Simone Biles is more than a gymnast today; she is a celebrity. Remember back in 2016 when she and her fellow gymnasts, the final five, took to the stage at the VMA. Biles hung out with rapper G-Eazy, took copious selfies with Kim Kardashian West. One of her biggest moments came when she met Beyonce herself on the stage. “Q U E E N B 😭❤️👑” she tweeted back then with a picture of the. The gymnast fangirled back then.

By the time the 2024 Paris Olympics came around, Simone Biles was no longer the star-struck fan; she was the star people flocked to. Celebrities like Tom Cruise, Snoop Dogg, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Nick Jonas, and more were spotted cheering her on at the stands. That was just one of her celebrity moments; yesterday she had another.

Hailey Bieber took to her Instagram account on August 16th, uploading a post of her pictures captioned, “well…. Yes! 🧍🏼‍♀️” This was made after Justin made a post on his Instagram where he posted a picture with his wife, and she had commented, “secrets out we’re dating!”. The couple was sending the internet into a frenzy with this cute moment, and how could Simone Biles ever ignore it?

Taking to the comment section, the most decorated gymnast of all time wrote, “YOU ARE WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE 💕“. The Olympina joined in the fun with an uplifting message for Mrs. Bieber, one coded to reinforce the idea that identity and confidence come from how you see yourself.

Simone has had a long relationship with both Hailey and Justin Bieber. From pop culture references with the model to mental health support and struggle with the Canadian singer, she has been through it all.

Biebers and Simone Biles go way back

In May 2025, Simone Biles joined in on a playful trend while traveling in Hong Kong. She shared a photo of two Labubu dolls dressed in Gucci outfits on her Instagram story, jokingly asking if they were “creepy or cute.” She answered, saying she can’t tell, but since she is in Asia, she just had to. In her caption, she tagged Hailey Bieber, saying, “very specific like @haileybieber said”. Hailey jumped right in, reposting the image on her own Story.

Other than her interactions with Hailey and Justin in recent years, Simone Biles has long been open about being a fan of Justin Bieber himself. Back in December 2013, when the singer released his movie Justin Bieber’s Believe, she shared her excitement on X, writing simply: “Justin Bieber Believe Movie💜✨.” A year later, in November 2015, Bieber dropped his fourth studio album Purpose, and Biles once again couldn’t hold back her admiration. “I’m still so obsessed with Justin Bieber’s album,” she confessed on social media, showing her fangirl side. The Canadian singer had supported her during her Olympic break in 2021.

Taking to his Instagram, he posted a picture of Simone and wrote, “nobody will ever understand the pressures you face! I know we don’t know each other but I’m so proud of the decision to withdraw…People thought I was crazy for not finishing the purpose tour but it was the best thing I could have done for my mental health!! So proud of you @simonebiles.” In 2017, Biber was on the Purpose World Tour when he canceled the remaining dates, citing mental health reasons.

The gymnast also later revealed that the Canadian singer reached out to her, saying, “I had conversations with Team USA’s sports psychologists. Justin Bieber reached out and messaged me…” What are your thoughts on their mental health battles?
