What Happened

Simone Biles was back in a hospital this week, undergoing a medical procedure roughly a month after she revealed she had “almost” died during a terrifying health emergency in early June.

The Olympic gymnastics champion shared a black-and-white photo on her Instagram Story on Thursday, showing herself in a hospital gown and surgical cap alongside her husband, NFL safety Jonathan Owens. Biles thanked Owens for accompanying her to the appointment despite it falling on his 31st birthday.

Neither the nature of the procedure nor whether it was connected to her earlier medical emergency has been disclosed. Biles has kept most of the specifics private, saying only that she has been resting and recovering.

The June Health Scare

The hospital visit comes about a month after Biles told fans she had experienced one of the scariest moments of her life. In a series of Instagram posts, she said she doesn’t normally share personal health details but felt compelled to acknowledge what happened because “almost dying” wasn’t something she expected to face.

She described the ordeal as especially difficult because Owens, who now plays for the Indianapolis Colts, was away at team practices in Indianapolis when it occurred. Biles thanked her “close circle” for checking in, visiting, and sending flowers during her recovery, and said she would share more details about what happened “sooner or later.”

She has not yet provided a diagnosis or explained what triggered the emergency.

A Strong Support System

Owens, a former Houston Texans, Green Bay Packers, and Chicago Bears player now with the Colts, has been a visible presence throughout Biles’s recovery. In addition to accompanying her to this week’s procedure, he reportedly surprised her at home with a stall bar and a small workout setup, a gesture toward her eventual return to training.

Biles, a four-time Olympic gold medalist and widely regarded as the greatest gymnast in history, has not commented on whether the health issues will affect any future competitive plans. Fans and fellow athletes in the gymnastics community have flooded her social media with messages of support since her initial post in June.

What’s Next

Biles has promised further updates once she’s ready to share them. For now, her focus appears to be on recovery, with her husband and close circle of friends and family by her side. The 29-year-old gymnastics icon has not indicated a timeline for when she might address the situation more fully.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
