Simone Biles' husband Jonathan Owens admits he had one major fear when he first met her

Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is currently competing in the 2024 Games, and her husband has been cheering her on

If we can all agree on one thing during the 2024 Paris Olympics, it's that we have Simone Biles fever - and we just can't get enough of any and all detail regarding the gymnastics star - including details about her swoon-worthy marriage.

Biles, part of Team USA, is the most decorated gymnast in history, holding an incredible eight Olympic and 30 World Championship medals to date.

She has helped lead her team to win gold during this year's Olympics, and one person whose support she has been able to steadily rely on is that of her husband, Jonathan Owens.

The NFL player has been given lashings of praise for how he has been celebrating his talented partner.

Following Biles' victory on 1 August, she cast her eyes towards her family and husband in the crowd, throwing up a love heart sign with her hands.

Her husband then returned the gesture, leading fans all over the world to react on social media.

One person wrote: "Find someone that loves you as much as Jonathan Owens loves Simone Biles."

Preach!

In case you're wondering how the two love birds spent their first date, and what Owen's initial fear was when meeting his future wife, the documentary Simone Biles: Rising, currently streaming on Netflix, has your answers.

The duo filmed a duo side by side where they recounted how it went.

Owens said: "It's just funny, I remember she pulled up in her little Range Rover, I was like, 'Okay, I see you girl' [...] and then she just jumped out and she's like all the way down here, and I'm like 'Oh, shoot!'"

Biles then chimed in: "He said it scared him at first, how short I was!"

Owens added: "I never met someone that tall. I was like, 'Oh, shoot, that's kinda small!'"

For reference, Biles is 4'8" while her husband if 5'11".

So the height difference is definitely more than slight, but clearly the lovebirds make it work.

Following so many Olympics fans swooning over Owens supporting Biles at the Olympics, it's now been pointed out that the NFL star has chosen to miss his team's training camp to be there for Biles.

One person wrote on X: "Massive respect for allowing Jonathan Owens time off of pre-season camp to support his wife Simone Biles as she dominated to become the most decorated woman’s gymnast in history and lead her team to a gold medal."

So cute!
