Simone Biles responded to the backlash her husband, Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens, received with one word on Instagram.
Biles posted a photo of her and Owens posing together and pointing their mouths at each other as if to show off grills — despite neither of them wearing one — with the caption “mood.”
Owens and Biles joined “The Pivot” podcast, where the security not only admitted he “didn't know who [Biles] was” when the couple started dating, but also claimed he was the “catch” in their marriage.
The 28-year-old's comments came after co-host Channing Crowder asked, “How the hell did you pull Simone Biles,” to which the five-year veteran replied, “It's really how she pulled me.”
Some Biles fans even took to social media to proclaim that Owens should take notes on the way Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce speaks about his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

Her Instagram post suggests Biles clearly has her husband's back despite the backlash it has caused fans.
The Olympic legend also appeared to support Owens' comments during the podcast appearance.
“I know what I like, and I know what I want,” said four-time Olympic gold medalist Biles. 'Period of time.'
The couple started dating in 2020 after meeting on the dating app Raya while Owens was still a member of the Houston Texans practice squad.
They got engaged in 2022 and tied the knot in Mexico last spring.
During his first season in Green Bay, Owens has recorded 67 tackles and a fumble recovery despite often being picked off by opponents in pass coverage.
Owens and the 6-8 Packers are currently preparing for a Christmas Eve game against the Carolina Panthers.
