Simone Biles has been no stranger to the spotlight since bursting onto the scene at the 2016 Rio Olympics. However, this latest dose of celebrity scrutiny into her life seemed to strike a particular nerve. Instead of her unprecedented athletic feats, the 26-year-old superstar gymnast found herself addressing rumors and speculation about her personal life on social media.

The Olympic gymnast took to Instagram to address something serious and issued a firm statement intended to quell speculation. Her strong denial comes on the heels of a recent Instagram post that prompted questions and comments from some followers.

The speculation sparked by an Instagram photo of Simone Biles

Earlier this week, Olympic gymnastics superstar Simone Biles posted a photo on Instagram of herself cheering on her NFL player husband Jonathan Owens as his Green Bay Packers took on the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. Biles was dressed casually in a brown co-ord set and an oversized camouflage jacket for the Monday Night Football outing.

The cute photo of Biles supporting her husband quickly went viral. However, the gymnastics legend soon found herself inundated with inappropriate comments speculating whether she was pregnant. Despite being used to intense media scrutiny after years in the spotlight, Biles was clearly bothered by the invasive pregnancy speculation from total strangers.

In a subsequent Instagram story, she shared her Instagram post and directly addressed the issue stating, “I hate that I even have to address this but please stop commenting on this photo or my Instagram in general about me being ‘pregnant.’ I am not pregnant.“

Biles has previously been open about wanting to remain focused on her record-breaking sports career for the time being. However, the unsolicited rumor-mongering about her intimate plans forced the decorated Olympian into an uncharacteristically agitated denial just to quell the gossip.

Setting boundaries around privacy

Simone Biles has cemented herself as the preeminent gymnast of this era with her unparalleled talent, work ethic, and medal count. However, her global fame comes at a cost, subjecting her to constant public scrutiny and inappropriate speculation about her personal relationships or plans. While Biles has learned to manage the pressures of her position in the spotlight, she felt compelled to directly refute the latest pregnancy rumors circulating on social media.

Nevertheless, she wants to have kids someday and start a family with Owens, as the gymnast once mentioned in her social media story, “Yeah, we want kids.” “I would say 2 & Jonathan would say 3 is the perfect number. I don’t want to be outnumbered lol,” she added. However, as the gymnast made a staunch come back after two years of hiatus from her beloved arena, she is currently focused on the 2024 Paris Olympics. Hence, as Biles continues on her record-breaking career trajectory, she denies the pregnancy rumors, requesting her fandom to halt the conjectures around the couple’s family planning.
