Simone Biles BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Simone Biles has been the center of both athletic and cultural conversation in the past few days, her post-Olympic life as magnetic as her competition days. After cementing her legend with a record 11th Olympic medal at the Paris 2024 Games, she shifted focus to healing, reflection, and new ventures. According to the Olympics Podcast, she’s been “working very closely with Friends of the Children, Make a Wish Foundation, Athleta,” while also teasing major moves into the fashion and beauty industries—though she remains tight-lipped, insisting, “Some of the things I can’t talk about, but they are in the works, and it’s gonna be really exciting,” as revealed in Essentially Sports. Biles hasn’t left the gymnastics world behind; she’s actively supporting future talent and was recently seen cheering for her training partner Joscelyn Roberson at the 2025 US Gymnastics Championships in New Orleans, sharing videos of Roberson’s routines and beaming with pride for her Texas training center, World Champions Center, as mentioned by Sportskeeda.
Her social media presence, though, is a study in high-profile highs and lows. Recently, a well-intended Instagram post from her trip to the British Virgin Islands went viral, with fans worldwide eager to suggest her next destination, as detailed by Essentially Sports. Just days later, she posted a showstopping photo from Las Vegas in a sleek black bikini and then another poolside vignette, a clear message that she’s enjoying her travel and style renaissance. But it’s not just vacations and bikinis—her Insta story also showed off trending high-fashion Labubu dolls and a photo diary from her adventures in Hong Kong, as covered by AOL.
Despite the glossy exterior, Biles is open about the toll of public scrutiny. After a heated social media exchange in which she called out swimmer Riley Gaines for comments about transgender athletes—sparking a polarized online debate—she apologized but later deleted her X account due to a torrent of backlash. She remains active on Instagram but acknowledges the pressure, admitting it can get “annoying because you don’t realize the impact” of every post, as she confided on the Olympics YouTube channel.
Biles’ public appearances remain high-wattage. At the 2025 ESPY Awards in LA, she scored twin honors: Best Championship Performance and Best Female Athlete, declaring from the stage, “I believe in the power of sport, the power of us, and, of course, the power of she.” Her statement was celebrated by much of the press but picked apart by online detractors who saw it as gendered commentary against the backdrop of the earlier Gaines controversy, according to Essentially Sports and Parade.
Beyond headlines and hashtags, Biles is setting a new rhythm—balancing charity work, big business plans, travel, and advocacy, while fiercely defending her right to both vulnerability and triumph on her terms.
