Simone Biles Undergoes ‘Procedure’ After Nearly Dying, Posts Hospital Pic
Biles thanked Jonathan Owens for taking her to the procedure and said she was recovering after a medical emergency last month.
On Thursday, July 23, Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles shared an Instagram Story selfie from a hospital room with her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens. The 29-year-old appeared in a hospital gown and cap while praising Owens for taking her to the procedure.
The recent hospital visit follows a "medical emergency" last month that Biles said "could have ended very differently." The athlete has not released specifics regarding that event, which she previously described as a terrifying experience while Owens was away at practice.
"I'm not one to normally share things like this because I value privacy in today's age," Biles wrote. She awoke from the procedure singing a song by rapper BossMan Dlow, adding levity to her recovery.
Unlike the previous emergency where she was alone, Owens was by her side for this procedure. The couple, married since 2023, has navigated challenges from the safety's career with the Indianapolis Colts, which has occasionally forced them apart.
Biles recently appeared at the ESPY Awards on July 15, though she has yet to confirm plans for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The gymnast continues to recover after sharing the update with fans.
