With the 2024 gymnastics season unfolding, fans look forward to seeing their favorite gymnast, Simone Biles, grace the stage again. Biles, however, chose not to appear at the season’s inaugural event of the Winter Cup. The events are taking place in Louisville, Kentucky, this year from February 23–25. The gymnastics GOAT has instead opted for a romantic getaway with her husband, Jonathan Owens.

Ever since the couple began their secret getaway vacation, Simone and Jonathan have kept their destination a secret. Two days ago, Simone took to her Instagram stories and shared a few glimpses of their vacation. Her first story was a walk on the beach with her husband, which she captioned, “Ready to go on vacation again.” 

Following that, the legendary gymnast took to her social media again and shared an image from the airplane window. The image was of her overlooking the ocean and a sea of green mountains below. Unable to control her excitement, Biles added little heart eyes and a shy smile, indicating her happiness in the caption. 

She later added a picture of Jonathan Owens sitting on the airplane wearing a pink hoodie with headphones on. She funnily captioned her post and wrote, “Prepare to be sick of me.” Following this, she added a photo of the trip’s route on the monitor in front of her seat, which displayed their arrival time as 4:44 with one hour and 33 miles to go.

She captioned the post “444,” without revealing the name of their secret destination. Though the couple kept their destination a secret, they have now revealed the mystery of their tropical paradise. Jonathan Owens and his wife seem to be in O’ahu, Hawaii, as they have landed for a special occasion.

In her recent Instagram story, Biles shared a wedding card of her close friends, Keely Amelia Cartrett, and her fiancé, Kamu Grugier-Hill. The power couple appeared in Hawaii for the wedding week of Keely and Kamu. The story was captioned “Let’s get y’all married” by Biles, with the ocean in the background. In the following story, Keely was seen carrying alcohol in cups, with Simone captioning the story “shot o’ clock baby.”

Adding to this, her proud husband, Jonathan Owens, did not hold back and posted a picture of gorgeous Biles on his Instagram story. In the picture, Biles is seen wearing a black knitted dress and holding a glass of margarita. However, how are Biles and Owens connected to Keely and Kamu, and what is the story behind the Hawaiian vacation?

Just a month after the power duo married in 2023, Biles shared an update on her Instagram stories. The story was that Keely Amelia and Kamu-Gruger Hill’s wedding would be in Hawaii. Confirming they would be at the wedding festivities, Simone shared a picture of the wedding card, captioned it “Meet us in Hawaii,” and tagged the to-be couple as well. However, before this secret getaway, how did the couple celebrate Valentine’s Day?

Simone Biles was all praises for her husband this Valentine’s Day

The power couple, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens, are more in love than ever. And this year’s Valentine’s Day is yet another sweet testament to that. The couple were engaged on the same day two years ago. They have never shied away from expressing their love and respect for each other on social media, and Simone Biles sent the sweetest message to hubby on this special day.

The NFL star and gymnastics icon shared pictures of each other in a heartwarming Instagram post. They appreciate their presence and love through these posts. Biles shared pictures of them in love and posing happily for the camera.

She didn’t fail to celebrate him on this special day and captioned her post, “Every day feels like Valentines day with you.” The NFL legend penned a longer note for his wife with pictures of the moments from their engagement. 

Simone Biles is vacationing with her man!

The Olympic gymnast, 26, shared several photos on her Instagram story on Thursday to mark the beginning of a trip with her husband Jonathan Owens, 28.

“Prepare to be sick of me,” Biles jokingly wrote across a photo of Owens, who sat on an airplane wearing a pink hoodie with headphones on.

Biles also shared a photo of the blue sky from her plane journey before posting a photo of the trip’s route on the TV monitor in front of her seat, which displayed her arrival time as 4:44 with one hour and 33 miles to go.

“444,” she wrote across the snap with emojis of stars, while appearing to scribble out the name of her destination.

After arriving, Biles then shared a photo of a beautiful scenery that consisted of the sea, sand, grass and sky.

Meanwhile, Owens also shared a video on his Instagram story of the same scenery with the camera panning over the beach and showing towels hanging on the back of deck chairs sitting in the grass out front of the property where the video was filmed from.

Biles and Owens’ getaway comes after they posted romantic messages to each other on Valentine’s Day earlier this month.

“Happy Valentine’s Day to my best friend ❤️❤️ I can’t believe that it’s been 2 years since this amazing day, man does time fly,” Owens wrote on Instagram alongside photos of their proposal. “You’re my rock, i feel like i can accomplish anything as long as i have you by my side. So excited to see where life takes us, I love you so much baby ❤️❤️❤️.”

