While she made it clear that achieving specific goals comes first, she definitely plans to start a family in the future. "Yes, me and Jonathan always talk about kids, and he would have had them yesterday if he could have. Obviously, we both have goals that we want to achieve before we start a family.
But, yes, that's definitely in our future."

Later, responding to the backlash, he told Us Weekly that he tries not to respond to social media trolls and expects people to have something to say about everything. He said: "I don't mean to cuss, but like, damned if you do, damned if you don't. If you say something, they're going to say something; if you don’t say something, they're going to say something.
" Biles also defended him by saying that he worships the ground she walks on and that she has never met anyone like him.
