Simone Biles Enjoys ‘Late Night Swim’ After Returning Home from Exotic Trip

Gymnast Simone Biles has returned home from her impressive international travels—and wasted no time in getting settled back into life at her Texas property by enjoying a “late night swim” in the pool at the lakeside property.

Biles, 29, spent much of the month of June jetting to different exotic locales across the globe, beginning with Belize, where she enjoyed a romantic getaway with her husband, NFL star Jonathan Owens, before she made her way to Hong Kong, then Malaysia, where she and a friend appeared to have traveled together.

The three-time Olympian shared several snippets from her trip on her Instagram account, before revealing on June 25 that she had flown back to her home state, where she dove into a very relaxing evening with her spouse, beginning with an evening swim—and followed by a long soak in her enormous bathtub.

Revealing several glimpses inside her weekend at home on Instagram, Biles began by sharing an image of the swimming pool at her palatial Spring, TX, abode at sunset, with several neatly-arranged loungers seen lined up on the side, with a vibrant yellow-and-blue sky visible in the background behind the home.

She then added a picture of herself sporting a vibrant orange-and-red bikini while posing in the mirror of her bathroom, layering that photo of a picture of her shimmering pool.

“Late night swim,” she captioned the snap.

Last up for the evening, Biles posted an image of the bathtub inside her primary suite as it was being filled, with a bag of what appeared to be bath salts slowly turning the color of the water a vibrant purple.

It seems that Biles and Owens were more than happy to spend the entire weekend relaxing at home after their travels, with the former later sharing a photo of her husband lounging on a pool float in the water—this time while soaking up some Texas sunshine.

Behind Owens, the lake could be seen glittering in the bright summer weather, with just a simple black fence put in place to separate the couple’s home from the water.

By Monday, it seems the seven-time Olympic gold medalist was ready to get down to some business—or, at the very least, some decorating inside their sprawling property, which was completed in November last year.

Her latest posts featured a glimpse inside one of the finished rooms in the home, where she and Owens are proudly displaying framed black-and-white photos of themselves attending the 2025 Met Gala and the 2025 ESPY Awards. The same space is also being used to show off some of Biles’ magazine covers, including a shot from the front of Vanity Fair and another image from the front of Porter.

Biles has shared several sneak peeks inside the property since she and Owens moved in earlier this year, including a looking inside their luxurious bedroom, which she revealed was decorated in order to look like a five-star hotel.

Posting a video of her remote-control drapes opening up one morning, the Olympian noted that she had asked her interior designer, Diamond Hadley, to create the ambiance that one might find at a top-rated resort.

“When we designed this bedroom, I told them I wanted it to feel like a hotel and it feels exactly like that,” Biles captioned the quick clip, which showed the curtains opening up to the couple’s beautiful outdoor patio overlooking their pool.

As for the more personal touches in their dwelling, Biles has begun adding nods to her impressive career inside her private office, which she revealed is now home to several framed accolades, including her Sports Illustrated cover from January 2025, when she was named as the magazine’s Sportsperson of the Year 2024.

Above that sits another Sports Illustrated cover, this time featuring Biles posing alongside her fellow Olympians Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky. They were hailed as “The Greatests: Stars of a Red Hot American Summer” after their stellar performances at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.

A poster from the Gold Over America Tour—a program that Biles began in September 2021, following that year’s Olympics in Tokyo—completes the trio of framed achievements.

However, the couple’s time in the dwelling has already been plagued by a very difficult chapter, when Biles revealed in early June that she had “almost died” after suffering from an unspecified medical issue while she was home alone. Her husband was staying in Indiana at the time where he was training with his new NFL team, the Indianapolis Colts.

Biles opened up about the mysterious health scare in a post on her Instagram Stories, where she posted an image of her wrist with several hospital bands on it, while writing: “Almost dying wasn’t on my bingo card earlier this week.

“This was one of, if not the scariest experience of my life. Especially since Jonathan was in Indy for practices.”

The three-time Olympian went on to explain that she had been “in bed resting,” adding that she will “explain sooner or later” the events that led up to her apparent hospitalization, before paying tribute to her “close circle,” who have supported her through this difficult time.

“[Shout out] to my close circle who reached out, checked in, visited and/or sent flowers,” she wrote. “Love ya’ll.”

But the athlete was forced to send a message of a very different kind to her fans and followers just a few days later, after coming under harsh criticism over her decision to take a vacation so soon after she suffered such a significant health problem.

After the gymnast shared several images of herself enjoying her vacation, mocking comments began to appear from users, with one writing: “Lmfao weren’t you just on death’s door?”

Another wrote: “Almost died but look at these traveling selfies,” before adding multiple cry-laugh emojis.

In a statement posted in response to the second comment, Biles defended her trip—while expressing her dismay that people would be so quick to judge her when they know so little about what she has been through.

“Ugh these comments make me sad,” she began. “A little over two weeks ago, I experienced a serious medical emergency that could have ended very differently, and this trip has been part of allowing myself to heal and appreciate being here.

“I hope you understand that life changing experiences can shift your perspective and that you’re able to extend a little more grace to others moving forward. Have a nice day!”

Others were also quick to defend the sports star, with one person hitting back at Biles’ critics on her behalf, writing: “What’s funny about almost dying then taking time for yourself and your husband? Maybe find some compassion, or something else to do besides throw shade.”

“Imagine looking this good after a life threatening emergency,” another person commented.

Biles and Owens appear to have spent just over a week in Belize, where they enjoyed meals by the beach, pool days, boat rides, and several nights out—with the gymnast first revealing that they were making their way to the Central American country in a post shared on June 14

In a video shared to her Instagram account, the sporting sensation filmed herself inside her Spring, TX, mansion getting ready for her travel day, going through her morning skincare, feeding her beloved dogs, and finishing up her packing.

“We are going to my favorite vacation spot in the whole entire world today, which is Belize,” Biles said while standing in her opulent bathroom.

The athlete then revealed her family’s long-standing ties to the country.

“My mom and her whole entire family were born and raised in Belize, so me and my siblings actually have dual citizenship. Growing up we used to go to Caye Caulker all the time and it was so long ago that the island didn’t even have fresh water for the sink or the shower,” Biles shared. “We showered with the salt water.”
