Simone Biles, the queen of gymnastics, has had a stellar 2023. Throughout this journey, she has shown grace and elegance, both in her performance and style.  Biles graced the gymnastics mat, in her sparkling leotards, with her hair neatly styled and makeup always on point. However, beyond her dominance on the floor, the sport’s queen has now ventured into the digital world and marked her presence by becoming a beauty vlogger.

She often candidly shares insights into her training through gym vlogs, and training videos with her teammates, giving fans a glimpse behind the scenes. With her return to the national and international stages, Biles also actively posted “Get Ready With Me” (GRWM) videos to TikTok, showcasing her remarkable makeup skills and sharing the process behind the elegant looks we see of gymnasts on the mat. These vlogs have garnered her millions of views and likes. However, in a recent update, Biles the “beauty guru” was bested by technology.

Simone Biles bested by technology

In a recent Instagram Threads post, Biles expressed her frustration. She wrote, “I did a GRWM the morning of Vault & Bar finals, and I went to edit it, and the sound is gone… JUST GONE… 🤬🤬🤬.” This is the same day when Biles was surpassed by Rebeca Andrade of Brazil in the Vault finals at the World Gymnastics Championships. Despite a fall, she still managed to secure a silver medal but sadly did not make it to the podium for Uneven Bars.

On that same day, Biles looked stunning in a sparkly red leotard. Unfortunately, as fans eagerly await the video of her getting ready for this look, it seems that this technological struggle might cost them a glimpse behind the scenes. On her Threads post fans also stepped in to help and offered suggestions, such as “Do a voiceover,” so that she could still provide the video with her own take on the process. This anticipated video could be a valuable addition to Biles’ series of beauty vlogs

Biles the gymnastics beauty guru

Simone Biles

Simone Biles has often taken her fans into her world through candid videos recorded in hotel bathrooms or her hotel rooms this year. It began when she shared a video on Day 2 of the Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships with her best friend and fellow teammate Zoe Miller. They grooved to hip-hop music and shared fun moments behind the camera, showing their makeup routines. Biles showcased her step-by-step makeup process, from applying primer to foundation to highlighting and contouring, with Miller closely following her lead.

Another beauty vlog came after the 2023 Worlds and Pan Am Games Selection Camp, once again with her best friend, Zoe Miller where the two joked and playfully showed the bond they share. Then weeks later Biles also shared a video directly from Antwerp, Belgium ahead of podium training at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. In the video, Biles candidly expressed her nervousness and captioned it as “a whole bunch of word vomit because of nerves 🫠.” She opened up about her anxieties and how her husband, Jonathan Owens, helped ease her fears and nerves despite the miles between them.

Biles has now returned from Antwerp as the most decorated gymnast ever, with four gold medals and one silver medal. Despite her confession fans hold out hope that videos like the one she lost the sound for will still be posted, giving them a glimpse behind the scenes of these iconic moments in Belgium.

Simone Biles and her pet dogs Lilo and Rambo were recently featured in pet nutrition brand Nulo’s campaign “Fuel Incredible.” By collaborating with the brand, the legendary gymnast shared that it was vital for pet parents to take care of the nutrition of their pets just like themselves.

Simone Biles, a four-time Olympic gold medallist, is a devoted dog lover. She welcomed Lilo into her life in 2017, followed by Rambo in 2020. In several interviews, the legendary gymnast has expressed her strong attachment to her pets. For Biles, Lilo and Rambo are her pillars of support during life’s highs and lows.

Apart from sharing a great bond with her pet dogs, Biles also cares for their nutrition. Recently, she collaborated with Nulo to promote its high-protein nutrition food for pets. Nevertheless, her dogs were also featured in the “Fuel Incredible” campaign encouraging pet parents to feed the right foods to their fur babies.

Moreover, at the event of her collaboration with Nulo, Simone Biles told Brand Innovators,

Biles stated that she was thankful to Nulo for its high-protein food that consists of lamb, turkey, and salmon. Moreover, as a cherry on top, her fur babies love its taste.

Simone Biles dominated the Sportpaleis in Belgium. However, her journey to Antwerp was about more than just gymnastics medals. She had the time of her life, surrounded by a like-minded team. The Team USA gymnastics women ensured their trip to the diamond capital consisted not only of hard work but also of letting their hair down and enjoying the vibrant city. Stories and highlights uploaded by each of them showed their outings and enjoying the best the city had to offer.

Biles even took to Instagram to share the little moments that were special to her in a photo dump on her profile. She posted pictures from Belgian pancakes to pizza, even the chalk holder, with empowering messages like “You’re awesome” and “And you’re doing great.” She also shared moments of joy with group photos of her teammates and a shot with the youngest member, Joscelyn Roberson, at Antwerp’s iconic City Hall and the Brabo monument. Amidst these fun moments, a cryptic message from the queen had emerged.

