It’s been a busy past week for United States Olympic star gymnast Simone Biles who gave the “Riders Up” call at the Kentucky Derby on May 3 before attending the Met Gala just a few days later.
The seven-time Olympic gold medalist delivered a flawless performance, but it’s what she said about her future with husband Jonathan Owens, a defensive back for the Chicago Bears, that caught everyone’s attention at the time.
“We are obviously gonna put them in sports in the beginning so they get their bearings and learn,” Simone told E! News. “But other than that, we don’t really care what they do as long as they find their passion…I’ve always wanted to be a mother, have kids and just like [Jonathan], he’s always wanted to be a dad, so it’s just really exciting.”
Fans got a bit overzealous, suggesting she was pregnant, which Biles shut down immediately. “I am not pregnant, I never was pregnant therefore I never had a baby. Please stop asking me and falling for AI,” she said plainly.
Fast forward just a few days and Biles is back in the headlines thanks to a recent change to her physical appearance. She showed off a change to her hair with a shoutout, “slayyyyyy, she did her big one mhmmmkayyy,” she said in the caption of her post on her Instagram story.
During an interview in August 2024, Biles admitted she wants to have kids with her husband, but their professional lives won’t be taking a back seat.
“Me and Jonathan always talk about kids,” she said during an appearance on Today. “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.”
