US Olympic legend Simone Biles was asked on social media about her mysterious health scare that landed her in hospital during a trip to Belize.
Biles wrote on Instagram earlier this month that she almost died, but the details were very vague. She posted a photo of her hand with what appeared to be a hospital bracelet around it. She shared a video from her trip to the Central American country, but when asked about the near-death experience, she kept the situation under wraps.

“I’m not ready to talk about it yet,” she wrote in a response in the comments section.
The first post on her Instagram Stories raised eyebrows.
“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 this week,” Biles wrote.
“It was one of, if not the scariest experience of my life, especially since Jonathan was in Indy for practice. I’ve been in bed resting this week. I’ll explain sooner or later, but [shoutout] to those around me who contacted me, checked in, visited me and/or sent flowers.

Biles is married to Jonathan Owens, who is a safety for the Indianapolis Colts. The couple has been married since 2023, although Owens’ NFL career has sometimes forced them to spend time apart. Since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2018, he has played for five different teams.
The two met while Owens was with the Houston Texans in 2019. Biles lives in Texas, where the couple built a huge house together. Since his time in Houston, Owens has also played for the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears and now the Colts.
In November, Biles revealed that she had recently undergone three plastic surgeries.
