Simone Biles is sparking speculation after she shared some pictures from her recent tropical vacation. People are theorizing that she may have undergone breast augmentation.
The gold medal-winning Olympic athlete posted photos where she seems noticeably different in a lime-green bikini.
The athlete posted images of herself in San Pedro, Belize, with her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens made a lot of people question whether she had opted for some cosmetic procedures.
Dana Omari, who is a popular account on social media who posts about possible celebrity procedures and trends in general in the world of cosmetic surgery reposted a picture by the athlete and wrote, “Simone Biles with the breast aug!! She looks incredible.”
Biles has not addressed any of the rumors or speculation so far.
Last year, she opened up about getting ‘baby botox’ in a ‘get ready with me’ video she made. Baby botox refers to a procedure that uses smaller amounts of the toxin and focuses on specific areas of the face.
She however spoke of how she did not have a lot of appreciation for the procedure. She said, “For my 27th birthday, I got Botox, like baby botox, in my T-zone, and I did not like it.”
“I haven’t got it again because I would be standing there in practice and my eyebrow would randomly go like this,” she demonstrated by pulling her eyebrow up.
She said that some of her teammates would inform her that her brow ‘had moved’ but she was unable to do anything about it. Since then she has gained full mobility of her face and was not planning on getting more botox in the future.
In an interview she spoke about her self-confidence and her relationship with her self image.
“My relationship with beauty has changed a lot over time, sometimes with the trends and sometimes not,” she said.
“Now, I would still say my personal preference is always having a clean face and just being confident in who I am,” she added, saying, “I’ll have semi-permanent lashes the majority of the time, even if I don’t have make-up on, but I think that it’s really special to fall in love with what your natural face looks like.”
The athlete shared that she has noticed a positive shift for beauty standards when it comes to women, saying, “I do think that beauty standards are changing when it comes to that. It’s okay to not be wearing as much makeup when we’re out there performing, because that’s not the main focus.”
She, however, recalls the body-shaming she got, especially when she was starting out. She said, “They focused on my hair. They focused on how big my legs were.”
“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.”
As for whether the Olympian will return for the 2028 Olympics she told L’Equipe in an interview, “2028 seems so far away, and my body is aging. I felt it in Paris.”
“I went back to the [Olympic] village, I took the elevator, and my body literally collapsed. I was sick for 10 days,” she recalled.
She shared how she had aches and pains for three days after her last Olympic run.
“My relationship with beauty has changed a lot over time, sometimes with the trends and sometimes not,” she said.
All in all, it seems like Simone Biles is having a good time as she relaxes away from her stressful sports career. What do you think about the rumors regarding her plastic surgery? Let us know in the comments section on Facebook.
