Simone Biles revealed that she and her husband, Jonathan Owens, argue about who is the better athlete.
During a recent interview for Peacock’s “2023 Back That Year Up” with hosts Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson, the Olympic gymnast, 36, shared that she and the Green Bay Packers player, 28, often fight about who is the better athlete in their home.
“I think we’re good at our own sports,” she said. “We’ve tried to pin each other against on like, difficulty, ability and all that stuff. So, at the end of the day, gymnastics is harder — if he agrees or not.”
Thompson, 45, told Biles that she gave a “nice politician answer,” but he also hinted that she’s the better athlete since he also only knows her name — not her husband’s.
Hart, 44, then told the four-time gold medalist that she should use their show to “clear up” her “household fight” with Owens once and for all.
“We fought over it a couple of times and then we vowed — once we got married — we wouldn’t talk about it again,” Biles admitted.
“But it keeps coming up every time. He has done my workout in the gym and he could barely do it and then I went to their NFL workout and I crushed it.”
While it’s unclear when Biles filmed this clip for the show, she and her husband — who tied the knot in April — recently made headlines after Owens caught heat for calling himself the “catch” in their relationship.
After admitting that he had no idea who Biles was when they first connected on the dating app Raya in 2020, the football star said he believes “that the men are the catch.”

Owens’ comments did not go over well with fans of the Olympian on social media.
“The interview with Simone Biles and her husband Jonathan Owens is SO embarrassing. I can’t believe she let him talk about their relationship like that 🚩🚩,” tweeted one person.
“I had to google Jonathan Owens but I did not have to google Simone Biles,” added another.
“Simone Biles is not only regarded as one of the best gymnasts ever, she’s in GOAT conversations across every sport. They’re calling her one of if not the greatest athlete of all time, I didn’t even know who this n–a was till she married him lmfao,” wrote a third user.
As the backlash mounted, Owens and Biles didn’t seem to let the criticism get to them.
On Thursday, the safety posted a carousel of snaps from their wedding day on Instagram alongside the caption, “Unbothered 😂❤️ Just know we locked in over here.”
“🤞🏾💋 for life,” Biles wrote in the comments section of his post.
The most decorated gymnast in history then shared snaps of herself sitting in her beau’s lap as they locked lips and sported matching plaid pajamas.
