Simone Biles' husband Jonathan Owens accused of Kentucky Derby-based lie

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens made a memorable entrance at the 151st Kentucky Derby this past weekend.

The power couple, known for their impeccable style and athletic achievements, turned heads not only with their coordinated lavender outfits but also with a moment during a brief NBC interview that quickly gained attention on social media.

The two appeared relaxed and eager to enjoy a much-needed break after a busy year filled with athletics and travel. As the cameras rolled, Biles and Owens shared lighthearted moments before the race, discussing their Derby picks and soaking in the excitement of the day. But one comment from Owens sparked more reaction than he may have anticipated.

During the interview, Owens proudly declared his "three-for-three" streak in predicting winners in earlier undercard races. But when asked about his pick for the main event, the Chicago Bears safety was a little more elusive.

"I can't tell you yet," he said with a smile.

"I got to keep it to the family."

Backlash over Owens' coy response

That playful remark didn't sit well with many viewers, who took to Twitter to question Owens' credibility. Fans were quick to point out that Owens had mentioned correctly predicting a fourth race but didn't place a bet on it - further fueling skepticism.

"Jonathan Owens just claimed in the last 4 races he went 3/3 and picked the right winner in the 4th (didn't bet it) ... BUT won't share his pick for the derby... buddy don't tell us you're hot if you're not going to share," one tweeted.

Owens, of course, isn't a stranger to online scrutiny. Over time, some fans have questioned past comments about his relationship with Biles. However, despite the occasional negative , the couple's for each other remains unwavering.

Owens even received special permission last summer to skip training camp so he could cheer on Biles during her historic performance at the Paris Olympics.

Despite the online chatter, neither Owens nor Biles directly addressed the criticism. The couple appeared unbothered by the reactions, staying focused on enjoying their time together at the Derby.

Though Owens' comment may have stirred up some debate, his calm response and Biles' steadfast showed that they were both determined to enjoy the day without being weighed down by the noise of social media.

The 151st Kentucky Derby, broadcast on NBC, attracted a number of celebrities and athletes, but for Biles and Owens, it was a moment to embrace the joy of the event, enjoy each other's company, and steer clear of the online distractions.
