What happened to Simone Biles?
Referring to the incident as the most frightening experience of her life, Biles opened up on her Instagram story, stating, “This was one of, if not the scariest experience of my life,” because her husband was away training with his team in Indianapolis, NFL preseason practice for the Colts.
Biles was resting in bed at home throughout the week after being released from the hospital. Biles thanked her friends and family for the flowers and visits made while she recovered. Moreover, Biles expressed that she would like to tell more later but would keep silent now.
In the meantime, while recovering, she has been posting pictures on Instagram, such as bouquets and a picture of herself in bed surrounded by her dogs. She only commented: “I’ll be here.”

How does Simone Biles live her private life?
Two days before sharing her health scare, Biles gave her 11 million Instagram followers a glimpse into her custom-built Texas estate, showing her bedroom and outdoor kitchen as she followed her doctor’s orders to rest and unwind.
She captioned a photo of breakfast in bed — a plate of eggs, toast, and sausage — with the words: “Breakfast in bed. Just what the doctor ordered.”
Biles and her husband, Jonathan Owens, live in Spring, Texas, a Houston suburb where she grew up. Owens previously played for the Houston Texans (2019–2022) before joining the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers.
