In her Instagram Story, Biles showed off her signature athletic flair, landing a backflip before stating that she had caught a cramp mid-jump.
Yet it wasn’t her trampoline performance that stole attention. It was her playful reference to “new cherries” in her caption, which netizens took as a nod to long-running rumors about her apparent chest augmentation surgery.
The speculation first began in July when Biles posted a series of bikini photos from her tropical vacation in Belize with her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, according to the Daily Mail.

Fans flooded the comments with guesses about a possible transformation. “Looks like someone got the girls enhanced,” one follower wrote.
Until now, Biles hadn’t addressed the chatter. However, her recent Instagram Story seemed to serve as a wink to her audience, confirming the rumor without ever needing to say a word.
Some netizens, however, were less supportive of the gymnastics star's apparent surgery. “Get your money back luv, they look like crap,” one commenter wrote.

Still, others argued that Biles actually looks good with her enhancements. “She looks good with them. Well proportioned,” wrote a fan.

Away from gymnastics, Biles has been living it up in her personal life. Since marrying Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens in April 2023, the two have shared glimpses of their life together, from game-day excitement to casual moments with each other.
Earlier this week, Biles captured her emotional reaction as the Bears secured a nail-biting 25–24 victory over the Commanders, according to TMZ.
Watching alongside Tremaine Edmunds’ fiancée, Tee, she nervously placed her hands on her chest as kicker Jake Moody lined up for a 38-yard field goal.

When the ball sailed through the uprights, the two jumped up in delight, pulling others in for a massive celebratory hug.
The video showed a lot of joy, a side of Biles that her fans have come to adore as much as her dominance in professional gymnastics.

While her social media posts may be lighthearted, Biles’ competitive fire seems to be alive.
At the 2024 Paris Olympics, she reaffirmed her place as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, dominating the event by winning gold in the team, all-around, and vault competitions.
But she might not be done collecting medals just yet. During her appearance at the Ready25 conference in Australia, Biles was asked if she’d consider competing at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. “Never say never,” she replied, triggering speculations about a potential return to competitive gymnastics in the future.

The 2028 Olympics are expected to be held in Los Angeles, which is close to home for Biles. If she were to return, she would be 31 years old. She is already a legend in her sport, however, so her potential appearance would definitely make headlines.
Her potential return to the mat has brought some concerns among netizens, some of whom noted that her enhancements might end up adversely affecting her performance. Gymnastics, after all, is all about rhythm and precision.
“If she is planning on getting back into the sport, won't her enhancements affect her moves?” One commenter asked.

“I guess she's not planning to do competitive gymnastics anymore, because that's going to affect her center of gravity and rotation speed,” wrote another.
For now, though, Simone Biles seems happy to be enjoying her married life, and at least based on her recent social media post, her new cherries as well.
