Simone Biles: Avril Lavigne Stole My Sunglasses!

Gymnast Simone Biles recently shared an amusing anecdote about the wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, which took place on July 3. Biles revealed that her sunglasses were inadvertently taken by singer Avril Lavigne during the event. Biles recounted how she sent Lavigne a direct message on Instagram, humorously requesting the return of her YSL sunglasses. This lighthearted mix-up happened at the celebrity-filled nuptials held at Madison Square Garden. Biles attended the event with her husband, Indianapolis Colts safety Jonathan Owens.

This disclosure follows recent comments from Biles addressing speculation about her invitation to the wedding, affirming her decade-long friendship with Taylor Swift. Biles performed to Swift's song "...Ready for It?" during the 2024 Olympic trials, further highlighting their connection. In a previous appearance, Biles also spoke for 25 minutes about the importance of mental health in sports, drawing from her career which includes seven gold, two silver, and two bronze Olympic medals.
