Breaking News: No More Stress Simone Biles Announces Breakup From…
In a surprising announcement this morning, Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles revealed she is stepping away from the intense spotlight that has surrounded her for years, and in doing so, also announced a breakup from her high-profile relationship with public life. After years of balancing her athletic career, social media presence, and personal struggles, Biles said that the constant pressure and stress have taken a toll on her well-being.
“I’ve spent my entire life performing for the world, trying to be perfect, and always feeling like I have to meet expectations that were never my own,” Biles shared in a heartfelt Instagram post. “Today, I’m choosing peace over the constant noise, and that means walking away from something I’ve known for a long time—being a public figure.”
The decision came after months of reflection following her decision to pull out of several events during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics to prioritize her mental health. Biles has been one of the most prominent athletes in the world, but her recent struggles have led her to reevaluate what truly matters in her life.
The gymnastics champion, who made history with her unparalleled skills and achievements, has always been open about her mental health journey. In her post, Biles emphasized that her breakup is not just with the world’s expectations of her, but also with the pressure that comes from being in the public eye. “This doesn’t mean I’m walking away from my passions, but it does mean that I’m choosing to exist outside of what the world expects of me.”
Biles’ relationship with NFL player Jonathan Owens, whom she got engaged to in 2022, appears unaffected by the decision. Sources close to the couple have confirmed that they continue to support each other as Biles embarks on this new chapter of focusing on her mental and emotional well-being.
As fans and media respond to her announcement, many have expressed admiration for her courage in prioritizing her own happiness. Biles’ influence extends far beyond the gym, and this new move signals a shift in the conversation around athletes, mental health, and the pressure of living up to public expectations.
