Inspired by him, Rapinoe started playing soccer too. However, Brian Rapinoe became a severe drug addict and couldn’t continue playing soccer. Megan and her twin sister, Rachael Rapinoe, continued to focus on their soccer career. The sport was also a way for the Rapinoe twin sisters to get away from the drug abuse in rural California. Megan Rapinoe’s twin sister Rachael Rapinoe is Megan’s identical twin sister. They grew up in a rural, religious area in California. The relationship between them grew after both of them realized that they were gay. They didn’t discover their sexuality right until they went to university. Rachael Rapinoe once revealed that her twin sister was the one who outed her to her parents.

Rachael was also named in the U-23 American women’s national team back in 2006. She then signed a deal with Stjarnan Women, a women’s soccer club in Iceland. However, she had to forcefully retire from the sport in 2012 after she tore her knee ligament again. After her career-ending injury, Rachael decided to put her knowledge of the game to good use. She pursued her Master’s in Health Studies and Exercise from Portland State University and graduated in 2016. Rachael was part of a joint venture called Rapinoe SC with her twin sister. During that time, Rachael used to host clinics for young soccer players in the country. However, the soccer twins shut down the business venture in 2020. Rachael then co-founded ‘Mendi’, a CBD products company that helps sports persons constantly maintain their strength and health. Megan Rapinoe’s club career Rapinoe played in the WPS from 2009 to 2011. The USWNT star started off her journey with Chicago Red Stars, who made her the second overall pick in the 2009 WPS draft. Rapinoe was named to the league’s all-star team in her first season. She moved to Philadelphia Independence in 2010 after Chicago Stars ceased its operations. After a successful two-year stint, the WPS suspended operations, leaving Rapinoe and hundreds of other players as free agents. In 2011, Rapinoe joined Sydney FC as a guest player. In 2012, Rapinoe followed a few of her national teammates to play with Seattle Sounders Women. She used to play for the club in between camps while they prepared for the 2012 Summer Olympics. Rapinoe signed a six-month deal with Olympique Lyonnais in 2013. She managed to score two goals in six games as a left winger. In that same season, Rapinoe became only the fifth American woman in soccer history to play in a UEFA Champions League final. She ended her season with two goals and one assist in the Champions League.

