Simone Biles is out here living her best life, and honestly, fans are emotionally invested in every second of it. The Olympic legend has been sharing gorgeous photos from her long-awaited honeymoon in South Africa with her husband, Jonathan Owens! At this point, some people feel like they’re on a trip with her. One even commented, “I can’t believe it’s y’all’s last day😭 it’s like it was my honeymoon too.” A playful (and slightly desperate) way of saying, ‘Please, Simone, stop making us jealous.’

But the Olympic champion, who waited two years for this trip, was not letting anyone rush her. She clapped back with a simple yet powerful, “???? not our last day.” Translation? Translation? Nice try, but we’re just getting started. So, what exactly has fans in full honeymoon FOMO mode?

On February 25th, Biles dropped an Instagram post that looked straight out of a travel magazine! Stunning mountains, a sparkling pool, and herself glowing under the African sun in a red bikini, white shirt, and sunglasses. Her caption? “What day is it?” (Because when you’re on a honeymoon this good, does time even exist?) And just when fans thought they had recovered, she doubled down them again on February 26th with another post! This time giving a major couple of goals with Jonathan.

Simone Biles just blessed Instagram with a carousel of honeymoon photos. Every picture was pure perfection—the kind that makes you stop scrolling and just stare. The location? Franschhoek, Western Cape! In the first photo, Biles was glowing in a gorgeous blue dress, her long hair (probably a wig with those perfect curls) flowing effortlessly. Meanwhile, Jonathan Owens kept it cool in a t-shirt and shorts as they shared a passionate kiss, surrounded by greenery and mountains.

The second pic? the 27-year-old,  living her best life, wearing sunglasses while probably waiting for lunch to be served at a restaurant. In the third, the lovebirds were back at it! Sharing another romantic kiss, this time with glasses of wine in hand. And if that wasn’t enough, Owens’ big diamond engagement ring was impossible to miss. Finally, Biles ended the series with a flawless back-facing pose and a caption, “Wine 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 pretty view”! But here’s the thing—while she’s out here enjoying her honeymoon, she’s also always thinking ahead.

Whether it’s calculating the perfect gymnastics landing, picking the dreamiest honeymoon destination, or making boss moves in business, Biles is on top of it all. And recently, she proved just how business-savvy she is—with a million-dollar request to Owens that had everyone talking!

A honeymoon so Perfect, even Zillow might be jealous of Simone Biles

If Simone Biles ever decides to quit gymnastics, she might have a future in real estate—because she just tried to impulse buy a house in Cape Town. After posting a jaw-dropping ocean-view photo complete with palm trees, a cozy little house, and a stretch of land that looked straight out of a luxury travel ad—she casually wrote, “Ugh, let’s just buy a house here.” No budget planning, no Zillow searches—just see it, want it, manifest it. Honestly? A mood.

Now, let’s be real—beachfront property in Cape Town isn’t exactly a throw-it-in-the-cart kind of purchase. Sure, Biles could probably trade in a few gold medals to make it happen, but Jonathan Owens whose net worth is around $2 million as of 2024—might need a few extra NFL seasons before signing off on this little shopping spree. But even if their South African dream home stays a fantasy for now, their honeymoon is already worth millions in memories.

And because Biles doesn’t just travel she makes an impact! She and Owens also took time to visit a local daycare. Founded by Obert, a staff member at their hotel, the daycare provides a safe space for 87 children to learn and grow. “He just wanted to help the community and the children,” Biles shared on her Instagram story.

So whether she’s casually house-hunting or out here making the world a better place! If there’s one thing Simone Biles is going to do, it’s win—whether it’s gold medals, the honeymoon game, or hearts.
