Simone Biles showers praise on ‘real man’ beau Jonathan Owens: ‘I love him, we have a great time together’

Simone Biles showered praise on her boyfriend of three years Jonathan Owens.

‘He’s a real man. I just, I love him. We have a great time together,’ the 23-year-old Olympian told Hoda Kotb on the Today show.

‘Our personalities match right up. We have the same sense of humor. And he’s just great,’ she said of her 25-year-old hunk.

Simone is the most decorated gymnast in the history of the World Championship and Jonathan plays football for the Houston Texans. 

‘He’s an athlete, too, so we really understand each other and I think that’s why our relationship has been seamless,’ she pointed out.

She has two French bulldogs and ‘He also has a bulldog, so I feel like besides him being a cherry on top, that was really amazing and our dogs get along well.’

Simone and Jonathan revealed this August that they were a couple – and two months later she called him her ‘Mancrush every day.’ 

She broke up with her boyfriend of three years Stacey Ervin Jr. this March but kept mum about the split until her Vogue profile that appeared this July. 

‘It’s hard being young and having that long of a relationship and then ending it. But it was for the best,’ said Simone in the August issue of the magazine.

She also reflected on life in lockdown, saying: ‘I think for athletes, it’s hard for us to be out of our element for such a long period of time,. That kind of throws your whole balance off. Because you go to work out and you release endorphins. You get any anger out. It’s kind of our oasis.’ 

Simone explained: ‘Without that, you’re stuck at home with your own thoughts. I’ve kind of let myself live in those thoughts, to read more deeply into them. At the gym, it’s a great distraction, so I never really live with my thoughts.’

However during self-isolation ‘it’s been nice to be able to live with them because I avoid them a lot of the time. That’s my way of protecting my mind.’
