Simone Biles’ scaling Olympian heights

Sportico ranked Simone Biles as #9 among highest paid female athletes (she earned $8.5M) while Coco Guff earned $22.7M and this showed that she outwitted the former. Despite being declared the greatest Olympic gymnast ever, Biles’ achievements will continue to propel her net worth estimated at about 16 million dollars by Celebrity Net Worth. Her large following in social media have helped her work with some popular companies like GK Elite, Athleta, MasterClass, and Nulo among others, year after year.

Embracing Athleta in 2021, Biles praised the brand by saying, “I feel like they also support me, not just as an athlete, but just as an individual outside of the gym and the change that I want to create, which is so refreshing. She further added, “Now that I’m older and kind of in the world a little bit more, I see and I know and I learn and I grow from things, so to partner with Athleta, I think they stand for everything that I stand for.

Simone Biles and her husband Jonathan Owens have been the it couple of the sporting world for quite some time now. Whether it’s adorable date night pictures or a destination wedding that left everyone jealous, the two are truly the definition of a power couple.

When they first met in 2020, Biles had already established herself as a legend in the sport of gymnastics. At the time, she was preparing for the Tokyo Olympics, looking for a repeat of the massive medal haul she claimed in Rio.

However, despite all of her success, Jonathan Owens did not know who she was, which, according to the NFL player, was something that Simone Biles liked.

Naturally, Owens figured out just how successful Simone was a little bit into their relationship, but didn’t truly grasp how difficult her sport was until he saw her perform live.
The NFL player was singing a different tune once he saw Biles compete at the 2021 US National Gymnastics Championships in Fort Worth, Texas.

Simone Biles has had an epic journey in gymnastics. What started as a passion at 6 years of age has made her the most decorated gymnast 20 years later. While most of Biles’s past teammates are retired gymnasts themselves, Biles is still at it, proving she is the GOAT of the sport.

Age is just a number for 26-year-old Simone Biles, as she made history by becoming the oldest woman to clinch victory at the U.S. gymnastics championships this year. Yet, despite this, a moment came up where Biles recalled her age in a surprising and nostalgic reunion with her past.

Simone Biles recollects her age

Simone Biles took to Instagram to share a surprising picture that warmed the hearts of her 7.1 million followers. She shared a two picture carousel post with the Final Five Teammates of the 2016 Rio Olympics, Aly Raisman and Laurie Hernandez.

Nevertheless, peace in Biles’ homestead was interrupted when Baby Biles suffered a scary sickness episode, calling for emergency measures to access urgent treatment.

Unexpected Parenthood Realities

Recently, Sammi Biles took to Instagram to share a poignant narrative alongside a photo featuring a T-shirt stained with blood marks.

Months ago, Simone Biles revealed her affection for babies when she met her newborn niece during Thanksgiving last year. On November 25, 2022 her brother Ron Biles and sister-in-law Sammi Biles welcomed their daughter, Ronni Louise Biles, officially making her the youngest family member. Simone took on a special role as an aunt, showering the baby with love and attention. She joyfully shared an endearing picture on her Instagram, expressing pride in being her “TT” and anticipation to spoil her. Since then, she spent considerable time with the baby, and several months ago, Ron entrusted Simone with the responsibility of positively influencing his daughter, a role she embraced with delight.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’ Humorous Family Planning Dilemma

Newlywed Simone Biles recently discussed her and husband Jonathan Owens’ future plans for starting a family. Amid her return to professional commitments following their May wedding, Biles shared insights into their family planning during a Q&A session on her Instagram page held on July 17. Among various queries about her career and personal life, one fan inquired about their desire for children and the preferred number.

Biles confirmed their interest in having kids, revealing a lighthearted disagreement between her and Owens regarding the ideal number. She humorously mentioned, I would say 2 & Jonathan would say 3 is the perfect number. I don’t want to be outnumbered lol.

When she’s not busy practicing and sweating it out at the gym, or cheering for husband Jonathan Owens, Simone Biles loves unwinding with her fur babies back home. However, the past few weeks have proven to be anything but relaxing for the star gymnast. Coming clean, Biles confessed on her Instagram stories that her two dogs haven’t been on their best behavior.

Biles and Owens have three pups in total – Lilo, female, and Rambo and Zeus, males. She recently spoke up about the struggles of having two males in the house and how they “won’t stop marking” no matter what.

What started as a war to assert dominance has now turned into pure havoc in the gymnast’s house. Fighting over toys and space, the two Frenchie males have pushed her to the edge. Recently at her wits end, the Olympian made a tragic appeal to fans, asking if she should consider rehoming them.

However, there is a ray of hope. Just like any other dedicated pet parent, Biles seems to have decided to give the dogs another chance. The star posted a picture of both dogs innocently looking at the camera from their kennels from the backseat of a car. Rambo and Zeus were off to a “training camp”.

Since being neutered and going through obedience training didn’t give any results, the 7-time Olympic medalist and her NFL champion husband chose a different route.  And now, they hope for the best of situations.

How fur babies rule Simone Biles’ house

It’s no secret that the love Biles has for her dogs knows no bounds. They’re some of the most spoilt fur babies who have the gymnast and her NFL player husband wrapped around their little paws. Therefore, even when loud French bulldog snores ruin the gymnast’s sleep, she can’t help but make fun of it.