OL’s stint didn’t last very long in the Champions League after they were knocked out in the Round of 16. OL then announced that Rapinoe would return to Seattle Reign FC for the latter half of the 2013 season. Her tenure in France saw her score 8 goals in 28 matches. Megan Rapinoe has happily settled in Seattle Reign FC (now called OL Reign). The USWNT star had an instant impact in her first season. Despite playing only half a season, Rapinoe was the club’s leading goal scorer with five goals. In the 2013-14 season, Rapinoe was pivotal to her team’s success. Unfortunately, Reign couldn’t get past FC Kansas City in the Championship final. Several years later, Reign FC crowned Megan Rapinoe and 11 other players as legends of the club. The USWNT star joined an exclusive club of 36 other legends. Rapinoe was supposed to leave Reign after the 2022 season. However, she committed to the club for the eleventh consecutive season. Megan Rapinoe’s international career After making her debut for the US under-16 national soccer team in 2002, Rapinoe became a mainstay in the team. Between 2003-2005, her appearance for the US Under-19 team saw her score nine goals in 21 appearances. Her senior team debut happened on July 23, 2006. The match against Taiwan saw her score the first goal of her career in the US jersey. However, Rapinoe, unfortunately, picked up two separate ACL injuries. The USWNT star also ended up missing the 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup due to those injuries. In 2009, Rapinoe scored the match-winning goal against Norway in the group stage. After winning the group stage, the US succumbed to Sweden in the championship final after losing in the penalty shootout. By 2010, Megan Rapinoe had become a mainstay in the USWNT. The fans weren’t surprised after seeing her name on the 2011 World Cup roster. However, the USWNT’s World Cup campaign came to a tragic end as Rapinoe’s side lost against Japan in the World Cup final. Rapinoe had a fine tournament after scoring one goal and managing three assists in six games. Rapinoe continued the winning form from the London Olympics into the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Even though the USWNT won the World Cup, Rapinoe’s campaign came to a premature end after she tore her anterior cruciate ligament. The 2019 World Cup saw Rapinoe cementing her legacy as one of the best soccer players. At the age of 34, she also became the oldest woman to score in a FIFA World Cup final. The US team defeated the Netherlands 2-1 in the final while Rapinoe won the Golden Boot with 6 goals; including one in the final. She also won the Golden Ball award as the best player of the tournament. Despite all the success she had during her career, the 2012 London Olympics saw a different side of Rapinoe. The disappointment of losing to Japan at the 2011 World Cup final still lingered as Rapinoe and co avenged that loss with a 2-1 victory in the final. She finished the campaign with three goals and four assists. She also scored a memorable goal directly from the corner. Many ‘Team of Tournaments’ had Rapinoe’s name on their team. The USWNT star managed to score twice in a memorable 4-3 win against Australia. The USWNT returned home with a bronze medal from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Megan Rapinoe’s activism and philanthropy People from all across the globe recognize Rapinoe for her work for the LGBTQ community. She is directly involved with organizations like the Gay, Lesbian &amp; Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and Athlete Ally. Rapinoe established a gender-neutral lifestyle brand called ‘re-inc’ in 2019. Other than that, Rapinoe has also been extremely vocal about gender discrimination. She was also one of the pioneers to achieve ‘equal pay’ between men’s and women’s soccer in the US. Megan Rapinoe’s wife: Sue Bird Sue Bird is a former American WNBA player. Due to her father being Jewish, Bird currently holds Israeli and American citizenship. She and Megan Rapinoe were the first same-gender couple to feature on the cover of the “Body Issue” of ESPN The Magazine. Megan Rapinoe announced her engagement with basketball star Sue Bird in 2020. However, in multiple interviews, the celebrity couple has mentioned that they aren’t in a hurry to get married. They met during the 2016 Summer Olympics and started dating. In 2017, Sue Bird took the bold step of coming out as gay when she announced her relationship with the USWNT star. She spent her entire professional career at Seattle Storm for over two decades. Bird is also the only WNBA player to win a title in three different decades. She’s also played basketball overseas for three other clubs, namely Dynamo Moscow, Spartak Moscow Region, and UMMC Ekaterinburg. Megan Rapinoe’s Net Worth is estimated to be about $5 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth. On the other hand, Sue Bird’s net worth is estimated to be around $8 million. Hence, the celebrity couple’s combined net worth should be about $13 million. Find out which one of them is wealthier here. Megan Rapinoe’s endorsements  Nike: In December 2021, Megan Rapinoe announced ‘Victory Redefined’, her partnership with Nike. Rapinoe&#8217;s deal with the elite sportswear brand is not just about marketing. It was mainly about what victories mean to different communities of people. The exclusive collaboration included a range of caps, geometric print ponchos, training wear, and travel fleeces. Visa: In 2019, Visa decided to make a ‘substantial’ investment in women’s soccer. The company revealed that Megan Rapinoe would join their roster of athletes. Visa became the first brand partner of the Players of Match Award at a Women’s World Cup. BodyArmor: She signed the contract in 2018 and it was basically a personal endorsement deal. Luna Bars: In 2019, Luna Bar announced that it would give $31,250 each to all 23 soccer players named in the 2019 USWNT World Cup squad. This was mainly to bridge the gap of unequal wages between the men’s and women’s teams. Victoria&#8217;s Secret: In 2021, Victoria’s Secret ditched their actual ‘angels’ for a new set of faces. Megan Rapinoe was one of the new faces that were introduced. The women’s lingerie brand wanted to advocate for female empowerment. Other brands Rapinoe endorses are Samsung and Hulu. Megan Rapinoe’s subway commercial Megan Rapinoe was part of a Subway commercial along with Serena Williams, Tom Brady, and Stephen Curry in 2021. The ad campaign was basically to convince people to switch toward a healthier option. Subway released the ad campaign after Megan Rapinoe controversially kneeled down on one knee for the National Anthem at the Tokyo Olympics. The USWNT star did nothing wrong in the ad. It was just her past activities that angered an already angry audience. People threatened Subway to take the ads down, otherwise they would boycott the brand. Megan Rapinoe’s hairstyle Megan Rapinoe has pink hair. As the USWNT star has dealt with social injustice for most of her life, she once claimed that pink hair was just a fun way in which she could express her individuality. Megan Rapinoe’s tattoos W: The W on her right wrist stands for “Warrior Woman” to represent that the women in her family were warriors. Nature Ran Her Course: This tattoo is on Megan Rapinoe’s left bicep. It says “Nature Ran Her Course” and it seems like a personal belief she holds. Mammers: This tattoo is on Rapinoe’s left wrist. Mammers in the short form of her mother’s nickname, “Mammer Jammers”. The tattoo is scripted in Sue Bird, her current partner’s handwriting. California: This tattoo is located on her right bicep. The tattoo is the outline of her hometown, Redding. Three Triangles: This tattoo is located behind her right arm. The tattoo is basically three interconnected triangles. However, she has never spoken about it. Megan Rapinoe kneels down during National Anthem Megan Rapinoe wanted to draw the nation’s attention toward police brutality and racial inequality. She wanted to have more two-sided conversations regarding racism in America. She refused to stand because she first wanted white people to actually stand in support of people of different backgrounds. Megan Rapinoe took a knee in two consecutive games in 2016. The first instance was before the game against Thailand. US Soccer then released a public statement that stated that all players must stand and honor the flag. However, Rapinoe continued to remain on strike and did the same thing before their next game against the Netherlands, too. ORLANDO, FL &#8211; JANUARY 18: Several United States players including United States forward Megan Rapinoe 15 and United States defender Crystal Dunn 19 are seen taking a kneel during the singing of the national anthem in action during an International Friendly, Länderspiel, Nationalmannschaft match between United States and Colombia on January 18, 2021, at Explora Stadium in Orlando, FL. Photo by Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire SOCCER: JAN 18 Women s &#8211; Colombia at USA Icon164210118147 In her book, One Life, Rapinoe mentioned that she couldn’t imagine the impact that her actions had on the entire world.

