    Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens "definitely" want to start a family together

    The 27-year-old gymnast and nine-time Olympic medallist - who has already won gold with her USA teammates and individually with the all-around gymnastics title at the Paris Olympics - admitted while she and her NFL star husband "always talk about kids", they both have their own goals to focus on before settling down in that way


    She told 'Today' host Hoda Kotb: "Yes, me and Jonathan always talk about kids, and he would have had them yesterday if he could have.

    "Obviously we both have goals that we want to achieve before we start a family. But, yes, that's definitely in our future."

    Simone - who won gold in the all-around, vault, floor and team events as well as picking up bronze on balance beam at the Rio Olympics in 2016 before withdrawing from several events at the Tokyo 2020 games - also reflected on her legacy, and how she is focused on a passion for gymnastics and authenticity.

    Asked how she would like to be remembered within the sport, she replied: "Someone who loved the sport, had fun doing it and just was authentically herself."

    Jonathan, 28, sparked controversy in December 2023 when he admitted he didn't know who Simone was when they first met on celebrity dating app Raya in 2020.

    Speaking on 'The Pivot' podcast at the time, Jonathan was asked if he considered himself "the catch" in their marriage, and replied: "I always say that the men are the catch."

    Last month, he addressed the backlash and admitted as well as ignoring social media, he also tries not to respond to trolls.

    He told Us Weekly magazine: "I don't mean to cuss, but like, damned if you do, damned if you don't. If you say something, they're going to say something; if you don't say something, they're going to say something.

    "So, just live your life. People are going to talk about you anyway, so you might as well do it the way you want to."

    Simone has defended her man from the backlash, and admitted she "rolled her eyes and laughed" when she was "in the room" for the viral moment.

    She told the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast earlier this year: "He never said I wasn't a catch. He said he was a catch... He praises the ground that I walk on. Truly, I've never met a man like him."
