Simone Biles and husband, Green Bay Packers defensive back Jonathan Owens, have a whole lot of athleticism in their home.

Biles, legendary gymnast, appeared on Peacock’s 2023 wrap-up program, “Back That Year Up,” which was hosted by Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson. The household’s athletic prowess, and who holds the most, came up in the form of question “Who do you think is the better athlete?”

“I think we’re good at our own sports,” Biles, the multi-Olympic gold medal winner, said. “We’ve tried to pin each other against [one another] on, like, difficulty, ability and all that stuff. So, at the end of the day, gymnastics is hard, if he agrees or not."

Thompson gave credit to Biles for a “nice politician answer," while Hart said he wasn’t looking to start any controversies in the Biles/Owens house.

“Here’s the truth,” Thompson said on the program. “I know your name, you know what I’m saying? That’s all I’m going to say. I know your name.”

Hart asked Biles if whether gymnastics is harder than football is an ongoing conversation between the married couple.

"We fought over it a couple of times, and then we vowed once we got married, we wouldn't talk about it again," she said. "But it keeps coming up every time, but he has done my workout in the gym and he could barely do it, and then I went to their NFL workout and I crushed it."

“Shots fired!” Thompson replied.

Questions about who the better athlete is were brought up on the Peacock program after Owens recently appeared on “The Pivot” podcast and said he was the “catch” in the relationship.