She did take a short break from the sport. However, she then found ‘renewed joy and passion’ and was back in no time. Her main reason for contemplating retirement was frequent injuries.

<h2><b>Simone Biles Net Worth</b></h2>
Simone Arianne Biles is one of the most decorated American artistic gymnasts. As of 2024, her net worth is around $16 million. Apart from the cash prizes from various events and tournaments, endorsements have added a lot to the gymnast's worth. Biles has partnered with Athleta, SK-II skincare products, Visa, United Airlines, Spieth America gymnastics equipment, Uber Eats, MasterClass and Facebook Watch, Mondelez's Oreo brand, Core Power fitness shake Candid teeth aligners, GK Elite gymnastics apparel.

Apart from medals and endorsements, Biles also invested in the real estate market. Back in 2017, Biles listed her 3711 sq. ft. childhood home in Texas at $289,000 for sale. Presently, she is overseeing the construction of her new home with beau Jonathan Owens. While not much detail has been revealed about the house, the property is said to be on a highway in Texas.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' Family</b></h2>
Simone Biles' family comprises her parents and biological and adoptive siblings. Simone Biles also considers her pet dogs â€“ French Bulldogs, a female and male named Lilo and Rambo â€“ a part of her little family. Biles' adoptive parents are Ronald Biles and Nellie Biles. She has her own younger sister, Adria Biles, and two elder adoptive brothers named Adam and Ron Biles Jr.

