Watch Jonathan answering the most Controversial Question: Who is the ‘Better Athlete’ between Jonathan Owens and Simone Biles

Simone Biles and her husband Jonathan Owens are one true relationship and athletic goals. In as much as they are great success stories not only in sports but also their bond is unmistakable. Simone is an Olympic gymnastics icon; she has been named to the list of one of the best gymnasts of all time. Jonathan on the other hand shines on the football field by being a successful NFL safety. Both have made their marks in the world of sports, yet when it comes to who takes the crown as the better athlete, Jonathan didn't hesitate.

On January 7, the power couple attended Sports Illustrated's Sportsperson of the Year award show. Dressed effortlessly glamorous, they made an entrance that oozed charm and elegance-a perfect match for their achievements. But it was not just the appearance that everyone was talking about. Fast forward to Friday, and Sports Illustrated shared a clip from their light-hearted Q&A session on X (formerly Twitter), where the couple joked around about their athletic abilities.

When asked who’s the better athlete, Jonathan didn’t even need to think twice. He pointed straight at Simone and, with a playful laugh, said, “I’m not doing no backflips. Nah.” The answer was simple, but it spoke volumes about how much Jonathan admires his wife’s unparalleled skills. Let's be real—how many NFL players could even dream of pulling off Simone's iconic routines, let alone do them with the same grace and perfection she brings to the mat?

But that was not the end of it. The duo was also questioned who was the better cheerleader between them. This time, the tables turned. Simone immediately crowned Jonathan as the superior cheerleader, noting how attentive he is when watching games. "Jonathan, he knows more and really pays attention. After the first half, I lose track of the game," Simone admitted, laughing at herself.
Jonathan joked and teased Simone. "She'll hear everybody else yelling and be like, 'What happened?' But you know, it's the thought that counts, and I love it." Such lighthearted humor about her, while not fully keeping up, shows how much he cares about her. It is these light moments of playfulness and care that make their love so humanly relatable to viewers.

Simone and Jonathan's relationship is the best example of how two highly successful people support one another at each and every juncture. Simone is considered one of the most decorated gymnasts in the world, who has won a plethora of Olympic gold medals as well as titles at the World Championships. Jonathan is a phenomenal NFL safety who plays for the Houston Texans. The position of an NFL safety requires a great deal of athleticism and mental toughness. Still, what really sets them apart is their ability to stay grounded and supportive of one another.
