Simone Biles, the extraordinary athlete who has won 7 Olympic medals, captivated the world when she withdrew from the Tokyo Games in 2020 to prioritize her mental health. This brave decision shed light on the importance of mental well-being for athletes. Biles experienced a condition called the “twisties,” where she lost her sense of body movement in the air, making it incredibly dangerous for her to compete.
Since then, Biles has focused on her personal life and mental well-being. She recently tied the knot with the love of her life and is now ready to make her comeback in gymnastics. Fans are eagerly awaiting her return, which is scheduled for the 2023 US Classic in August. Biles will be joined by other notable athletes, including Olympic gold medalist Sunisa Lee and floor champion Jade Carey.
However, before she became the incredible athlete we know today, Biles had a difficult childhood. Raised in a family struggling with substance abuse, she and her siblings experienced hunger and were placed in foster care. Fortunately, Biles and her sister were adopted by their grandparents, while their older siblings found a loving home with their aunt.
Biles’ passion for gymnastics began at a young age when she visited a local gymnasium on a field trip. Her natural talent caught the attention of professionals, even though she didn’t see anything special in herself at the time. With the unwavering support of her parents, she flourished in the sport and became one of the most successful sportswomen in history.
In a new chapter of her life, Biles recently got married to NFL player Jonathan Owens in two beautiful ceremonies. The couple now resides in Biles’ stunning Houston home, which has a modern and minimalist design. Although her parents may not resonate with the “LA house” style, Biles proudly reminds them that it’s her house, reflecting her own unique taste.
Despite her current home, Biles and her husband have also announced their plans to build a new home together. Sharing their excitement on social media, the couple posted pictures of the plot where their dream house will stand. Construction is underway, and fans eagerly anticipate the final result.
As Biles continues to embrace her thriving life, she is grateful for her supportive family, her loving husband, and her unwavering passion for gymnastics. At just 26 years old, she has a promising future ahead and is expected to continue dominating the gymnastics world for years to come.
