Is Simone Biles the greatest gymnast of all time? Share your thoughts!

Simone Biles and Tequila have a classic love-hate relationship. It’s no secret she loves a good margarita—she even celebrates her “favorite holiday // national margarita day.” But Olympians train with great scrutiny, meaning no alcohol in the weeks leading up to the Paris Olympics. In fact, the organizing committee even built a sports bar in the village—sans alcohol. So, before heading to Paris, Simone shared her adherence to the rules with a playful snap of herself clinking glasses with her Team USA gymnasts, captioned “mocktails of course.”

Then, on August 8, right after her Paris Olympics competition, where she became the most decorated US gymnast in history with three gold medals and one silver, she posted on Instagram Threads, “I know tequila hate to see me coming,” ready to celebrate. However, just four days later, tequila seemed to win the battle. After her last night in the City of Lights, Simone took to Instagram Threads again, saying, “I’m never drinking again.” So what led to this sudden change of heart?

Simone Biles took her final victory lap in style after the Paris Olympics, celebrating with her sister Adria Biles. Alongside iconic personalities like French swimming sensation Léon Marchand, she was spotted partying at the l’Arc club on August 11. As the most decorated Olympic gymnast in U.S. history, Simone was the life of the party, dancing her heart out while revelers waved American flags and held up illuminated signs.

The next day, Biles shared on Instagram Stories with her 1.5 million followers, “The reason I’m unwell this morning,” alongside a clip of the party where the crowd cheered and waved an American flag. Another video featured Queen’s “We Are the Champions” blaring as confetti flew and a sign proclaimed, “Gym legend Simone Biles.” How did the night wrap up for our Olympic queen?

“If you see me out at the club, pls tell me to go home. For my own sake & health in the AM,” Biles wrote, sharing a black-and-white video of her and her younger sister, Adria, jamming to Waka Flocka Flame’s 2010 hit “Grove St. Party.” Reflecting on Simone’s epic post-Olympics bash, it’s clear that she fully embraced the party scene, but hey, she earned it after her incredible performances. But did you know this isn’t Simone Biles’s first wild night with alcohol? Let’s rewind to 2023—her epic wedding to Jonathan Owens!

Simone Biles made a hilarious confession while celebrating her first wedding anniversary with Jonathan Owens. The couple had an intimate courthouse wedding in Texas on April 22, 2023, before jetting off to Cabo San Lucas for a second ceremony with 140 guests on May 6, 2023. On their anniversary, Biles shared a collection of fun photos from their Cabo celebration. One Instagram Story featured a sweet moment with her mom, Nellie Biles, at a pool party. Above the picture, she joked, “Momma Biles is probably telling me I need to eat before I black out.”