Hidden in the carousel was a picture that wasn’t a place or a thing, but rather a message. Biles shared a quote with a pink background that read, “reminder: It’s gonna be okay.” This image in slide 6 stood out because, amid all the fun, frolic, and hard work, it served as a reminder not only to Biles but also to her followers

Biles had to go through so much to get to where she is. Her return to Antwerp came after a two-year break, a hiatus caused by the multitude of challenges she faced in 2021, from twisties to mental health issues. And her return to the world stage was also accompanied by its fair share of challenges, including bouts of anxiety.

Admitting her nervousness in Belgium

Biles herself admitted to the anxiety she faced in Antwerp. She took to TikTok and shared a “Get Ready With Me” video in which she opened up about her challenges. She even said, “I was so nervous last night and so anxious, and I don’t know why. I guess it’s normal. It means you’re prepared.” She also shared how her husband, Jonathan Owens, helped her realize this despite being far away.

The hidden message from Biles was proof that, through all the moments, she needed reassurance that indeed, everything would be alright. After all, the support she received and these reminders helped her clinch five medals at Antwerp, four of which were gold. Biles’ message resonated with her fans as well

One fan commented on her post, saying, “I could use that reminder in picture 6 every day. My anxiety is terrible.” Another said, “Thank you for showing the world what is possible when you put your mental health first.” Biles not only helped herself; she further shared the message with all that, indeed, “It’s going to be okay.”

Simone Biles, fresh after making history in the gymnastics World Championships, and her husband, Jonathan Owens, are on the brink of realizing their dream of moving into a brand-new marital home in Texas.

From the moment they stood on the bare plot of land, they’ve taken their fans and followers on an exciting journey through the construction of their dream home via social media.

Continuing the tour, the newlywed wrote, “Can’t decide if this is the hallway of my dreams or the ones that are in my nightmares lmao,” beside a photo that showed a door frame and high ceilings starting to take shape.

Biles and Owens legally married at the 1910 Harris County Courthouse in Houston in April, just one month before tying the knot again in an elaborate ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

The destination wedding was attended by 140 guests and Biles donned four different dresses throughout her big day

In an exclusive chat with PEOPLE ahead of the wedding, Biles revealed she was “actually very surprised” when Owens proposed to her in Feb. 2022, explaining, “I didn’t know it was coming. He’s very good at secrets.”

“I started shaking really bad because then I was like, ‘Wait, hold up. What if he proposes?’ But I didn’t want to get my hopes up … and then he did it,” she continued. “And I was just like, I kind of had a feeling, but I wasn’t sure.”

Biles was back in the city of Belgium after a decade, as a seasoned veteran she also focused on having fun. With the numerous attractions that enthralled visitors, Biles recently shared one of her own delights.

Simone Biles reminisces this one thing about World Championship 2023

Simone Biles

The 26-year-old debuted the Yurchenko double pike on Worlds opening day following three golds at the 2023 US Gymnastics Championships. Going by the rotation standings, Simone was the only promising podium top finisher despite the narrow margins. Biles won 5 medals including four golds that boosted her Worlds alloy collection to 27! However, just recently she revealed how she wasn’t missing any of this. Biles shared a fun update on her Twitter that read, “still dreaming about the waffles from belgium.”

Biles is accustomed to high expectations as the best gymnast in the United States. With the rigorous training regimens for elite athletes, they must follow stringent diet programs. She obediently follows her coach’s recommendations and controls her urges in order to maintain her active lifestyle. Although, waffles and Belgian chocolate are two of Simone’s favorite sweet pleasures. Allowed to enjoy things or even when not, sometimes she breaks this rule and gives in to her whims.

However, in response to a question on her best non-gymnastics memory from Belgium, Biles went back to her early years and the food restrictions. She said, “Back then, it was a little bit more strict. So we weren’t allowed to eat that stuff.” At 16, she showed immense self-control being a fresh face on the global mats although taking four medals. She’s back and stronger than ever, defying all limitations and sometimes even taking cheat breaks! When asked what was something she truly keeps close to her heart, her answer delighted even the Antwerp host.

What memory does Simone Biles cherish from Worlds?

Ahead of her sixth appearance at Worlds venue in Antwerp, Belgium, Biles engaged in a chat with @Antwerp2023. Biles thought back on her favorite non-gymnastic parts of Antwerp. She really treasures a pair of earrings that her mother, Nellie Biles gave her after her success in the competition back in 2013. The earrings, set with expensive diamonds, were purchased in Antwerp, which is known as the world’s center for the diamond trade.