“I love you more than ever baby🤍 best decision ever.” Biles wrote in the comment section.

Meanwhile, she also shared touching words about her husband for the special day.

“Every day feels like valentines day with you 🤭,” her caption read, posted alongside a black and white photo of the couple.

“I love you so much baby ❤️🤞🏽,” Owens commented under his wife’s post.

Even if Simone Biles had retired after the twists incident in 2021, she would still be one of the greatest American gymnasts of all time. But she is ‘defined by tremendous challenges and transformation‘. And above the twisties, Biles rose in pursuit of history at the 2023 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships to become the most decorated gymnast of all time.

She became the first female gymnast to win six all-around titles, and she isn’t done yet. Biles will look to add to her medal tally at the Paris Olympics, which already is quite staggering. Let’s unveil the inexorable juggernaut’s shiny gleaming talismans.

Simone Biles’ gold treasure trove

Very rarely does the talent meet potential in a child, but when it did for Simone Biles, history is being rewritten. “I’ve had the joy for the sport since the first day I stepped into the gym, it’s what I wanted to do“, Biles once said. And her joy started in Antwerp in 2013. Biles struck double gold as a 16-year-old at the World Championships in all-around and floor. A year later she would win 4 golds in Nanning followed by another quadruple in 2015. Biles had truly announced herself before the Olympics, and as expected, she delivered better and superseded pre-conceived expectations.

Entering her maiden Olympics at Rio in 2016, Biles took the world by storm with 4 gold medals in the team, all-around, vault, and floor disciplines. She would also subsequently win bronze in the beam, and later in 2020, Biles went on to win another bronze in the beam while a silver with the U.S. team to take her Olympic medal tally to 7. With her recent comeback victory at Antwerp, the 26-year-old won her 23rd gold medal at the World Championships, taking her overall tally to 27 Gold medals. However, there’s more gold to the story.

More gold after 27 medals? The path ahead

Just like Simone Biles has dominated the international circuits in the last decade, she has equally been a force to be reckoned with on the American mats. She started her US Championships journey in 2013 with an all-around gold, and 10 years later, she would win her 27th US title in 2023. Is there more? Yes, there is.

In the US Classics, Biles went medalless in 2013. But everyone would forget that a year later when she swept the all-around, vault, beam, and floor titles in 2014. The 26-year-old won 3 golds at the last year’s Classic and now has 7 Olympic medals to her name. Is there more? Yes, but at the Olympics, which will put her legacy and team USA in good stead.

Simone Biles has been spending quality time with husband Jonathan Owens, who is making the most of the football off-season. The couple have been keeping fans updated with posts on social media.

Biles, 26, is very encouraging and supportive of Owens, a safety for the Green Bay Packers. After his team lost to the 49ers in January, she said there’s so much to be proud of.

The gymnast recently posted about their plans for a holiday on her Instagram stories. Biles wrote:

Jonathan Owens is very supportive of wife Simone Biles

In an interview with ESPN in August 2023, Owens revealed that he was anxious to know how his wife Simone Biles did at the US Classic in Chicago. He was in the midst of the Green Bay Packers’ annual Family Night practice at Lambeau Field when he sprinted to the locker room to call Biles.

Owens, 28, said:

In the Tokyo Olympics, the seven-time Olympic medalist suffered a setback – the twisties (sudden onset of a mental block). Biles pulled out of several competitions to protect herself. She took a two-year break to get herself together.

Biles told Vanity Fair. February 2024 issue, it was kind of depressing until she started therapy and got help. She said

Gymnastics fans are agog with excitement eight years after the 2016 Rio Games, with three-time Olympic medalist Gabby Douglas, considering a comeback to the Olympics. Douglas is the first African American to win the Olympic individual all-around champion title in 2012 London. In 2013, Simone Biles entered the elite scene, becoming the first African-American woman to win the US gymnastics championship.

At the 2016 Rio Olympics, as “Final Five” the duo shared the gold medal as a team. While Biles won four medals overall, three of which were gold. There is a certain thrill as they return to the mats this year, overshadowing the tensions in their relationship outside the mats. Certain social media backlash was the precursor to this concatenation of events that involved a woman’s sartorial choices.

