Riley Gaines Claps Back at Simone Biles Drama in Pregnancy Announcement

  • On June 14, 2025, during a leadership event for young women hosted by TPUSA in Texas, former collegiate swimmer and advocate for women's sports Riley Gaines shared that she is 26 weeks pregnant with a daughter.
  • The announcement followed a heated social media feud earlier in June between Gaines and Olympic gymnast Simone Biles over the inclusion of transgender athletes in sports.
  • During her speech, Gaines unveiled ultrasound pictures, proudly revealed her baby bump to enthusiastic applause, and addressed Biles's viral remark by suggesting she try confronting someone her own size—hinting that, ironically, this would be a man.
  • Gaines emphasized that a child in the womb is extremely vulnerable, framing the issue as one centered on truth and protection, while Biles accused her of targeting trans athletes with bullying and called her actions "truly sick."
  • The announcement highlighted ongoing tensions over gender policies in sports, with Gaines committing to fight for women's rights and calling on lawmakers to defund Planned Parenthood amid what she calls an abortion epidemic.
