Simone Biles undergoes procedure weeks after near‑fatal health scare

In early June, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles posted on Instagram that she had experienced a mysterious medical emergency she described as "almost dying" and called it "one of, if not the scariest experience of my life." She added that she was resting at home and would explain the situation later.

In late July, Biles shared a black‑and‑white selfie from a hospital room showing her in a gown and shower cap beside her husband, Indianapolis Colts safety Jonathan Owens. She captioned the post, "His birthday but he takes me to get my procedure 🥹🥹🥹🤍🤍🤍," and joked, "I woke up singing BossMan Dlow’s ‘Talk my Sh–’ 🤣🤣🤣." The nature of the procedure and whether it relates to the June incident were not disclosed. Biles thanked friends who visited and sent flowers, reiterating that she would provide details "sooner or later."

Since the update, she has made public appearances, including the 2026 ESPY Awards in New York and a trip to the Dominican Republic, while keeping the specifics of her health condition private.
