As the most decorated U.S. gymnast in history, Simone Biles has been the subject of intense scrutiny, and no part of her life is off-limits to critics—whether it's her hair or her relationship with her husband, Jonathan Owens. But now, a sweet interaction between the couple at the Olympics is going viral for all the right reasons.
In a set of side-by-side images posted to Instagram, Biles and Owens can be seen making hand hearts at each other during the women's gymnastics individual all-around competition in Paris, and fans are gushing over the "adorable" pair.

As Parade previously reported, Owens alienated many of his wife's loyal fans when he claimed he was "the catch" in their relationship during a December 2023 podcast interview. According to the Green Bay Packers player, he didn't know who Biles was when they first met on the dating app Raya—but it wasn't long before he figured it out.
“The coolest thing for me is that I get to witness someone who is literally in the pinnacle of their sport,” Owens said in the Facebook docuseries Simone vs. Herself.
“It’s motivating to see that and the impact that she has on people," he continued. "We were walking past this group of girls, and they were shaking, ‘Oh my god, it’s Simone!’ This is when I kind of knew. Like, okay, yeah, she’s the real deal.”
