Simone Biles Shares Health Update Post-'Near Death' Scare

Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is offering fans an update on her health following a significant scare. On July 23, 2026, Biles posted to Instagram Stories, sharing a photo of herself in medical attire alongside her husband, Jonathan Owens. The procedure took place on July 22, which was Owens' birthday. Biles humorously noted that her husband accompanied her for the "procedure" on his special day.

This update comes after Biles revealed in early June 2026 that she had experienced a "near death" health scare, leading to her being hospitalized and resting at home. She described the event as one of the most frightening of her life, especially with Owens away for football practices. Despite the gravity of the situation, Biles has since recovered sufficiently to attend public events, including the 2026 ESPYS in New York City with Owens.
