Simone Biles Posts Perfect Meme to End Chatter About Husband’s Comments

The number of players in the NFL who are less famous than their significant others is not high.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is probably the most notable example, as his decent-sized star is naturally dwarfed by that of musician Taylor Swift. Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens—the husband of gymnastics icon Simone Biles—is another.

On Thursday, Owens made headlines when he admitted on ESPN analyst and former NFL defensive back Ryan Clark's podcast that he initially did not know who Biles was when he matched with her on a dating app. The admission set off considerable discussion over whether Owens's comments were out of line.

Two days after the episode's release, Biles weighed in on the drama on social media by exasperatedly asking, "Are y'all done yet?"

Biles and Owens married in April, a little over 14 months after announcing their engagement. Biles won four gold medals at the World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium this fall, while Owens has recorded 67 tackles in 14 games for the Packers this season.
