Simone Biles BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Simone Biles has been the center of attention on multiple fronts this past week with both her personal life and public persona generating major headlines. Fresh off a triumphant night at the 2025 ESPY Awards in Los Angeles on July 16, she walked the red carpet hand in hand with husband and NFL safety Jonathan Owens. Dressed in a custom Zac Posen gown made in partnership with Athleta, Biles took home both Best Championship Performance and Best Female Athlete, bringing her ESPY trophy count to seven. During her acceptance speech, she not only thanked her support system and acknowledged her journey’s highs and lows, but also paused to offer condolences to those affected by the severe July 4 floods in Central Texas, reflecting her continual connection to her roots according to AOL and Sportskeeda.
Away from the spotlight of competition, Simone has treated her fans to a parade of lively summer vacation moments. Just days after the ESPYs, Biles delighted her 8 million Instagram followers with sun-drenched pictures from an island-hopping trip across the British Virgin Islands and Belize. Social media erupted with praise for her confidence and style, as Essence and Parade highlighted her laid-back, luxurious vacation looks and the beaming support she received from her husband, Owens, who peppered her posts with playful comments and was spotted doting on her during their red carpet appearances.
On the social and cultural front, Biles remains a formidable voice but also found herself enmeshed in controversy. After a heated exchange with conservative activist Riley Gaines over transgender participation in sports, Biles deleted her X account and issued an Instagram story alluding to resilience stating, “Strength is what we gain from the madness we survive.” People and AOL detailed how she later posted a public apology for the personal nature of her earlier retorts, reiterating her focus on fairness and inclusivity in athletics.
Although this has been a relatively quiet competitive season following her legendary Paris 2024 Olympics comeback, as noted by Essentially Sports, Biles’ legendary championship routines are again circulating on social media, underscoring her continued impact on the sport even as she steps back from the competition floor.
Finally, older gestures of sportsmanship, such as her now-viral show of support for a retiring German rival, have resurfaced in sports circles, according to Essentially Sports, offering yet another reminder of the respect and soft power Simone carries. Her last few days have shown her embracing rest, travel, and advocacy, while remaining a lens through which athletic excellence, personal style, and the challenges of public life are all magnified.
