Simone Biles Shuts Down Belize Details With Jonathan Owens

Simone Biles declined to explain what a fan called a near death experience during a Belize trip with jonathan owens, keeping the details of the medical scare to herself. The seven-time Olympic gold medalist said she was not ready to talk about it yet, even after publicly acknowledging the ordeal earlier this month.

Biles Holds Back On Belize

On Sunday, Biles answered a question in the comments of an Instagram post about the Belize trip with husband Jonathan Owens. Her reply was brief: "Not ready to talk about it just yet". That kept the focus on the same event she first raised earlier this month, when she appeared to show a hospital bracelet in an Instagram Story.

In that earlier post, Biles wrote that "almost dying wasn't on my bingo card earlier this week." She later described the ordeal as "one of, if not the scariest experience of my life." Those comments made clear how serious the episode felt to her, even as she stopped short of laying out exactly what happened.

Jonathan Owens Was Away

Owens was not with her during the Belize trip because he was going through offseason workouts with the Indianapolis Colts. He signed a one-year deal with Indianapolis in the spring, which had already pulled him into the team’s offseason program while Biles was away in Belize.

That leaves Biles in a familiar position for high-profile athletes: she has acknowledged a frightening medical scare, but she has not yet shared the underlying details. She has said she intends to address it in depth later, so the next update will come from her own account rather than speculation around the comments.
