Simone Biles is opening up about her future at the 2028 Olympics and future plans with husband Jonathan Owens.
Simone Biles is looking back at her time at the 2024 Paris Olympics — and ahead at her future!
On Tuesday, the most decorated Olympic gymnast in history sat down with Hoda Kotb, and reflected on her emotional journey during this year”s games, that sees her walking away with three gold and one silver medal to add to her collection.
“I was so proud,” Biles said during her interview with Today. “Happy and bittersweet that the journey is over. It”s crazy it happened so quick, my third Olympics.”
In total, Biles” four new medals make up her collection of 11. With 2028 on the horizon, the 27-year-old isn”t counting out adding some hardware to her collection.
“You never say never,” she teased about the idea of competing in Los Angeles. “The next Olympics is on home turf so you just never know. I”m just gonna relax and see where life takes me.”
While her future on the mat is to be determined, Biles does know what is in store for her and husband Jonathan Owens.
“Yes, me and Jonathan always talk about kids,” she said when asked if motherhood is in the balance of the future. “He would have had them yesterday if we could have. Obviously we both have goals we want to achieve before we start a family, so yes that def in our future.”
Biles and the 27-year-old NFL player tied the knot in 2023. Owens (and his notebook) were in the stands alongside Biles” parents and family as she competed last week. A moment the gymnast will never forget.
“He was so excited,” she said about Owens” first Olympics. “He was more excited to pin trade and obviously he loved going to see me compete. He was still keeping score. For him, it meant the world to him because he”s seen the amount of hours that I”ve put in, so to actually see in person, he was like, ”Wow, this is amazing” and he was just so excited to be there.”
Though he had to return to Chicago for training camp, Owens celebrated his wife”s accomplishments.
“Greatness 🐐 I love you so much baby ❤️🫶🏽💙 You accomplish whatever you set your mind to, and do it with so much grace. 9 time Olympic medalist and counting!!!! So proud to be your husband 🤞🏽🥇,” he wrote on Instagram over the weekend.
On Monday, Biles officially ended her time at the 2024 Paris Olympic games after competing in four competitions. While her future in the sport hasn”t been determined, she knows how she wants to be celebrated.
“Someone who loved the sport,” she told Today. “Had fun doing it and was just authentically herself.”
