Fans are extra critical of the NFL player because he said he was the “catch” in their relationship during a December 2023 appearance on the “Pivot” podcast. He also claimed he had no idea who Biles was when they first met.
Trolls instantly took to social media to bash him for making such a comment, but Biles and Owens confirmed they didn’t let the criticism get to them after the latter shared a montage of pH๏τos with his wife and captioned it, “Unbothered 😂❤️ Just know we locked in over here 🤞🏽.”
“🤞🏾💋 for life,” the Olympian added in the comment section.
In April, however, she admitted the uproar took a toll on her mental health and defended him once more.
“He said he was a catch. Because he is! I’ve never met a man like him,” she said on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.
The following month, she addressed the situation again and told anyone being “disrespectful” to “respectfully f–k off.”
Owens spoke out about the matter in July as well, telling Us Weekly he ignores the hate comments.
“I don’t mean to cuss, but like, damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If you say something, they’re going to say something; if you don’t say something, they’re going to say something,” he explained.
“So, just live your life. People are going to talk about you anyway, so you might as well do it the way you want to.”
