Although her fans are excited about the prospect, Simone Biles is bringing with her no small amount of joy.
Biles married Green Bay Packers defensive back Jonathan Owens earlier this year, and has attended a number of his games recently, the New York Post reported.

Biles posted a photo on Instagram from the Packers’ game against the New York Giants, and a number of commenters positively speculated on the idea that she might be expecting a baby.
Biles responded on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, asking fans to stop flooding her comments with rumors.
“I hate to have to address this, but please stop commenting on this photo or my Instagram in general about me being pregnant,” Biles wrote in the post. “I’m not pregnant.”
In a Q&A last year, Biles talked about the different family hopes she and Owens had.
“So, I want two kids,” she said, according to TMZ. “He always says he wants a football team.”
After they got married earlier this year, Biles was thrilled.
“I’ve never been so nervous in my life. [But,] I felt confident walking down the aisle. Seeing Jonathan at the altar was like a dream. Our guests were cheering everyone on. I was shocked by the love in the air. The party was so beautiful and dreamy!” Biles was called to Vogue magazine.
Biles returned to competitive gymnastics earlier this year after suffering a terrifying bout of ‘spins’ – a condition in which gymnasts experience an inexplicable loss of control while in the air – during the 2020 Olympics, held in Tokyo in 2021.
Last week, she spoke candidly about how happy she was to compete again.
“Honestly, it’s great to be back competing. I never thought I would compete again, so this is a blessing,” Biles told PEOPLE.
“My favorite moment is competing alongside my WCC teammates.”
