Simone Biles is turning up the heat on vacation, but attention has been drawn to something else.
As if the Olympic champ's drama of exiting X amid her feud with Riley Gaines was not enough, Biles' vacation photos have kicked off rumors that she may have undergone breast enhancement surgery.
Simone Biles had previously admitted to using Botox. While celebrating her birthday last year, the gymnast confessed to having undergone the procedure, but added that she wasn't a fan of it.
Biles is making waves again, this time, not for her flips, but for what some say looks like a new figure. The 28-year-old is vacationing in San Pedro, Belize, with her husband, Jonathan Owens, and her latest bikini snaps are fueling rumors that she may have undergone breast enhancement surgery.
Biles shared several beachside photos, including a close-up mirror selfie that showed off a noticeably fuller chest. Though she has not confirmed or denied the speculation, Biles has previously been open about using Botox.
That has not stopped the internet from buzzing, especially after plastic surgery influencer Dana Omari reposted the image on her Instagram stories, writing, "Simone Biles with the breast aug!! She looks incredible," as reported by Daily Mail.
Despite her recent appearance, Biles has long been candid about body image and embracing her natural beauty. In a past interview, the star opened up about the harsh scrutiny she faced early in her career, saying critics often targeted her hair and muscular frame.
"But God made me this way, and I feel like if I didn't have these legs or these calves, I wouldn't be able to tumble as high as I can and have all of these moves named after me," she shared.
Her confidence has continued to grow over the years. In a 2023 conversation with Harper's Bazaar, Biles also explained how her views on beauty have shifted with time and experience. "Now, I would still say my personal preference is always having a clean face and just being confident in who I am," she said.
Biles is catching heat from the former swimmer, who is doubling down after the American gymnast's quiet exit from X (formerly Twitter).
The Blast reports that Gaines publicly mocked Biles on social media, claiming she deleted her account to escape the fallout from her stance on transgender athletes in women's sports.
The political commentator did not hold back, saying Biles was "rightfully ridiculed" for what she called a "morally indefensible" position. Gaines also criticized Biles' earlier apology, describing it as "groveling" and insincere.
She suggested the gymnastics star could not handle the backlash and chose to vanish from the platform instead. "Sad to see such a phenom go down like this," Gaines wrote, ending her comments with a sharp jab at Biles.
The women's online feud that turned personal was all over the inclusion of a transgender athlete on a high school softball team. After Gaines criticized Minnesota's Champlin Park softball team for allowing a transgender girl to play in their state championship win, Biles did not stay quiet.
She fired back with a string of sharp tweets, calling Gaines a "bully," a "sore loser," and even threw in a body-shaming jab, "Bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male."
Gaines hit back with just as much force. She accused Biles of abandoning women's sports and failing to comprehend the consequences of her stance. Gaines even dragged up Biles' past with convicted sex abuser Larry Nassar, sharing an old video of Biles' emotional testimony and calling her a hypocrite.
Biles may be facing drama online, but that did not stop her from hitting pause and enjoying a sunny escape with her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens.
Marca highlighted that she let loose during a beach day getaway, posting a playful video to her Instagram stories that showed her downing colorful shots in the middle of the day. Sunlight, waves, and drinks, Biles was all in on the summer mood.
Owens, who plays safety for the Chicago Bears, joined in on the fun, though his face said it all when he tossed one back. His expression went from relaxed to slightly stunned, proof that the shots packed more of a punch than expected. Still, he kept up with Biles, rolling with the moment like a pro.
All eyes are now on Simone Biles, but not for her athletic skills.
