Owens is taking a break from Chicago Bears training camp to come watch Biles at the Olympic women’s gymnastics team final.
The two quickly hit it off and were engaged in early 2022. Owens said he believed he was “the catch” in the relationship, which kicked off a firestorm of criticism in social media circles.The 27-year-old seven-time Olympic medalist — who sometimes wears an “Owens” necklace when not competing — expressed exasperation when asked by The Associated Press earlier this year about the heated rhetoric directed at her husband.No pizza and not much pasta.
Biles believes his comments were “misconstrued” and while she acknowledges putting themselves in a public space can leave them open to criticism, she also believes there’s a line that was crossed.
