Simone Biles Gets Honest About Future Kids Joining Her Gymnastics Legacy: “Don’t-Really Care”

“Me and Jonathan always talk about kids,” said Biles, in an interview from the Paris Olympics. “He would have them, like, yesterday if he could have,” she said. The GOAT of her sport did point out that there are goals that the couple wants to achieve before finally welcoming a baby into this world, but eventually they would. Now Simone Biles’ legacy is not hidden from anybody, the woman is the most decorated gymnast of all time, freaking 11 Olympic medals. The question that arises is, who would inherit her legacy? Maybe her kids? What does she think of that?

“Building a family” was Simone Biles’ reply when she and her husband were asked about their couple goals. While in Kentucky, Biles and Jonathan Owens were interviewed by E! News. The couple who donned lavender attire were told that it was a good phase of a relationship, asking them about their plans to be parents. To which Biles agreed and replied that one day she would have kids and that both of them want to be parents.

The couple was then told that they would have beautiful kids. While Owens thanked the man with the mic for this, the eyes of the gymnast lit up. With lots of excitement in her voice, she said, “Hopefully powerful and athletic. But if they’re turned into musicians, who cares? That is still phenomenal as well.” What were you doing when you were six? Personally me? I was a normal kid, but the GOAT Simone Biles was testing the world of gymnastics when the woman was a young 6-year-old girl. Though she might not accept that kind of dedication from her kids, she does wish for them to sweat a little. But also, if they chose to sing over swing, she is not complaining.

“As long as you put all your effort into whatever you choose to do,” Owens agreed. This just sits in alignment with his interview with the People’s magazine where he said that he not not force his kids to follow his footsteps. The interviewer then, with his insight, told the couple that this happens with athletes. Their children are not exactly going in the direction of sports that they went in. He said that they might make a scientist or something. Talking further on it, Biles said that she would put her children’s sports in their early ages so as for they to get their bearings and learn. But she also said, ” Um, but other than that, we don’t really care what they do. It’s just as long as they find their passion.”

Simone Biles is literary one of the best to have graced gymnastics. The woman in her career has done so much that it would take someone only of her stature to break. Let’s have a look at her gymnastics legacy.

If there were ever a book on the Goat of this sport, where they test the limits of stretchability your body can cross, Biles would be one of the best chapters to be written. With records like those etched in stone, the woman’s name could not be written in any other color than gold.  She has a total of 41 medals !!!, Yes, forty one -11 from the Olympics (seven golds, two silvers, and two bronzes) and 30 from the World Championships.

Other than the medals, the woman has had such an impact on the sport that there are six moves named after her. Among these, the Biles II on vault and the Biles II on floor are particularly notable for their unprecedented difficulty. The Biles II vault is a Yurchenko double pike, involving a round-off onto the springboard, a back handspring onto the vaulting table, followed by two consecutive backflips in a piked position. Biles first performed this vault in competition at the 2021 U.S. Classic and completed it at the 2023 World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium, making her the first woman to do so.

On the floor exercise, the Biles II is a triple-twisting double backflip, also known as a triple-double. Biles became the first woman to perform this skill in competition at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. The woman is such an icon that even when she is not playing the sport, she is making an example/ She pulled out of the Tokyo Olympics due to her mental health struggles and set an example for athlete all around the world, and not just from gymnastics but various sport as well to prioritize their mental health.

At the 2025 TIME100 Gala held at New York City’s Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 24, Simone Biles was honored with the TIME100 Impact Award. She has also been honored with multiple Laureus World Sports Awards. In April 2024, she received the Laureus World Comeback of the Year Award, acknowledging her return to elite competition after a hiatus to focus on mental health. Recently, she was awarded the Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year in April 2025, marking her fourth time receiving this prestigious honor after 2017, 2019, and 2020.
