Simone Biles discusses the possibility of bonding with Taylor Swift as she plans to cheer on her husband at NFL games in between her busy schedule following Paris Olympics.

AceShowbiz - Simone Biles, the 27-year-old gymnastics sensation, has had a whirlwind year marked by significant achievements and new endeavors. However, despite both being football WAGs, she hasn't had the chance to bond with Taylor Swift at an NFL game just yet, largely due to her tour commitments.
"I'm currently on tour so unfortunately not," Biles told Access Hollywood on Wednesday, October 23, when asked if she and Swift had spent any time together. "I've missed a lot of games. But as soon as we finish tour, then yes." She added with a laugh, "But you usually don't bond with opponents."
Biles' husband, Jonathan Owens, plays for the Chicago Bears, whereas Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is a key player for the Kansas City Chiefs. Interestingly, the Bears and Chiefs are not scheduled to face each other in the regular season, minimizing opportunities for an NFL rendezvous between the two couples.
Fresh off winning four medals at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, Biles joined Athleta's Gold Over Golden American tour. This pop concert-style event illuminates the athletic prowess and victory stories of Biles, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, and other Olympic gymnasts. The tour wraps up on November 3, after which Biles aims to be more present at Owens' games, cheering him on in person.
"Everything is shipped to Chicago already so I'm ready with gear," Biles said, hinting at her supportive role. "Whenever I reach out to some of our NFL designers I just let them take control and do it."
Biles reflects on her Olympic success and contemplates her future on her Netflix documentary series, "Simone Biles Rising".
"Now I'm like, 'Oh my god.' Like, what happens in life now?" she pondered in the series. "What I'll miss most about gymnastics is the freedom with my body. The ability that I have in the gym is not normal. But I've had to work in other areas of my life and that's taught me the lessons and brought me to be who I am today. If I look back at my career, honestly, the thing I'd be most proud of is staying true to myself and never swaying from that."
During a red carpet event in Hollywood on October 23, following the episode's premiere, Biles participated in a Q&A session. When asked about her legacy, the gymnast remained reserved. "Usually, if you're using the word legacy, it means you're done," she said. "So I don't have an answer for you."
Fans eager to dive deeper into Biles' incredible journey can stream all episodes of "Simone Biles Rising" now available on Netflix.
