Simone Biles posed in different beachwear during her recent trip with friends. Biles was fresh off her honeymoon with her husband, Jonathan Owens, in South Africa.

Biles had a stellar 2024, bagging laurels on and off the mat. Her Paris Olympics campaign made her the most decorated gymnast with 11 medals. After that, she reunited with her husband during the NFL season and stayed in Chicago when the latter played for the Bears team.

Following the conclusion of the season, the couple flew to South Africa for the honeymoon they had been waiting for since 2023.

In South Africa, the couple enjoyed a safari and encountered several wild animals, including lions and tuskers. They also experienced a beautiful view from atop Table Mountain and saw dolphins in the sea. Soon after their return, the 30-time world champion jetted off to another vacation with her friends.

Although Biles kept the location under wraps, she posted a series of Instagram stories from the trip. She recently posted a collage of her beach looks, posing in a black bikini, a mesh dress worn over the bikini, a sea-inspired asymmetric dress, and a white co-ord set.

Simone Biles has been a force to reckon with in the gymnastics realm for a long time. In an interview with Fox 26 Houston a few weeks ago, the 27-year-old shared how her goals evolved with each passing year but that her main objective was to feel beautiful and bold.

"My 'Why' was to just really have fun and brace it and see how far I could go and hopefully one day get a college scholarship. And that evolved over the years as I started progressing through the sports pretty quickly. Like, 'oh maybe one day, I can go the Olympics' and then I was training with some girls I had gone to World and been to an Olympic team. So, that's kind of why it changed but other than that, it was to embrace who I am, to be strong, to be beautiful and bold," she explained.

Simone Biles' repertoire includes the Presidential Medal of Freedom by then-President Joe Biden, three Laureus Sportswoman of the Year awards, and more.
