Simone Biles captured the world’s attention during the 2024 Paris Olympics. She played a crucial role in helping Team USA win gold and became the first woman to ever win the all-around title in non-consecutive Olympics.

After winning three golds and one silver medal, Biles returned home as the most-decorated gymnast, male of female, in U.S. history. Following her devastating run at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to her dominant performance in Paris, the 27-year-old was named Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year in January.

Simone Biles shared shocking bill she received at Paris nightclub after buying just one bottle of champagne

Olympics great Simone Biles shared details of the shocking amount that a nightclub tried to charge her for a bottle of champagne after Paris 2024.

Team USA legend Biles cemented herself as one of the greatest athletes of all time at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games after taking home three gold medals and one silver, becoming the oldest Olympic all-around champion at age 27.

Following her success in Paris, Biles became the most successful US gymnast of all time with an astonishing total of 11 Olympic medals and, of course, she wanted to celebrate her achievements in the famous nightclubs of Paris.

However, the Olympian later revealed that her time sampling Paris’ nightlife wasn’t as positive as she had hoped, as one club tried to charge her a breathtaking amount for a bottle of champagne after the Olympic closing ceremony.

The American gymnast Simone Biles and her husband, NFL star Jonathan Owens are having the most amazing time during their holiday on African soil. 

The couple recently travelled across the world where they spent a week in the African bush, making memories on Safari while embracing all that nature has to offer during their honeymoon in South Africa. 

Taking to Instagram, the couple shared that one of the main reasons why they selected South Africa as their destination of choice, was because of Jonathan’s big love for animals and wildlife and wanted to come experience what it was like going on a real-life safari. 

But while their time in the bush had come to an end, it was now time for luxury. The happy weds are currently in Cape Town where they took time to explore several tourist attractions from exploring the City through a bird’s eye view in a helicopter to visiting one of the seven wonders of the world – Table Mountain. 

Despite being accustomed to the leather strapped ball used in the NFL, Jonathan recently had the opportunity to become familiar with one of the country’s top sports – rugby. 

During their visit to the famous Boulder’s Beach where they were warmly welcomed by penguins, locals later offered the couple the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the game by teaching them how to pass a rugby ball. 

Other famous attractions include exploring the Cape Winelands and going horseback riding. 

Simone Biles Drops 4-Word Message as Clemson Tigers’ Gymnast Performs the Biles First Time in NCAA History

How often does gymnastics witness a moment so groundbreaking that even Simone Biles takes notice? Not often. It took first in NCAA history! What? The Biles I, one of the sport’s hardest skills, was attempted and landed flawlessly. Yes! Under the Friday night lights, history was rewritten. The Clemson crowd held its breath as a Tigers gymnast sprinted down the runway, launched into the air, and stuck the impossible. A skill so rare that only four women had ever completed it. But now, college gymnastics had a new groundbreaker—and the GOAT herself had something to say!

That trailblazer? Brie Clark. The Clemson redshirt junior delivered the performance of her life at Littlejohn Coliseum, leaving the crowd in awe in a dominant win over Texas Woman’s University and the University of New Hampshire. Biles, who first performed the skill over a decade ago, doesn’t hand out praise lightly. But seeing Clark land it flawlessly in a NCAA meet for the first time in 12 long years? That deserved a response! Simone Biles took to Instagram story to share the video and her caption wrote: “I KNOW THAT’S RIGHT (clap emoji)”.

And yes, Biles knows a thing or two about it! She was just a teenager—fresh off her first national title—when she stunned the world at the 2013 World Championships. That night, she soared across the floor, twisting through the air with a double layout that ended in a blind half-turn. The move was so daring, so technically brilliant, that it earned a name of its own.

What makes The Biles I so terrifying? Unlike a regular double layout, where gymnasts rotate twice before landing, this version demands something extra—a half-twist added while still in the second flip. That means Clark wasn’t spotting the floor until the very last millisecond. One miscalculation? A crash landing. One hesitation? Disaster.

