AceShowbiz - After adding four Olympic medals to her collection at the 2024 Paris Games, Simone Biles, 27, revealed her desire to become a mother in an interview on "Today". The Olympic gymnast confirmed that she sees herself as a mom, but emphasized that she and Jonathan Owens have individual goals to achieve first.
"We always talk about kids," Biles said. "He would have had them yesterday if he could have." Despite Owens' eagerness, Biles noted that she and her husband are prioritizing their careers. She stated, "Obviously, we both have goals that we want to achieve before we start a family. But yes, that's definitely in our future."
Biles and Owens, a safety for the Chicago Bears, married in April 2023. Owens showed his unwavering support for his wife by cheering her on at the 2024 Olympics, where she became the most decorated U.S. Olympic gymnast.
"He was so excited. He was more excited to pin trade," Biles said of Owens' experience at the Games. "He loved going to see me compete ... it meant the world to him."
Biles, who has faced criticism from trolls in the past, defended Owens after he was photographed wearing her gold medal. She emphasized that she had given permission to her family members to wear the medal.
