Biles and husband Jonathan Ownes, who is a safety for the Chicago Bears football team, have been spending some time in the tropical paradise of Belize recently.
Belize sits on the eastern coast of Central America, with Caribbean Sea shores and the massive Belize Barrier Reef, which is dotted with hundreds of low-lying islands.
Biles uploaded three photos of herself and husband Johnathan taking in the relaxed vibes of the tropical destination.

In the photos, Biles wears what appears to be a Fendi bikini, with the brand’s recognizable logo in a brown pattern.
In the first shot, she is sitting on her knees on a bed or couch with bright green pillows.
The cocktail in her hand is a similar shade.
She’s wearing oversized black-rimmed glasses, and a chunky gold necklace. Her belly ring and bracelet glimmer in the sunlight.
She’s also adorned with a larger than previously seen chest.

As an Olympic gold medal gymnast, Biles’ movements, and body, have been the subject of much discussion.
The media have talked about how her small stature - she is 4 feet 8 inches tall, or 1.42 meters - has helped her achieve one of the most historic gymnast careers in history with no less than five moves named after her.
Because of Biles’ height and low center of gravity, she can achieve more rotations, faster, than other gymnasts.
One publication likens it to the physics of a figure skater, who spins more quickly when their arms are pulled in. With smaller limbs, gymnasts like Biles can more easily complete intricate rotations during the limited time they are in the air.

But being scrutinized for her physical appearance has also proven difficult for the athlete.
In an interview with Vogue in 2020, Biles said that when she first started competing, all people talked about was her hair and the size and shape of her legs.
“But God made me this way, and I feel like if I didn’t have these legs or these calves, I wouldn’t be able to tumble as high as I can and have all of these moves named after me,” she said at the time.

Biles has not shied away from posting scantily clad pics of herself.
Earlier this month, Biles posted the first batch of photos from her Belize vacation in which she wore a bright green bikini.
Those photos sparked the first round of comments from netizens that she had undergone breast augmentation surgery.
Her latest photos from Belize also include a shot of her and Johnathan sitting on the side of the couch/bed.

In that photo she is wearing a black mesh covering around her hips and legs. Johnathan is sporting a brightly patterned shirt and short set.
The final photo shows Biles once again on her knees on the couch, this time holding up two fingers and sticking her tongue out.
In all the photos, one of her accessories stood out more than the rest.

Netizens are once again commenting on the apparent plastic surgery that Biles has undergone, with some wondering if it signals her retirement.
“This confirms she won’t be competing any longer,” one person wrote.
But most people were of the opinion that, “it’s her money and her body”, so she can do what she wants. And besides, most people think she looks great.
A final theme on the topic was along the lines of: who cares?
“Even if she did... none of our business!” one person wrote.
Most people online think Biles is beautiful and that she is free to do as she pleases with her own body