A piece of fabric divided Gabby Douglas and Simone Biles

Dubbed “The GOAT,” Simone Biles is the most decorated gymnast in history, standing at a height of just four feet eight inches. Although there were some disagreements along the way to her extraordinary achievement. It happened in response to Aly Raisman’s disclosure of se**al assault by USA Gymnastics doctor Lawrence G. Nassar when the debate surfaced in a Twitter conversation. Raisman’s words, which supported women’s freedom to express themselves sans fear of criticism, ran counter to Douglas’s deleted response, which emphasized women’s need to dress modestly

Biles publicly called out Douglas, “shocks me that I’m seeing this but it doesn’t surprise me…,” expressing displeasure at the vapid statement and requesting support to protect her friend and colleague Raisman. The incident brought to light a sharp difference in their viewpoints, although Douglas later retweeted, “i didn’t correctly word my reply & i am deeply sorry.”

During the harassment case, Biles never wavered in her backing of 2012 and 2016 gymnastics Olympics team captain Aly Raisman. Later, Raisman, McKayla Maroney, Simone Biles, and Maggie Nichols focused their criticism on the FBI’s improper conduct in the investigation into the charges against Nassar and the intimidation that came from the sport’s governing organizations. Now, with a plethora of bitter-sweet history behind them, both the gymnasts are once again crossing paths after their return.

The veteran gymnasts’ comeback

Following a 2 years and 2 days professional hiatus after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Biles reaffirmed her supremacy last year. She won the 8th all-around national competition in August and the sixth individual Worlds’ medal in October 2023, introducing the Yurchenko double pike vault, a first for women’s competition, and her fifth named move. With 30 world medals—and seven Olympic medals under her belt, Biles is now headed to the Paris Olympics with her confirmed ticket.

Douglas, on the other hand, has been improving on her own and training at WOGA Gymnastics in North Texas under Valeri Liukin’s tutelage, recently stating she “never retired” from gymnastics. In addition, she is Team USA’s winning talisman as she specializes in the uneven bars, the apparatus known for the team’s weakness. With the prospects of another skilled Olympian joining the mix of Team US, the question over their triumphant return to the world stage lingers.

Valentine’s Day brought in all the loved ones appreciating their partners, and star gymnast Simone Biles wasn’t far behind. Known for her doting on her husband, NFL icon Jonathan Owens, Biles made sure to make him feel appreciated.

The day also marked their engagement, which made the celebration sweeter. Biles bombarded her socials with pictures of her and Owens, declaring her appreciation for him. The NFL icon also took to Instagram to share a glimpse of their special day.

While Biles seemed to express how she didn’t need a special day to celebrate her love for her husband, it didn’t hurt to flaunt her feelings. Her Instagram stories featured the couple happily huddled together, posing for pictures. Be it professional shoots or casual selfies, they seemed content with each other. Simone expressed her feelings for her husband in the post’s caption:

Meanwhile, Owens had a long note dedicated to his wife. Sharing glimpses from when he got down on one knee and popped the question, the NFL icon was grateful for his ‘rock’ being by his side always.

The love shower doesn’t stop there, though. Known for spoiling each other with gifts, the gymnast recently shared how Owens treated her to flowers and luxury accessories. She revealed how she had been crying all day, and her husband’s gesture melted her heart.

While being attached to the hip, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens faced some backlash

The couple might be strong enough to endure the hardships that life throws their way. However, in a recent twist of events, Owens faced the wrath of gymnastics enthusiasts after one of his statements didn’t translate properly.

In a podcast featuring various NFL safety players, Owens confessed how he never heard of his wife, Biles, before they began dating. What added fuel to the fire was the Green Bay Packers icon claiming that he was the ‘catch’ in their relationship.

Biles even suggested that fans would eventually know her as Owens’ wife, which snowballed into days’ worth of criticism and backlash. Nevertheless, there’s no denying that the couple loves and supports each other beyond limits.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens will have something nice to look at once their Texas home is fully built.

In a series of Instagram Story posts on Monday, the Olympic gold medalist showed photos of the property’s stunning waterfront view. Biles has been documenting the construction process on social media since September 2023.

The first photo showed her NFL star husband standing at the home’s entrance with hands up in the air. The picture showed a ladder, pieces of wood, and other construction materials inside. Two large windows gave a peak at the water and trees outside.

In the second image, the Green Bay Packers player stood on the home’s roof, looking out at the water. Biles also photographed her husband in a room with multiple scaffold towers and a canvas drop cloth on the ground.

The gymnast gave her social media followers a more detailed view of the home’s interior on Saturday, including her large walk-in closet with plenty of storage space and a kitchen.

Biles has not been afraid to chronicle all the ups and downs of the building process. In November 2023, she told her fans that there had been a slight setback.

“Yesterday I was here from 11am-5pm…..🥴. I thought it was going to be a 30-minute thing bc I had no clue what I was walking into,” she shared in a video uploaded on her Instagram Story that showed the home’s high ceilings.