Her extended family includes Ron Biles Jr.'s wife, Sammi Biles, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-gymnastics-news-baby-girl-is-already-so-loved-simone-biles-welcomes-baby-biles-to-her-adorable-family/">baby Biles, the little angel the family welcomed in November 2022. </a>She also has two estranged biological siblings, a sister named Ashley Biles Thomas, and a brother, Tevin Biles. The siblings got separated at a young age after being adopted by different families.
<h2><b>Early Life and Childhood</b></h2>
Simone Biles was born to Shannon Biles on March 14, 1997. Her biological father, Kelvin Clemons, was absent from her life since the beginning. Supporting four kids while battling alcoholism and drug addiction proved hard for Shanon Biles. Because of this, the young Biles siblings ended up in foster care for years. Biles was just three years old when she was separated from her biological mother and put into foster care. However, three years later, the Biles siblings were adopted by their maternal grandfather Ron Biles.

Simone Biles' <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-gymnastics-news-dont-call-and-dont-visit-simone-biles-biological-mother-was-forbidden-from-seeing-the-gymnastics-star-after-her-adoption/">biological mother was prohibited from contacting the gymnast after the adoption</a>. Simone was six when Ron and his wife, Nellie, adopted the Biles siblings. But soon it became difficult for the couple to take care of six young kids (2 biological and four adopted.) Eventually, Simone Biles' two elder biological siblings, Ashley and Tevin, were adopted by their grand aunt, Harriet.

Ron and Nellie were able to provide a safe and permanent home to little Simone and Adria. The healthy environment helped the young girls to focus on their education and explore their interests. This was also how Simone Biles found her way to gymnastics. Biles was just 6 when she saw teenage gymnasts practicing in the gymnasium during a daycare field trip.

Engrossed in her observations, she started imitating the moves of the teenagers. The coaches noticed this at the gym and wrote a letter addressed to Biles' parents suggesting enrolling her in a training center. Considering that, the couple enrolled Biles in Bannon's Gymnastix Center, which in turn became her first step towards her decorated gymnastics career.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' NFL husband Jonathan Owens</b></h2>
Simone Biles is married to the NFL safety, Jonathan Owens. The two first crossed paths during the Houston Texans' game in 2019. However, they officially met through Raya, a dating app, during the pandemic in March 2020. Reportedly, it took just about a month for the NFL player to fall for the gymnast.

They made their relationship Instagram official in August 2020. After dating for nearly two years, Jonathan Owens popped the big question in February 2022.

[caption id="attachment_1942013" align="alignnone" width="473"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-1942013" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1437383254-473x315.jpg" alt="Simone Biles" width="473" height="315" /> HOUSTON, TEXAS - OCTOBER 28: Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens pose on the field prior to Game One of the 2022 World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park on October 28, 2022 in Houston, Texas.

Then in April 2023, the couple got married in an intimate courthouse wedding ceremony in Houston, Texas. Following this, the pair once again exchanged vows in an opulent destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, in the presence of their friends, families, and close-knit acquaintances.

Recently, Owens faced criticism when he admitted that he did not know well who Simone Biles was when they matched on the dating app Raya. Biles' fans were disheartened to know that Owens hadn't heard of Biles even after her 2016 Olympic run.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' Records and Achievements</b></h2>
Throughout Simone Biles's decorated <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/gymnastics-2/gymnastics/">gymnastics</a> career, she has won numerous accolades. She has 7 Olympic medals â€“ four gold, one silver, two bronze. Her recent comeback at the 2023 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium, added a lot more medals to her bag. She has won 30 World Championship medals â€“ 23 gold, four silver, and three bronze â€“ making her the most decorated gymnast in World Championships history.

<h2><b>Simone Biles' gymnastics comeback and Paris Olympics 2024</b></h2>
The 7X Olympic medalist took a break from competitive tournaments to focus on her mental health. During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she experienced the phenomenon known as <i>"the twisties,"</i> in the wake of which she withdrew from the event. The case of 'twisties' occurs when a gymnast loses control of their body while performing twists in the air. This incident prompted Biles to become one of the first athletes to discuss mental health and prioritize it over competition openly.