A few months ago, the decorated gymnast took to Instagram to share a sound byte of one of her dogs snoring loudly. Instead of getting annoyed, however, the star found the situation hilarious. Time and again, she has vouched for how her fur babies have made her life significantly better and helped her through tough times. And now, when they need to work through some issues, Biles has vowed to make things better by any means.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are pet parents of three precious furry children. The gymnastics G.O.A.T and her NFL player husband often take turns to care for their three French bulldogs. Lilo, Rambo, and Zeus are the beloved members of the family, but their companionship comes with a separate set of challenges.

Jonathan Owens plays as the NFL safety and is busy with the Green Bay Packers. His wife paused her Olympic training to turn a stay-at-home mom for the three pups. However, two of her pups have fallen out of love with each other and threatened the harmony in the Biles-Owens household. This prompted Simone Biles to make the heartbreaking decision of re-homing them.

Simone Biles keeps her fingers crossed

Simone Biles

Simone Biles surprised her 7.1 million fans today by sharing a picture of Zeus and Rambo in separate crates. Zeus belonged to Jonathan Owens, while Biles was single-parenting Rambo before the duo tied the knot. Surprisingly, the two pups did not gel with each other and were at each other’s throats all day long. Therefore, Simone Biles had no resort left but to send them to a training camp for rehabilitation. In the recent Instagram story, she put the two pups in crates on the back of the car. She captioned the story, “cutie boys off to training camp for 8 weeks crossing our fingers this helps”. This was a disappointing turn of events for the gymnastics queen, especially after Zeus and Rambo showed signs of warming up to each other just days prior.

Simone Biles had shared a picture of the two pups where they were lying close to each other in their respective cozy dog beds. She uploaded the picture with the caption, “And I love these lil sh*ts more than anything!!!!! If you know me my dogs are hella spoiled…. & I’m OBSESSED with my fur babies buuttttt”. However, she had to take a call to curb their alpha male tendencies.

Simone Biles’ tough decision

Simone Biles has been delaying the inevitable for over a year now. She could not bring herself to send them away. However, the two pups have been wreaking havoc in the home, and the situation just got out of hand in a recent incident. The most decorated gymnast recently updated that the two male dogs are in a constant standoff to assert their authority in their territory.

She polled her fans, asking, “Keep trying…” or “Re-home them”. She was at her wit’s end, with no other recourse. After trying every means of resolution, Biles was forced to make the tough decision with a heavy heart.

Novak Djokovic has been nominated for the World Sport Star Award at the 2023 BBC Sport Pesonality of the Year, the 70th edition of the award. Alongside the Serb, the likes of F1 champion Max Verstappen and Manchester City’s star striker Erling Haaland have also been nominated.

Novak Djokovic had a spectacular season in 2023, winning three out of the four Grand Slams. After winning the Australian Open and the French Open, the World No. 1 reached the final at Wimbledon, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz. He bounced back in style at the US Open, though, taking home his record-breaking 24th Major title.

No one in the Open Era has now won more Slams than Djokovic, while only Margaret Court is on par with him in all-time tennis history. The 36-year-old added two Masters 1000 trophies to his name this year and won the year-ending ATP Finals for a record seventh time as well. By doing so, he secured the year-end World No. 1 spot, and is currently on his record 402nd week at the top of the rankings.

Verstappen, meanwhile, clinched his third consecutive F1 Driver’s Championship this year. Haaland broke the Premier League Golden Boot and the European Golden Shoe in the 2022-23 season, and set the record for the most goals scored in a single PL season in his debut season with Manchester City.

Three other players nominated in the category are: US gymnast Simone Biles, who claimed a record-equalling sixth all-around title in Antwerp, footballer Aitana Bonmati, who was the Player of the Tournament in Spain’s World Cup title run, and rugby star Siya Kolisi, who led South Africa to their fourth World Cup.

The winner of the World Sport Star Award will be decided by voting, which closes on 12 December 2023.

Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens and Olympic gymnast Simone Biles engaged in a sweet moment with a kiss and fist bump before the Packers’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Biles, eagerly waiting on the sideline, greeted Owens with a smile, and the couple exchanged affectionate gestures before he took the field. Last week, Biles had shared a video on Twitter showcasing Owens’ touchdown-saving play.

The kiss brought Owens luck, as the Packers defeated the Chiefs 27-19. Fans pointed out that the same ritual helped Mahomes to win the Super Bowl 2023 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The 27-year-old quarterback and Brittany, high school sweethearts, married in March of the previous year and have two children together.

The couple’s love story began in Texas during high school, and after Patrick proposed in September 2020, they became inseparable. The engagement coincided with Patrick receiving his championship ring from Super Bowl LIV.

Taylor Swift attended the game

Grammy-winning artist Taylor Swift attended the Chiefs’ loss to the Packers, marking her fifth in-person appearance this season to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Swift watched from a suite at Lambeau Field. This was Swift’s first Chiefs game attendance since October 7, following which the team had a 4-0 record with her presence, and Kelce boasted impressive stats.

Despite being a positive influence on the Chiefs previously, Swift’s presence couldn’t bring luck on Sunday as they succumbed to the Packers.