Although she did not specify what caused the delay, she said she “made progress” after calling her dad for backup.

“Called my dad for backup yesterday bc I panicked! but I’ve made so much progress & I’m so proud of myself. Jonathan will deal with the end result oops……..I hope I did it decently & thought of all the things,” wrote Biles in another upload.

Biles and her husband tied the knot during a courthouse ceremony on April 2023 and jetted off for a second ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, that May.

What drives Simone Biles to attempt another vault even after spending 18 hefty seasons in gymnastics? Despite achieving an elusive height in her sporting love affair, the 26-year-old American phenomenon showed her humane color in the crests and troughs of her life. Spectacles and debacles like those made Simone Biles close to her fans, from her elite gymnastics routine to a Valentine’s Day persona. However, in the Olympic year, the gymnast in her will try to rise above all the kerfuffle that once jolted her in Tokyo. At that onset, Simone Biles will try to be superhuman again.

Though the Winter Cup is yet to come on the topic for the 7x Olympic insignia holder, But the May occasion of the 2024 Core Hydration Classic might frame the legend, taking her stand and flipping again on the mat along the bar. But before that, let’s delve into the factors that culminated in making a simple Ohio girl arguably the greatest gymnast ever to walk on earth.

Adopted by grandparents: Know the role Simone Biles’ guardians played in her life

“I just felt like I needed to look out for her because if family doesn’t look out for you, who’s going to?” Simone Biles’ comment on sister Adria Biles made headlines for a moment. But do you know that their bonding has always been like that?

Love on the field trip: She started her gymnastics journey after a trip

Right now, Simone Biles is in her prime gymnastics time, when the phenom can disclaim that she has nothing left to lose in her sporting affair. With almost 30 international medals in her bag, she may indicate a smooth opening of her career. However, that wasn’t the case. Even the Tokyo Olympics medalist had landed in the gymnastics arena in quite an unplanned way.

It had come out to be the gymnastic schedule going to a local gym that had made the 6-year-old Simone fall for the sport. Well, the judicious glance of that gym’s coach didn’t take a second to reveal the kid’s hidden ability. The rest is, as they say, history.

Fight against ADHD: How Simone Biles overcame to become one of the best in sports?

A ruptured childhood and a highly motivated gymnastics love often made Simone Biles go into whammies. Her suffering from ADHD was one of the results of that quagmire at an early age. But being a responsible face of the American gymnastics arena, the 2016 Olympics gold medalist didn’t shy away from opening up about the disease.

The fiasco had received extra fuel when Russian hackers revealed her medical history containing the ADHD inference. Moreover, the situation had gone into limbo as Simone Biles faced the accusation of consuming banned substances to eradicate the ADHD indications. But the American gymnast had leveled her rebuttals with logic and proof and ultimately came out clean.

Gymnastics run in the family: Simone Biles’s sister followed her to the beam

The childhood quagmires felt only good when Simone Biles found her partner-in-crime in sister Adria Biles. In foster care, they had moved together. So when it had come to go under the guardianship of Ron and Nellie Biles, the sisters had moved hand in hand. The bonding was visible on the gymnastics mat as well.

Both sisters had tried their flipping and handstands together until Adria was 16 years old. But at the Rio Olympics, they bonded again. But that time, Simone was in her leotard, and Adria was in the audience’s suit. But with a striking physical similarity, Adria could funnily pose as Simone Biles among the jovial fans.

A recognized name: How multiple moves are named after Simone?

The double dabble algorithm may have sent sweat even to the very learned mathematicians on the paper. But for Simone Biles, her double dabble touched a different height with a special touch every time. Yes, it is about the gymnastics moves that are named after her. The four-time Olympic gold medalist registered her first uncommon move in 2013. It was a double layout on the half-floor. The gymnastics committee had named it after her, Biles I. Later in 2018, another move came. That time, it was on the vault, with a triple-double on the floor. Ultimately, it was Biles II. After that, two more such gymnastic inscriptions came from her side, bearing her name gladly.

Apart from such factors, what made Simone Biles unreachable was her determination and dedication. Even after losing the Tokyo Olympics ground, the 26-year-old gymnast couldn’t degrade her returning chance on the floor again. She continued with her exercise schedule in the backend. Last year, that determination assisted her in sparkling again on the camps and titles.

Moreover, at the right moment, the American numero uno has shown signs of overcoming her fear and indulging in the best fervor in the sport. Now, the coming days would decide her later chapters in becoming more than a legend.