Biles is now all set to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The 26-year-old made it big at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in August winning her eighth all-around title. She also set a record for most international gymnastics medals by winning her sixth all-around title at the world championships in Belgium in October. Her comeback is a testament that she has prepared hard to pick up from where she left off in Tokyo.

Overcoming the twisties, this comeback marked a crucial milestone in her journey toward the upcoming Olympic games. She continues to prioritize her mental well-being and is undergoing therapy to strengthen her mental approach to her craft.

Throughout her journey, Jonathan Owens has been a supportive partner, standing by her side through thick and thin.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' Physical Regime</b></h2>
During the prime season, Simone Biles trains for 42 hours per week. These 42 hours are divided into seven hours per day, six days a week. Simone Biles takes an off from her training on Sunday. Of the six training days, Biles trains twice a day for four days, including Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. She trains just once a day on Thursday and Saturday. Her morning training sessions start at 9 am and end at noon. Whereas, the time for the afternoon session is from 3 to 6 pm.

Her routine includes running and stretching every part of the body. The stretching is done before and after the practice to warm up and cool down consecutively to help the muscles. For her competitions, Biles uses the cross-training method which includes running, swimming, and biking. Her routines comprise exercises like superman and hollow holds, regular and single-leg V-ups, scissors, and pulses for abs. The full-body workout includes the plie squats, superman lifts, boat holds, hip raises, and glute kickbacks. The bodyweight workout includes bear planks with butt kicks, crab reaches, wall walks, push-ups to plank jack knives and pike presses.

Here is a summary of how long she does the various regimes.

Swimming on Day 1-: 1 mile
Biking on Day 2-: 10 miles
Intense abs routine on Day 3-: 11 rounds
Full body on Day 4-: 30 minutes

