The golden couple of sports, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens, are once again the center of attention but this time, it’s not for medals or touchdowns. A recent video showing the NFLplayer touching Biles’ lower back and adjusting her skirt during a public event has set off a wave of mixed reactions.
The video shows Owens gently placing his hand on Biles’ back before briefly touching her backside and adjusting the hem of her skirt. Biles, who appeared to whisper something and then smile, didn’t seem uncomfortable. Still, the video has divided viewers: some described it as a sweet, normal moment between husband and wife, while others felt the gesture should stay private and was too intimate for a public setting.
Where’s the line between love and oversharing?
Owens, a safety for the Chicago Bears, and Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, are known for being openly affectionate in public and on social media. They often share playful clips together from training sessions to red-carpet events and have built a reputation as one of the most genuine couples in sports. But as this latest video shows, even affection between partners can spark debate in the public eye.
Some fans defended Owens, pointing out that his gesture seemed natural and protective rather than inappropriate. “He was just making sure her outfit looked right. Others, however, argued that certain gestures should remain private, especially when cameras are around.
This isn’t the first time the couple has faced public scrutiny. Owens previously went viral after comments he made on a podcast about their relationship drew criticism from some fans, while Biles responded gracefully, saying that their marriage works because they truly understand and respect each other.
The line between what’s acceptable in public and what might make others uncomfortable is a thin one. For Owens and Biles, this kind of affection seems perfectly fine for others, it’s too much. How do you choose to act in public? Which side are you on?
