Simone Biles Responds to Pregnancy Rumors
Simone Biles, the celebrated Olympic gold medalist, recently addressed rumors about her being pregnant. These speculations arose following a photo she posted on Instagram, which showed her at a football game cheering for the Green Bay Packers. In the picture, Biles was dressed in burgundy leggings and a matching sweater, paired with an oversized camouflage jacket and a black beanie. Despite her casual and comfortable outfit, several commenters on the post speculated about a possible pregnancy.
Responding to the rumors, Biles took to her Instagram story to clarify. She expressed her frustration about having to address such speculations by stating, “I hate that I even have to address this, but please stop commenting on this photo or my Instagram in general about me being ‘pregnant.’ I’m not pregnant.” This response was aimed at curbing the unfounded rumors and assumptions made by some of her followers.
Biles, who is 26 years old, has been in the spotlight not only for her extraordinary gymnastics achievements but also for her candid discussions about body image and mental health. Previously, she has opened up about being teased for her muscular build and has emphasized the importance of body positivity and self-acceptance. Her recent response to the pregnancy rumors is another instance of her taking a stand against inappropriate comments regarding her body.
As for her professional life, Biles is focused on her gymnastics career, with the 2024 Paris Olympics on the horizon. Her participation in these upcoming games would mark a significant return since her withdrawal from several event finals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to prioritize her mental health.
