In a show of solidarity, Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles has come to the defense of her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, after he faced criticism for wearing one of her historic gold medals at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.

The controversy sparked when Owens shared a heartfelt Instagram post on July 30, congratulating Biles on her remarkable achievements at the games. However, some fans were not impressed, questioning why Owens was holding the medal as if he had won it himself.

Biles, currently adding to her impressive collection of Olympic medals with gold wins in the individual all-around and vault finals, took a moment between her victories to address the criticism. Responding directly to a TikTok creator who had criticized Owens, Biles defended her husband's actions.

In the comment section of the TikTok video, Biles explained that she had put her medal on all of her family members and captured pictures with each of them. She expressed frustration with the assumption that her husband wearing the gold medal was inappropriate, stating, "So don't ever make assumptions. Like y'all are so fucking miserable. Leave us alone."

Acknowledging Biles' response, the TikTok creator, Kiera Breaugh, shared in a video that she felt honored to be told off by such a talented woman. Breaugh also expressed understanding of Biles' perspective, recognizing that maybe Owens was genuinely taking pride in his wife's accomplishments.

With Biles' recent victories, her Olympic medal count now stands at an impressive 10, with seven of them being gold. The gymnastics superstar is currently preparing to compete in the uneven bars, balance beam, and floor finals, continuing her quest for further success at the Paris Olympics.

Meanwhile, Owens, who had taken time away from his NFL training camp with the Chicago Bears to support his wife in Paris, is now returning home. Despite being away, he remains a dedicated supporter as Biles competes in the final events.

The couple has faced scrutiny in the past, with Owens' previous comments about being the "catch" in their relationship and not initially recognizing Biles' accomplishments. However, it is evident that Biles stands firmly by her husband's side, shutting down critics and focusing on their shared journey.

As the Paris 2024 Olympics continue, fans eagerly await Biles' performances in the upcoming finals, where she has the chance to add more medals to her extraordinary collection. Through it all, Biles and Owens demonstrate the strength of their bond and how they navigate the challenges that come with being in the public eye.
