“This ain’t Texas 🎶🌸💛”—that was the cheeky little caption Simone Biles dropped 14 months ago while living her best island life in Oahu, Hawaii, with husband Jonathan Owens. And trust us, the post was delivered! Well, in the post, Simone showed up in an off-yellow bikini that perfectly popped against the dusky light and lush palm leaves. Her face was hidden behind a floppy summer hat, but her message was loud and clear: tropical vibes only. That figure? A testament to her world-class discipline. That style? Unmatched. The whole scene was serene, sultry, and seriously envy-inducing — a vacation mood board for the ages. But fast forward to now, and the GOAT is still in her era.

On April 16, the gymnast casually broke the internet again — this time with an unfiltered Instagram Story that had jaws dropping. No filters. No edits. Just the 28-year-old standing in front of a full-length mirror in a chocolate brown bikini and matching jacket, serving athletic glam like only she can. The only text? A simple Google location tag: Arizona. No caption, but the statement was loud: even off the mat, she’s always in top form.

Let’s not forget — Biles is now a two-time Olympic all-around gold medalist, with the latest medal added just 8 months ago. And though she’s been off the competition floor since then, Simone’s latest post proves what we already knew: legends never lose their edge. They evolve, they recharge, and they keep serving power — quietly, confidently, and completely on their own terms. Do you want more evidence from Simone’s story? 

After owning the Paris Olympics stage with not one, not two, but three gold medals, Simone Biles didn’t just disappear into training mode — she stepped into a well-deserved season of recharging, reconnecting, and, yes, rejoicing. The GOAT tour may have celebrated her legendary status, but now? She’s savoring life just as passionately as she dominates gymnastics.

From African safaris to a whirlwind European tour, courtside moments at NBA games with hubby Jonathan Owens, and sweet memories made at her bestie Kayla Simone’s baby shower in Austin — Simone’s calendar has been full of joy, not just wins. And while she’s been soaking up these soft life vibes, there’s one thing fans couldn’t help but notice… Where was the pizza? Well, once her post-victory ritual — pepperoni pizza after a medal moment — had quietly vanished. Even after sweeping Paris, she didn’t indulge. Even through her globe-trotting vacations, there was no pizza night in sight. Until now.

Just a week ago, Simone finally broke the pizza drought, posting a delicious snap on social media with the caption: “have not had pizza in SOOOOOO long 😩 which is wild for me to say bc I love it.” A moment that felt like a return — not just to her favorite food, but to herself. And as she lives this full, vibrant chapter, the milestones just keep rolling in.

On April 16, it was announced that Simone Biles will serve as the Riders Up Announcer at the 151st Kentucky Derby — one of the most iconic moments of the event, signaling that it’s time for the jockeys to mount their horses. That’s right — the GOAT is headed to Churchill Downs, and this time she’s not flipping; she’s calling the shots. Pizza in hand, gold in her past, and greatness in her future — Simone Biles is doing it all, on her own terms. And there’s more. 

Simone Biles is a combination of human and superhuman 

“She is both deeply human and undeniably superhuman.” Those were the powerful words Aly Raisman had used to describe her longtime teammate and friend Simone Biles—words that perfectly capture the magic and meaning of the woman who has redefined what it means to be a champion. And now, the world agrees.

On April 16, Simone Biles was officially named one of Time’s Most Influential People of 2025—a moment that feels not just earned, but inevitable. Her influence goes far beyond medals, flips, and gold-plated greatness. As Aly Raisman beautifully expressed in her tribute for Time, Simone’s power lies in the way she’s used her platform to shake the ground beneath the sport—and rebuild it better. “She has changed lives by bringing mental health and athlete safety to the forefront. She has transformed gymnastics—and even sport itself. But her greatest legacy may be ensuring a better future for those who follow.”

It’s one thing to be the most decorated gymnast of all time. It’s another to step back, speak out, and spark a movement. Simone didn’t just raise the bar physically—she raised it emotionally, socially, and culturally. From bravely sharing her mental health struggles during the Tokyo Games to advocating for safer environments for athletes everywhere, she’s built a legacy that’s bigger than sport. It’s about humanity, healing, and hope. Simone Biles isn’t just the GOAT. She’s a guide. A force. A future-shaper. And in 2025, her influence has never felt more powerful.