This heartwarming discovery highlights her emotional connection to the city outside of the sports world and gives her relationship with it a more intimate feel. The emcee concurs, calling it a fascinating and entertaining story that highlights the city’s reputation for fine gems. The Instagram photo emphasizes Antwerp’s diverse appeal and shows that Biles’ admiration goes beyond the mouthwatering cuisine the city is known for

Simone Biles just took a trip down history to visit the venue where she kick-started her gymnastics career. And it’s better to say the gymnastics legend got more seasoned with age. At the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championship, the GOAT earned her 34th medal across Olympic and World Championships. Moreover, with her 6th World Title claim, she proved her prowess again. Shortly after, Biles bagged her all-around title, floor, and beam gold. Despite considering the floor as her biggest fear factor, she earned the title (6th world apparatus) of being the only gymnast to have secured it.

Even after her return from the iconic Belgium ground, she prioritized her mental health. But, the big event reminds her now and then that another comeback is pending. Biles has established herself as the oldest woman to participate in the World Championships in more than half a decade. Keeping her Twisties history in mind, the 7X Olympic medalist focused on her professional commitments on a low.

Future feats of Simone Biles

Simone Biles resorted to her Instagram handle to announce the expected. For a gymnast of such stature, staying away from the gym for long is unlikely Hence, the sequential story updates asserted the skill-sharpening ritual of the GOAT. The story reads, “back at it”, with the US flag in the background. Though unconfirmed, the venue looked like her usual WCC, where she trains and inspire her fellow mates.

Simone Biles walked home with 4 golds from the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championship. Little did she know that her husband would surprise her as promised. While the 4X Olympic gold medalist set the podium ablaze, her parents, Nellie and Ron, clasped their hands and cheered on her. However, as she slayed with the team gold (169.729), the all-around title (58.399), the bronze and floor title, a part of her heart yearned for home. After getting the special message of “see you in six weeks, ” Owens’ special gift landed at her doorstep. But, besides Jonathan Owens who wishes to make Biles’ days as special as possible despite the distance, the legend has a long list of admirers working towards the same.

It’s no surprise that a gymnast of such a measure rules in cash as well. After bagging several lucrative brand deals, the 7X Olympic medalist makes occasional social appearances for promotional reasons. The star gymnast of GK Elite was recently seen giving a big shout-out to another favorite brand of hers.

Simone Biles has a gem in her wardrobe

The 17.8 billion dollar worth Gucci, the luxury fashion brand, manufactures all things nice. From premium shoes to exclusive handbags, the iconic brand even makes the gymnastic GOAT fall weak. Oftentimes posing in oversized hoodies or “so far so gucci” gym wear, the 8 US National Title holder has another special update.

Simone took to her Instagram handle to post a story featuring a bouquet of colorful flowers. But this time the bouquet didn’t come from her husband Jonathan Owens. It came from Gucci to celebrate her victories. The caption read, “from my girl mel & team gucci.” The appealing bouquet boasted roses, some gorgeous gladioluses and a few more exotic beauties. From the look of it, anybody’s mood would get lit up instantaneously.

Besides the recent floral blessing, the brand-athlete was taken back to her older days when she captioned her post as “G U C C I N I G H T” with her beloved. However, it was her beloved Mr. Owens who came up with the gifting idea first.

Jonathan Owens picks the best gifts

After a long wait, the power duo finally reunited for a date night. Due to individual commitments, they mostly limited their relationship to social media banters and cute posts. But the couple never leaves each other’s sides. In a recent story, the Packers legend stepped out for a “Date Night” with his love. Besides wholesome food and conversations, the highlight of the night was a bouquet. The Olympian shared the photo of the extraordinary gift she received from her spouse. In her Instagram story, her pool was visible in the background, probably a glimpse of her backyard. The netizens adored the massive bouquet with burgundy chrysanthemums, light orange garden roses, purple calla lilies, lavender peonies and other flowers. Giving it a magnificent autumn feel, the gift complimented Simone’s caption, “Jonathan bought me the prettiest flowers.”

As both of them are about to disperse again, the recent dream house update grabbed a decent media attention. While Paris plans are afoot, Owens’ NFL journey has a lot in store as well

The World Artistic Championship in Antwerp witnessed USA dominance. In the Sportpaleis arena, time stood still as Simone Biles and her team secured gold in Women’s gymnastics, making headlines.

Shilese Jones added to the glory by securing bronze with a score of 56.332.  Biles, with 34 world and Olympic medals, is now a legendary gymnast in history. Along similar lines, a significant moment came when Men’s Gymnastics grabbed bronze after a 9-year gap.
