Simone Biles “definitely” wants to be a mother one day.
Biles, coming off her performance in the 2024 Olympics where she won three gold medals and a silver, spoke to Hoda Kotb on NBC’s “Today” show on Tuesday about a wide range of topics.
Kotb told Biles that she could “easily” see the gymnast as a mother and asked her whether she has thought about that phase of her life.
“Yes, me and Jonathan always talk about kids,” Biles answered, referring to her husband, Bears defensive back Jonathan Owens.
“He would have had them like yesterday if he could have. Obviously, we both have goals that we want to achieve before we start a family.”
Kotb followed up, asking Biles if she sees herself as a mom.
“Yes, most definitely,” Biles said.
Elsewhere in the interview, Kotb wondered if Paris was the swan song for Biles’ Olympics gymnastics career.
“You know, you never say never. The next Olympics [Los Angeles 2028] is on home turf, so you just never know,” Biles laughed. “I’m just gonna relax and see where life takes me.”

“If she feels like it is time to focus on life… because when you are locked in, you do have to sacrifice a lot and you do miss a lot,” Owens said.
“That’s the one thing that she would just have to figure out for herself. And like I said, man, I’m here to support her a thousand percent and whatever she decides to do.”
