Star gymnast Simone Biles has revealed having suffered an emotional breakdown due to the backlash her husband, Jonathan Owens, received for claiming he did not know who she was before they began dating.

Owens, an NFL safety who joined the Chicago Bears after a season with the Green Bay Packers, revealed he wasn’t aware of who Biles was during an interview on ‘The Pivot’ late in 2023.

He also declared he was “the catch,” recalling she drove hours to meet him for the first time.

The comments prompted a wave of criticism and abuse, which Biles admits got to her.

“He said he was a catch,” she said on the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast (H/T Marca). “Because he is! I’ve never met a man like him. I thought it was hilarious at first and then it hurt my feelings.

“One night I broke down and I’m like, ‘Why are you guys talking about my husband like this? You don’t know him. You don’t know who he is and if anybody’s met him, you know he’s the sweetest guy, will do anything for anybody.‘”

Nearly 95 percent of Americans never tuned in to the Olympics in 2021, and there are way more of them who don’t watch the games than those who do.

As for Owens, he was still in college when the gymnast shot to fame and didn’t care for the Olympics at all. Of course, he cares now.

Still, fans who keep abreast got on his back over his comments despite Biles confirming what he said and asking them to lay off him.

Simone Biles Reveals Jonathan Owens Only Recently Applied For His First Passport

According to Simone Biles, her husband only recently acquired a passport to support her at the 2024 Olympic Games.

“I mean, in Paris I think they will do a beautiful job and he doesn’t travel overseas too much,” Biles noted. “He had to get a passport – he never had a passport before. I’m excited for him to see the Olympics because football’s not in the Olympics and he always says it’s the hardest sport, it’s universal. So, why is it not in the Olympics?“

Given this information, it’s not hard to see how the man had no idea who Simone Biles was before they began speaking.

Social Media Is Sending Their Prayers To Clint Eastwood Today

Clint Eastwood turned 95 recently, but it hasn’t been an easy year for the legendary actor and director.

On Tuesday, fans across the country poured out messages of support as news spread about his recent struggles. Eastwood has been mourning the sudden death of his longtime partner, Christina Sandera, who passed away from a heart attack earlier this year.

The Hollywood icon has kept a low profile since her passing. For fans who’ve followed his career for decades, seeing Eastwood go through this personal loss has struck a chord. Though the actor has rarely been seen in public in recent months, his son Scott Eastwood shared a welcome update that gave many people a reason to breathe a little easier.

Fans Rally Behind Eastwood

Scott Eastwood, in a recent interview, reassured fans that his father is holding up. “He’s doing good,” he said. “He’s a survivor, a trouper. He was born coming out of the Great Depression, and then he was young during World War II. He saw a lot of struggle.” That perspective seems to be carrying Eastwood through yet another chapter of hardship.

Supporters didn’t hesitate to show their love. Social media lit up with tributes, memories, and heartfelt messages. Many highlighted not only his contributions to film but also his resilience as a person.

“There are literally hundreds of reasons why a man doesn’t get better with age,” one fan posted on X.

Another fan commented, “HE IS NEVER GONNA STOP!!!!”

Another fan chimed in, “I hope he blesses us with his presence for many more years!”

Photographs from December 2018 show Eastwood attending the premiere of The Mule with Sandera by his side. The two had been together for years, and her sudden loss clearly left a mark on him. Though the grief remains, Eastwood isn’t ready to slow down completely. In an interview with Kurier on May 30, he reflected on aging with intent. “There’s no reason why a man can’t get better with age,” he said. “And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I’m not one of them.”

Clint Eastwood, who has eight children- Laurie, Kimber, Alison, Francesca, Kyle, Kathryn, Scott and Morgan- continues to lean on family during this time. For fans, the hope is simple: that he keeps creating, keeps going, and, most of all, keeps finding strength in the days ahead.
