Simone Biles has shared that she is recovering from a recent health scare of unknown cause.
In a post on her Instagram Stories this Saturday, the gymnast explained, “Normally, I’m quite private about personal matters, but this incident was too significant to keep to myself.”
Biles, 28, elaborated, “Facing a near-death experience wasn’t something I expected this week.”
She described the ordeal as one of the most terrifying moments in her life, especially since her husband, Jonathan Owens, was away in Indianapolis for NFL preseason practice with the Colts.
Having spent the week recuperating in bed, Biles assured her fans that she would eventually share more details about the incident.
The decorated gymnast thanked “close circle” who “checked in, visited and or sent flowers.”
Biles followed up with a series of Stories showcasing bouquets sent to her before concluding with a shot of herself in bed.
“I’ll be here,” Biles wrote.
Despite keeping the details private, the gymnast, who tied the knot with Owens, 30, in 2023, has given her social media followers a glimpse into her life over the years.
In April, Biles took to TikTok to share the shocking amount she spent getting glam done for an event with a professional team.
Biles confessed in the video that between her hair and makeup artists and a stylist, the “grand total” came to $23,000.
“I just want to know, is that f—king normal?”
She quipped, “If that’s the new norm, y’all can have it. Y’all will never see me at another event.”
“I’m going to sit my ass right here where it’s free. I’ve been kind of spiraling since then.”
Asking fans whether or not she had been taken advantage of financially, Biles told viewers, “I just need to know if this is normal.”
She stated that “there’s no way you are paying these prices each and every time … there’s just no way.”
Biles last stepped out on April 20 for the Laureaus World Sports Awards in Madrid.
The Gold medalist stunned in a minidress from Vietnamese brand Cong Tri.
Biles was styled by Marc Desir for the night out.
“Basically the Oscars… but make it sports,” she captioned the photos on Instagram at the time. “First @laureussport World Sports Awards as an ambassador and I’m feeling inspired by every story in the room.”
