart is clearly with Simone.”
This shift in focus toward Biles and their relationship marks a significant evolution for Owens, particularly since he previously struggled with articulating his admiration for the gymnastics superstar. Following Biles’ remarkable performance at the Olympic Games, where she not only competed but made history as the most decorated American gymnast, Owens took to social media to shower her with praise. “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,” he wrote, oozing pride and admiration for his wife.
What Lies Ahead for the Couple

In this age of social media scrutiny, celebrities are under constant scrutiny for both their professional and personal lives. The stakes are high, but perhaps the biggest takeaway from Owens’ story is the importance of authentic communication and support within a relationship. As they both embark on their respective journeys—Biles with her aspirations for Olympic gold and Owens as he continues his NFL career—one can only hope that their love story serves as an inspiration for others navigating similar challenges.
