Gymnastics legend Simone Biles told a popular podcast this week that she “broke down” over fan backlash from an interview given by her husband, new Bears safety Jonathan Owens.

Speaking about his marriage to Biles and his reputation as the less famous of the two, Owens told “The Pivot” in December that “men are the catch.”

Biles told the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, in a show posted Wednesday, that those comments were taken the wrong way by her fans, many of whom were upset.

“He never said I wasn’t the catch … ” she said.