Yet, when Brie Clark launched into the skill, there was no doubt. She twisted, she flipped, and when her feet hit the mat? Perfection. History in Collegiate Gymnastics and 5 overall to do so after Simone Biles, Trinity Thomas (USA), Hillary Heron (PAN), and London Phillips (USA).

Five iconic Gymnastics elements that bear Simone Biles’ name

There’s something special about a gymnast pushing the limits of human possibility, defying gravity, and stamping their name into history—literally. Simone Biles has done that not once, not twice, but five times! Five skills across different events have her name on them, a feat that strengthens her as the GOAT. But what makes these skills so special? And how did she get them?

Biles I (Floor Exercise)

It was 2013. A 16 year old Simone Biles stepped onto the world stage, a newbie to many but already a big deal. Then she did something no one had ever seen before—soared through a double layout, twisted mid air, and landed with precision. The crowd gasped, the judges took note, and they forever named the skill the Biles I.

A double layout with a half twist on the second flip; this was her signature—power, control, and innovation. It was the first skill to bear her name, but as history would prove, it was just the beginning.

Biles I (Vault)

Fast forward to 2018. Biles, already a legend, debuted a new vault at the World Championships. This vault starts with a roundoff on the springboard, a half-twist before mounting, and finishes with a front somersault, double twist. The judges took note. The world took note. It was given a difficulty rating of 6.4, tying it with the Produnova as the second-most difficult vault in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics.

Biles (Balance Beam)

The balance beam is where gymnasts show their grace under pressure. But Biles? She turned it into a show. she did a skill that looked almost impossible—a double twisting double salto dismount, the hardest beam dismount ever done at the time. Biles first unveiled this skill in 2019 before performing it at the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials. According to USA Today, she no longer competes the Biles beam due to its low scoring value. FIG’s decision to assign an H difficulty rating sparked controversy, with many arguing it was undervalued.

Biles II (Vault)

What’s harder than a Yurchenko vault? A Yurchenko double pike—a move so dangerous no woman had ever attempted it. Until Simone Biles. At the 2021 US Classic, she surprised the world by completing this impossible skill. Two pike flips after launching off the vault? Unthinkable—until she did it. She made history again in 2023 when she landed it at the World Championships and officially put her name on the hardest vault in women’s gymnastics.

The luxurious South African safari has ended for Simone Biles and her husband Jonathan Owens. In the last several weeks, the couple was seen on the jungle safari, in the sand-filled regions, and among the locals. In one such moment, Jonathan witnessed something remarkable. He saw Simone giving motherly love to an orphan in an orphanage. For a moment, the time shifted to the early days when the gymnast had a difficult time in her foster house and she had no one to take care of her. However, during their delayed honeymoon, the couple experienced another uncommon thing.

On February 28, Jonathan shared two clips on his Instagram story. Those uploads had one thing in common: the presence of a snowy background and huge mountains. Furthermore, in the clip, the fans had the chance to watch ski racers coming down the slope. The NFL safety captioned the clip with words, “Feel like I’m watching hot tub Time Machine lol.” However, Simone shared a clip almost similar to Jonathan’s one. It also had amateur ski racers coming down the slope.

After two years wed, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and her NFL player hubby Jonathan Owens are basking in their love during a honeymoon trip to South Africa.

Biles has been documenting her trip’s exciting, adventurous, and romantic tidbits on Instagram. So far, the world-renowned gymnast has served safari chic and gotten up close with elephants, giraffes, lions, and other wildlife. According to People, Biles shared a photo on her Instagram Stories of an extremely close-by lion that was seemingly photographed at night. Biles wrote, “Not gonna lie, I almost sh*t myself,” regarding the thrilling encounter with the prowling big cat.

Elsewhere on her feed, the athlete has been playing into the safari experience and scenery around her by relaxing poolside in a leopard print bikini and tankini.

