However, let’s set the record straight: Simone Biles is not pregnant. The rumors are just that—rumors.
This isn’t the first time Biles has been the subject of pregnancy rumors. While she typically prefers to brush off such gossip, she decided to address similar rumors head-on in December 2023.
Taking to Instagram, the 27-year-old Olympic gold medalist responded to comments congratulating her on a supposed baby bump.
“I hate that I even have to address this,” she began.
“But please stop commenting on this photo or my Instagram in general about me being ‘pregnant.”
Biles, who married Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens in April 2023, made it clear in her post: “I’m not pregnant”.
As for the whispers about her potential retirement, they stem from a cryptic comment she made after winning her second gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics on August 1.
Simone said “Rebeca can have the next one” 🥹❤️

Following her victory in the individual all-around competition, Biles joked about needing a break from her Brazilian competitor, Rebeca Andrade, who won silver.
“I don’t wanna compete with Rebeca no more—I’m tired,” Biles quipped to reporters after the competition. “She’s way too close.”
She was heard also saying, “Rebeca can have the next one.”
Could this be a hint that Biles is contemplating retirement? With two gold medals already secured, Biles continues to cement her legacy as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time. So onlytime will tell.