(Photo by Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images) Simone Biles Net Worth Simone Arianne Biles is one of the most decorated American artistic gymnasts. As of 2024, her net worth is around $16 million. Apart from the cash prizes from various events and tournaments, endorsements have added a lot to the gymnast&#8217;s worth. Biles has partnered with Athleta, SK-II skincare products, Visa, United Airlines, Spieth America gymnastics equipment, Uber Eats, MasterClass and Facebook Watch, Mondelez&#8217;s Oreo brand, Core Power fitness shake Candid teeth aligners, GK Elite gymnastics apparel. Apart from medals and endorsements, Biles also invested in the real estate market. Back in 2017, Biles listed her 3711 sq. ft. childhood home in Texas at $289,000 for sale. Presently, she is overseeing the construction of her new home with beau Jonathan Owens. While not much detail has been revealed about the house, the property is said to be on a highway in Texas. Simone Biles&#8217; Family Simone Biles&#8217; family comprises her parents and biological and adoptive siblings. Simone Biles also considers her pet dogs â€“ French Bulldogs, a female and male named Lilo and Rambo â€“ a part of her little family. Biles&#8217; adoptive parents are Ronald Biles and Nellie Biles. She has her own younger sister, Adria Biles, and two elder adoptive brothers named Adam and Ron Biles Jr. Her extended family includes Ron Biles Jr.&#8217;s wife, Sammi Biles, and baby Biles, the little angel the family welcomed in November 2022. She also has two estranged biological siblings, a sister named Ashley Biles Thomas, and a brother, Tevin Biles. The siblings got separated at a young age after being adopted by different families. Early Life and Childhood Simone Biles was born to Shannon Biles on March 14, 1997. Her biological father, Kelvin Clemons, was absent from her life since the beginning. Supporting four kids while battling alcoholism and drug addiction proved hard for Shanon Biles. Because of this, the young Biles siblings ended up in foster care for years. Biles was just three years old when she was separated from her biological mother and put into foster care. However, three years later, the Biles siblings were adopted by their maternal grandfather Ron Biles. Simone Biles&#8217; biological mother was prohibited from contacting the gymnast after the adoption. Simone was six when Ron and his wife, Nellie, adopted the Biles siblings. But soon it became difficult for the couple to take care of six young kids (2 biological and four adopted.) Eventually, Simone Biles&#8217; two elder biological siblings, Ashley and Tevin, were adopted by their grand aunt, Harriet. Ron and Nellie were able to provide a safe and permanent home to little Simone and Adria. The healthy environment helped the young girls to focus on their education and explore their interests. This was also how Simone Biles found her way to gymnastics. Biles was just 6 when she saw teenage gymnasts practicing in the gymnasium during a daycare field trip. Engrossed in her observations, she started imitating the moves of the teenagers. The coaches noticed this at the gym and wrote a letter addressed to Biles&#8217; parents suggesting enrolling her in a training center. Considering that, the couple enrolled Biles in Bannon&#8217;s Gymnastix Center, which in turn became her first step towards her decorated gymnastics career. Simone Biles&#8217; NFL husband Jonathan Owens Simone Biles is married to the NFL safety, Jonathan Owens. The two first crossed paths during the Houston Texans&#8217; game in 2019. However, they officially met through Raya, a dating app, during the pandemic in March 2020. Reportedly, it took just about a month for the NFL player to fall for the gymnast. They made their relationship Instagram official in August 2020. After dating for nearly two years, Jonathan Owens popped the big question in February 2022. HOUSTON, TEXAS &#8211; OCTOBER 28: Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens pose on the field prior to Game One of the 2022 World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park on October 28, 2022 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Carmen Mandato/Getty Images) Then in April 2023, the couple got married in an intimate courthouse wedding ceremony in Houston, Texas. Following this, the pair once again exchanged vows in an opulent destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, in the presence of their friends, families, and close-knit acquaintances. Recently, Owens faced criticism when he admitted that he did not know well who Simone Biles was when they matched on the dating app Raya. Biles&#8217; fans were disheartened to know that Owens hadn&#8217;t heard of Biles even after her 2016 Olympic run. Simone Biles&#8217; Records and Achievements Throughout Simone Biles&#8217;s decorated gymnastics career, she has won numerous accolades. She has 7 Olympic medals â€“ four gold, one silver, two bronze. Her recent comeback at the 2023 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium, added a lot more medals to her bag. She has won 30 World Championship medals â€“ 23 gold, four silver, and three bronze â€“ making her the most decorated gymnast in World Championships history. Olympics achievements: Team event- Gold medal (2016 Rio Olympics) All-around- Gold medal (2016 Rio Olympics) Vault- Gold medal (2016 Rio Olympics) Floor exercise- Gold medal (2016 Rio Olympics) Team events- Silver medal (2020 Tokyo Olympics) Balance beam- Bronze medal (2016 Rio Olympics) Balance beam- Bronze medal (2020 Tokyo Olympics) Simone Biles&#8217; gymnastics comeback and Paris Olympics 2024 The 7X Olympic medalist took a break from competitive tournaments to focus on her mental health. During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she experienced the phenomenon known as &#8220;the twisties,&#8221; in the wake of which she withdrew from the event. The case of &#8216;twisties&#8217; occurs when a gymnast loses control of their body while performing twists in the air. This incident prompted Biles to become one of the first athletes to discuss mental health and prioritize it over competition openly. Biles is now all set to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The 26-year-old made it big at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in August winning her eighth all-around title. She also set a record for most international gymnastics medals by winning her sixth all-around title at the world championships in Belgium in October. Her comeback is a testament that she has prepared hard to pick up from where she left off in Tokyo. Overcoming the twisties, this comeback marked a crucial milestone in her journey toward the upcoming Olympic games. She continues to prioritize her mental well-being and is undergoing therapy to strengthen her mental approach to her craft. Throughout her journey, Jonathan Owens has been a supportive partner, standing by her side through thick and thin.
