Simone Biles Says She Almost Died During Recent Hospitalization
Simone Biles is opening up about a recent health scare.
On Saturday, June 6, the Olympic gold medalist, 29, shared on her Instagram Story that she was recently hospitalized for an undisclosed reason, revealing she nearly died during the ordeal.
"I'm not one to normally share things like this because I value privacy in today's age," Biles wrote alongside of a photo of her arm wearing hospital bracelets. "But almost dying wasn't on my bingo card earlier this week."
"This was one of, if not the scariest experience of my life," she continued. "Especially since [husband] Jonathan [Owens] was in [Indianapolis] for practices."
Owens, 30, is a safety in the NFL for the Indianapolis Colts following stints with the Houston Texans, Green Bay Packers, and Chicago Bears. He and Biles married in 2023 after three years of dating.
"I've been in bed resting this week, I'll explain sooner or later but [shoutout] to my close circle who reached out, checked in, visited & or sent flowers," Biles added. "Loooovveeee y'all."
She then shared snaps of floral arrangements from family and friends to her Story.

According to Harvard Health, a normal resting pulse rate for adult women typically ranges between 60 and 100 beats per minute, though the range for most healthy adults is between 55 and 85 beats per minute.
