Simone Biles is undeniably one of the most iconic names in Olympic history. Her dominance in gymnastics, her collection of gold medals, and her inspiring journey have all contributed to her worldwide recognition. But lately, the athlete is making headlines for reasons beyond the balance beam or floor routine. A recent tropical vacation has sparked a wave of online speculation, and it has little to do with sports.
During her vacation, Simone posted several photos to social media, where she appeared to be enjoying the sun and sea with her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens. The couple was in San Pedro, Belize, and while fans were excited to see the couple enjoying some well-deserved downtime, many were quick to notice what they believed to be a significant change in Simone’s appearance. In particular, fans pointed to photos of her in a lime-green bikini, suggesting that she may have undergone breast augmentation.
The speculation gained more traction when Dana Omari, a well-known figure on social media who frequently discusses celebrity cosmetic procedures, reposted one of Simone’s photos with a caption that read, “Simone Biles with the breast aug!! She looks incredible.” This comment further fueled public conversation, with thousands of followers chiming in to express their thoughts, admiration, and curiosity.
Despite all the buzz, Simone Biles has not made any public comments to confirm or deny the rumors. This silence is not unusual for celebrities who often find themselves at the center of speculation. In the past, Simone has shown a willingness to talk about cosmetic enhancements, but always on her own terms.
In fact, just last year, she opened up about a procedure she tried: baby Botox. In a casual “get ready with me” video, Biles spoke candidly about the experience. Baby Botox is a technique that uses smaller amounts of Botox and targets specific facial areas, aiming for a more subtle result. For Simone’s 27th birthday, she decided to give it a try, focusing on her T-zone.
However, her experience with baby Botox wasn’t entirely positive. “I did not like it,” she admitted. She explained that while practicing, she began to notice some strange effects. “I would be standing there in practice and my eyebrow would randomly go like this,” she said, mimicking the movement by lifting one brow. Teammates would point out that her brow had moved, but she couldn’t do anything to stop it. That unexpected reaction was enough to make her swear off Botox for now. She shared that she’s regained full mobility in her face and has no immediate plans to try it again.
Beyond the topic of cosmetic enhancements, Simone has spoken about how her relationship with beauty has evolved over the years. As both a public figure and a woman constantly under the microscope, she has navigated changes in beauty standards, personal preferences, and social pressures.
“My relationship with beauty has changed a lot over time, sometimes with the trends and sometimes not,” she said in an interview. While she appreciates certain aspects of beauty culture, she’s also learned to value her natural appearance. “I would still say my personal preference is always having a clean face and just being confident in who I am,” she continued. Although she often wears semi-permanent lashes, even when not wearing makeup, she emphasizes the importance of loving one’s natural face. “It’s really special to fall in love with what your natural face looks like,” she said.
Simone also acknowledged that society is beginning to shift its views on beauty, particularly in how women are perceived in the public eye. “I do think that beauty standards are changing when it comes to that,” she said. “It’s okay to not be wearing as much makeup when we’re out there performing, because that’s not the main focus.”
Her confidence, however, did not always come easily. Like many young women, especially in the public eye, Simone was subjected to harsh criticism early in her career. She recalls being body-shamed for things completely unrelated to her performance. “They focused on my hair. They focused on how big my legs were,” she remembered. But she’s learned to appreciate her body for what it does, not how it looks. “God made me this way, and I feel like if I didn’t have these legs or these calves, I wouldn’t be able to tumble as high as I can and have all of these moves named after me.”
As for her athletic future, questions remain about whether she’ll compete in the 2028 Olympics. In an interview with French publication L’Équipe, she said, “2028 seems so far away, and my body is aging. I felt it in Paris.” She described the toll that recent competitions have taken on her. “I went back to the \[Olympic] village, I took the elevator, and my body literally collapsed. I was sick for 10 days.” The physical exhaustion was so intense that she experienced body aches for three full days after her last event.
These reflections hint that while Biles is still a competitor at heart, she’s becoming more mindful of the limits of her body and the toll of high-level competition. It’s clear she’s balancing a desire to keep pushing with an understanding of her own well-being.
In the end, whether or not the plastic surgery rumors are true, Simone Biles appears to be living life on her own terms. She’s spending time with loved ones, setting boundaries, and continuing to inspire people not only through her athleticism but also her honesty about self-image, aging, and confidence. And maybe that’s what makes her such a powerful role model. Her journey is not just about flips and gold medals—it’s about growth, self-love, and owning her story.