For most of her career, Simone Biles has controlled the narrative around her greatness. With 11 Olympic medals, 30 World Championship titles, and a legacy as the most decorated gymnast in history, she has spent a lifetime perfecting the art of balance. On the beam, in the air, in the public eye—each step, each move calibrated with precision. But balance is hard to maintain when the internet tilts reality. In recent weeks, the seven-time Olympic Gold medalist has found herself at the center of an unsettling digital storm, not because of a new gravity-defying skill, but because of something far more insidious, that is Fabricated pregnancy announcements featuring Biles and her husband, NFL safety Jonathan Owens!

Biles found herself at the center of an AI-generated misinformation storm on Facebook, which received a fair amount of backlash in the Gymnastics community.

The backlash erupted after a Reddit user shared their disturbing experience: “I’m trying really hard to break my Meta usage, but while scrolling FB (looking for a family member’s obituary) I was shown three different AI-generated posts congratulating Simone and Jonathan on being pregnant?” The user went on to describe how the posts were not just text-based rumors but altered images: “They shopped a baby bump on her [Simone Biles], one even showed her in a hospital holding a newborn.”

Calling it “so creepy and invasive and icky,” the user’s post quickly gained traction, with many echoing their frustration over Facebook’s role in spreading misinformation. “May I just repeat that this is so creepy and invasive and icky, one of the million reasons we all need to ditch FB/IG/Threads.”

Since Simone Biles married in 2023, speculation has followed her like a shadow. Pregnancy rumors? Outfit choices sparking debate? Time and again, simple moments turn into conversations. It was a Monday night in December 2023. Biles was at MetLife Stadium, bundled up in an oversized army jacket, a body-hugging brown jumpsuit, and a beanie sporting her husband Jonathan Owens’ jersey number as the Green Bay Packers faced off against the New York Giants.

Simone Biles is right in the middle of her successful Gold Over America Tour, but she is still taking time to rest between shows – and she recently gave fans a sneak peek behind the scenes of what that looks like.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Biles, 27, posted a series of snapshots of her downtime between performances, captioning the collection of photos with “Recharging in Charlotte, NC.”

In the photos, Biles is seen getting some sun in a striped bikini, toasting with cocktails along with husband Jonathan Owens, doing a little reading by the pool and capturing moments with a few friends.

The highlight of the photo series, however, was a luxurious gold bouquet that Biles held up with an added caption of three white heart emojis.

On Oct. 25, fans will finally get to see the continuation of the popular Netflix docuseries Simone Biles: Rising, with all new episodes that capture the 7-time Olympic gold medalist’s history-making performance at the Paris Games this summer.

“We are all the authors of our own journeys, and I am in a place in my life where I’m comfortable with who I am and what I’ve been through as an athlete, but most of all, as a person,” Biles said in a statement ahead of the premiere of the series. “Gymnastics is what I do but it’s not who I am, and I’m excited for people to see another side of me outside of competition.”

“I know there are young girls out there who look to me for inspiration and are faced with similar challenges, and my hope is that this documentary helps to empower them to be true to who they are and never give up on their dreams,” she added in a statement.

“Consider this my postcard from South Africa,” Simone Biles captioned her Instagram post, and honestly, who can blame her? She and her husband, Jonathan Owens, are living their best lives on their belated honeymoon, nearly two years after their quick courthouse wedding in April 2023. The couple had a wild time at Jabulani Safari in Limpopo, spotting everything from leopards to lions to rhinos—and yes, they even saw a giraffe or two, probably giving them a side-eye. After that, they wound down with some sundowners, because what’s a safari without a drink to go with the sunset, right?

Duties and distance: Both these things made Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens delay their honeymoon. The couple got married in 2023 but didn’t get the time to go on their romantic getaway until now. Biles announced it on social media a few days ago and wrote, “off to our honeymoon … 2 years later.” They are currently on a safari trip in a wildlife reserve in South Africa! In fact, the gymnast has been sharing her excitement at seeing wild animals like lions, leopards, and elephants on social media.
