The first one came in 2024. In an interaction with Olympics.com, Simone Biles explained her preference for the perfect honeymoon destination. She mentioned, “We would really love to go to Bora Bora and just relax there.” Now add another, more decided on the issue. This one came in 2022, right after she engaged with Jonathan Owens.

Now, Simone said, “Still in the process of solidifying wedding plans/details. So we haven’t gotten to honeymoon…I’ve always wanted to go to Bora Bora though!” However, she hardly knew the chance to set sail for the honeymoon would come three years later. Moreover, her fans were oblivious to how their hopes would inevitably be shattered. How so? 

Everything matched with her previously made statements. The mood, the journey time, and the occasion—nothing in fact—felt differently. Yet the final revelation proved everything wrong. That was the situation regarding the guessing game of Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’ honeymoon destination. On February 15, the couple dropped several posts on social media regarding their flight to reach the ‘surprise’ honeymoon destination. Because of Simone’s several previous admissions, the fans thought the destination to be Bora Bora – the perfect tropical treat. But the reality remained different. 

On February 16, Simone Biles dropped another post in her Instagram story. It was a snap featuring Biles spending time with Jonathan, enjoying their drinks in the cozy corner of the hotel room or any rented apartment. However, the headline of the snap read, “made it to South Africa.”

So, the couple proved every guess wrong and chose a place as their honeymoon place, miles away from French Polynesia. The selection of place came totally out of the blue. But certain dots might direct to a better understanding. Let’s have a look at those.

Simone Biles’ fall for the tropical places is well documented. The love for the seven-time Olympic champion for the sunny locale goes so deep that she chose Mexico as the coveted place for her destination wedding. With Jonathan, she even booked a plane to fly her family and friends to the place to keep everything in place. In addition to planning her wedding at the sunny beach, she has another testament to her love for the sandy shores and the bright blue sky.

Simone Biles’ home is in Texas. In the last few years, she has shaped this home as she had imagined in her dream. It is an emotional affair for her, after all. But very few might know that Belize comes as her second home. She has gained her citizenship to the country from her mother’s side and set up her nest at Ambergris Caye Island. Another tropical escape, right?

Yes, the island presents a diverse range of food, nightlife, and everything to keep Simone and her NFL safety husband glued to the white beaches. However, let’s get back to the discussion of her latest selection. South Africa offers a variety of places with subtropical and temperate climates. Remember, the country has a vast region on the east and west coasts, presenting a tropical climate. Also, the bonus is the southwest region comes with a Mediterranean climate, something worth falling for. Plus the safaris. So?

Again, the tropical places have made it to Simone Biles’s story, and this time, for her honeymoon. However, have you noted something extraordinary? How has the couple made it to their favorite places in the last few months without tinkering with anything? 

Simone Biles is ticking the boxes with Jonathan Owens 

First, it was Switzerland, and then it was for Miami. This year, Simone Biles kept it simple but on the line to fulfill her wish to travel to places to spend time with Jonathan Owens. How has that been so far? You can guess. 

Notably, Switzerland’s name may not have been on Simone Biles’ list of honeymoon or vacation destinations. But she had something bigger—any country in Europe to have her gateway to. This year, she ticked her choice by spending quality time in that European capital of tourist attractions. Perhaps it posed her first honeymoon with JO.

Later, in Miami, she found a seaside hotel to spend her holidays with JO. In her social media uploads, she even included a snap clicked from her hotel, capturing the sea seen from their hotel room. She captioned the post with the words, “Nothing like waking up to the beach.” Therefore, Simone Biles traveled to both types of places explained in her wish list.

Now, it is her turn to explore a region that has a tropical climate and a few more new things for her. Will it be a fortunate experience? What do you think about this?
