Simone Biles wants everyone to know that Jonathan Owens is all hers!

On Monday, the pro gymnast, 26, reacted to PEOPLE naming her NFL player husband as one of the 21 sexiest men in sports on her Instagram Story. Biles posted a screenshot of the article’s headline next to the section on Owens, a safety for the Green Bay Packers.

She expressed her admiration for Owens, 28, by tagging his account and adding an overheated face and a white heart emoji.

“Easy people….. He’s mine,” the four-time Olympic gold medalist jokingly wrote over the post. “But he is sexy!!!!!!”

Biles and Owens tied the knot in a Texas courthouse wedding in April before they wed again in Cabo San Lucas a month later.

Since then, the couple have been navigating a long-distance marriage after Owens — who was playing for their hometown Houston, Texas, when they met — signed with the Green Bay Packers in May.

The pair have recently been celebrating the holidays in Green Bay, dressing up in matching Halloween costumes and even posing for an adorable fall-inspired photoshoot in early November.

In October, Biles opened up on the Today show about how her perspective on gymnastics has changed since getting married.

“Gymnastics is just something I get to come in and have the privilege of doing. I don’t feel like it’s the end all be all anymore, as before I kind of felt like that,” Biles explained at the time. “I get to go home to my husband, to my dogs, to my house and all of the things. So it feels really good.”

“It’s been really fun supporting what he loves to do,” she added. “Obviously, he’s in Green Bay right now so my season just ended. I’m super excited to get out there to Green Bay for the holidays to support him.”

In the same interview, Biles also said she'll attempt to meet up with Taylor Swift if the singer is at Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs' game against the Packers on Dec. 3. Today host Hoda Kotb brought it up, telling the Olympian, “I’d like to see you and Taylor. It’d be really cute, it’d be a nice photo opp." 

Biles responded: “I actually will be going to that game!”

“Let’s just try to have a moment there if we can, OK?” Kotb suggested, to which Biles nodded and said "yes, OK... will do."
