Simone Biles is recovering on vacation in Belize with her NFL husband Jonathan Owens, days after revealing that she nearly died in hospital after a health emergency.
The USA Olympic gymnast revealed earlier this month that she nearly died in hospital due to a health scare but gave no further details over her condition.
Now, she has headed on vacation with her Indianapolis Colts husband Owens to continue her recovery.
She shared pictures on Instagram with her fans showing her soaking up the sun, while she also gave them an update on she was feeling during a TikTok video.
A fan commented on the footage asking if she is feeling better, to which the 29-year-old said: ‘Yes, every day I am feeling more like myself. Will update y’all soon.’
Biles appeared well in the short video that she shared on TikTok, which showed her getting ready for her break.

She was excited, describing Belize as her ‘favorite vacation spot in the entire world’ and joked about how her suitcase has weighed over 50 pounds.
But she sparked alarm in early June after her health scare.
In a post on her Instagram story, alongside a photo of her wearing several hospital wristbands, she wrote: ‘I’m not one to normally share things like this because I value privacy in today’s age.
‘But almost dying wasn’t on my bingo card earlier this week. This was one of, if not the scariest experience of my life, especially since Jonathan was in Indy for practices.
‘I’ve been in bed resting this week, I’ll explain sooner or later but s/o to my close circle who reached out, checked in, visited & or sent flowers.’
In a further post, she shared a photo of herself lying in bed with her dogs, alongside the caption ‘I’ll be here’ and a screenshot of an extremely elevated resting heartbeat. She has vowed to explain fully what happened to her when she is ready.
She was last seen in public at the end of May on a visit to watch the MLB team St. Louis Cardinals with husband Owens, who threw out the first pitch for his hometown team.
But the news of her scare led to an outpouring of support for the 11-time Olympic medalist, who has not competed since the 2024 Games in Paris, where she won three golds.

Biles currently lives in Texas with her NFL husband Jonathan Owens, who recently signed a one-year, $1.4million deal with the Indianapolis Colts after two years in Chicago with the Bears.
Biles, 29, is widely considered the greatest gymnast of all time and is America’s most decorated gymnast in Olympic history.
She has not ruled out competing again at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028 due to it being a home Games, but gymnasts do not typically compete that late into their career.
Speaking before her health scare, Biles said she is torn over the decision.
‘I’d say we’re still at about 50 per cent,’ she said to French publication El Pais.
‘Although I’ll also take this opportunity to say one thing: I feel we should know how to admire athletes while they are active and competing.
‘I’ve already been to three Olympic Games, and I feel fulfilled. It’s crazy to see how people always want more and more from you. In the end, the decision will always be mine.
‘I feel our bodies are a bit like an hourglass that’s slowly running out. Right now, I’m 29, and although longevity in the elite has advanced by leaps and bounds, it would be a huge sacrifice to try to be at Los Angeles [at 31]. We’ll have to see.’
