Simone Biles was surprised at being compared with Bri from season 6 of Too Hot To Handle. The American athlete is widely regarded as the greatest gymnast of all time and boasts an incredible eleven Olympic medals.

Biles revealed in a post on Threads that some people had mistaken her for a character from Too Hot To Handle, a reality television dating game show.

"these guys just asked if I was from too hot too handle 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 lmao GOODBYE," she wrote.

The 27-year-old was later told by a fan that she looked similar to Bri from season 6 of the show. While the gymnast said she didn't know her and needed to google about her, the seven-time Olympic champion acknowledged having similar eyes to that of the model.

"No lie, you and Bri from the last season do favor each other. 😍 but also, that's insane lol," the fan noted.
"we look nothing alike…… same oval beautiful eyes! but the nose & mouth are totally opposite. Be so forreal hahahhaa! She’s cuuuuuute though! But we don’t look alike…?," Simone Biles replied.

While Biles hasn't watched the show, she met her husband, Jonathan Owens, through the online dating app Raya in 2020. The couple got engaged in 2022 before tying the knot the following year.

Speaking in an interview with Essence.com, Simone Biles revealed that her life in Chicago revolved around her husband Jonathan Owens, and attending his NFL Games.

"For me, unwinding is not too much of a thing! I do have a couple of days off leading up [to the holidays], but nowadays, my life kind of revolves around football. So [Chicago Bears games are] when I get to unwind, have some fun, go support my husband and just learn more about football. So that’s kind of what it looks like these days," she said.

Following their marriage in May 2023, Biles and Owens didn't spend the majority of their time together. While Owens was playing with the Green Bay Packers in 2023 and the Chicago Bears in 2024, the gymnast was preparing for her comebacks at the World and Olympic Games.

After Biles ended her season, the couple has been living in Chicago and the gymnast attended nearly all of the Bears' games in November and December.
