Olympic gymnastics legend Simone Biles and NFL player Jonathan Owens have filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences amid allegations of domestic unrest.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2022, seemed to have it all – love, success, and a bright future together. However, sources close to the family reveal a different story.
Court documents obtained by ESPN allege a pattern of verbal and emotional abuse by Owens, leading to a toxic relationship environment. Biles’ representatives claim she suffered emotional distress and felt trapped.
“I’ve always prioritized my mental health and well-being,” Biles said in a statement. “Unfortunately, my marriage became unsustainable. I’m focusing on self-care and healing.”
Owens’ camp denies the allegations, stating, “Jonathan loves Simone and is saddened by her decision. He’s committed to resolving issues amicably.” Fellow athletes and fans have expressed support for Biles, praising her courage in speaking out.
The NFL has launched an investigation into Owens’ conduct, following its domestic violence policy. The divorce filing seeks joint custody of their pets and division of assets. A trial date is pending.
As Biles navigates this challenging time, she remains focused on her gymnastics legacy and advocacy for mental health awareness.
Biles’ journey serves as a reminder that even the strongest individuals face challenges. Her resilience inspires fans worldwide.
