Olympic icon Simone Biles shutdown speculation that she is pregnant on social media Wednesday.
The 26-year-old, who is married to NFL player Jonathan Owens, was forced to deny the rumors that she’s expecting a baby after sharing a photo to Instagram on Tuesday.
The gymnast posted a series of snaps of herself at MetLife Stadium on Monday night, where she was cheering on her Packers husband during Green Bay’s loss to the New York Jets.
The seven-time Olympic Gold medalist looked beautiful in a matching burgundy leggings and a tight-fitting turtle neck jumper with a camo jacket over the top and a black hat with Owens’ No. 34 on the front.
But fans flooded her comments sections to speculate that Biles was pregnant with one writing: ‘I see that belly.’
Another posted, ‘Beautiful!! I see a lil bump,’ while one added, ‘I SEE A LIL BELLY MAM!!’
However, Biles was swift to shutdown the wild speculation on her Instagram story the following day.
‘I hate that I even have to address this, but please stop commenting on this photo or my Instagram in general about me being “pregnant,”‘ Biles wrote alongside the original photo. ‘I’m not pregnant.’
Biles’s denial comes with the 2024 Paris Olympics on the horizon amid speculation she could compete for a third time.
She made a return to competitive gymnastics earlier this year, two years on from suffering with the ‘twisties’ at the Covid-postponed Tokyo games in 2021.
Her stunning return to the international stage in Belgium in October when she claimed four Gold medals at the World Championships.
She also claimed a silver medal on vault after the sixth all-around title that made her the most decorated gymnast in history, male or female. And she led the US women to a record seventh straight victory in the team event.
Biles has won a record 37 medals at the world championships and Olympics.
She has also taken up cheerleading duties amid competing herself, supporting Owens at a number of his games this season.
She proudly congratulated Owens when he signed with the Packers in May and revealing she ‘bawled her eyes out’ after sending him off the training camp.
Owens and Biles tied the knot for a second time with a lavish ceremony in Cabo San Lucas in May.
The Olympian and her NFL star husband previously exchanged vows on April 22 in Houston, Texas to make their marriage legal ahead of their nuptials in Mexico.
‘We had to get married ‘legally’ here in the U.S. since our wedding will be a destination wedding,’ the gold medalist explained to a fan on Instagram.
Simone’s father Ronald Biles walked her down the aisle and the ceremony was officiated by her uncle Paul.
Guests included fellow gymnasts, Melanie De Jesus Dos Santos, Aly Raisman, Maggie Nichols, Madison Kocian, Jordan Chiles and Katelyn Ohashi.
