Simone Biles is finding comfort in a summer vacation with her husband, Jonathan Owens, less than one week after recuperating from a scary medical emergency.
“A baecation is needed ❤️🔥,” Biles, 29, wrote via Instagram Stories on Saturday, June 13, alongside a photo of the couple’s Goyard and Louis Vuitton designer luggage.
Alongside a follow-up slide of a teal-colored ocean, Biles wrote, “Do not disturb, please & thank you.”
The Olympic gymnastic further offered social media fans glimpses of the couple’s dinner date, where they cuddled close while posing for a selfie.
Biles’ vacation comes nearly one week after she revealed that she suffered an undisclosed health scare that nearly turned fatal.
“I’m not one to normally share things like this because I value privacy in today’s age, but almost dying wasn’t on my bingo card this week,” she wrote via Instagram on June 6. “This was one of, if not the, scariest experience of my life, especially since Jonathan was in Indy for practices.
Owens, 30, signed with the Indianapolis Colts earlier this year and was attending preseason practices during Biles’ hospitalization.
“I’ve been in bed resting this week,” Biles added at the time. “I’ll explain sooner or later, but [shout out] to my close circle who reached out, checked in, visited or sent flowers 🤍🤍🤍. Love y’all.”
Owens, who met Biles in 2020 via celebrity dating app Raya, has not publicly addressed his wife’s medical emergency or recovery, though this is certainly not the first time the couple has navigated adversity.
“It was one of the few times in her life where everything was just shut off and she couldn’t do anything,” Owens told Texas Monthly in 2021 of meeting Biles during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. “We used it to get to know each other — really get to know each other. It created our bond and made it stronger. Now, I’m so thankful.”
After three years of dating, Biles and Owens said “I do” in 2023. They also remain one another’s biggest cheerleaders in their respective athletic fields.
“It is not much motivation you need to do, just because you don’t want to put extra, added pressure on anyone. I just tell her, ‘Go do your thing, baby,’” Owens exclusively told Us Weekly in July 2024 about going to Biles’ gymnastic meets. “You get a different type of focus whenever you just have this one person that you’re focusing on.”
He continued at the time, “I’ve played a lot better since [meeting Simone]. I’ve just been focused and locked in, and you come home, talk about my day and play with the dogs, you know what I mean? That’s just kind of, like, our thing.”
