Sooooo Happy For her!!! To accomplish all of that while PREGNANT!!! America’s most decorated Olympic gymnast of all time, Simone Biles Announces Retirement at 27 After Securing Gold at Paris Olympics, Reveals she is ‘expecting a baby’ with her husband, Jonathan Owens. This joyous revelation marks a new chapter in her life as she steps away from competitive gymnastics to focus on her growing family… This is so EXCITING!!! l
An online rumor claimed that Fox News reported major news about 11-time Olympic medalist and U.S. gymnast Simone Biles. According to the rumor — which dated back to at least late July 2024 — Biles announced her retirement after her first publicly disclosed pregnancy during the 2024 Paris Olympics, with Fox News purportedly revealing “she is ‘expecting a baby.'”
At the same time users shared this rumor, Biles was busy winning some of those very same Olympic medals. The Associated Press reported, “The woman who didn’t think she’d even be here a couple of years ago will leave Paris — and perhaps her final Olympics — with three golds and a silver and something perhaps even more valuable: peace.
One reader emailed Snopes in early August 2024, asking, “Is Simone Biles pregnant and retiring?” Another person inquired, “I have seen in two places that Simone Biles is currently pregnant and one place denying the pregnancy.
According to a search of both FoxNews.com and Fox News TV channel’s text captions, the news network did not report any developments about Biles announcing a pregnancy or retirement, nor did she make any such statements on her own in late July 2024. We also located no credible records of Fox News publishing and then removing any related content from its website. A Fox News spokesperson told Snopes by email, “This was never reported by Fox News.”
In our initial research, the oldest post promoting this rumor appeared on Facebook in late July.
On July 31, a Facebook user named Daily Mail Report 2.0 posted (archived) in a Facebook group named Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes that Fox News “just reported” Biles announced her retirement and a pregnancy. As of Aug. 5, this was the oldest online record we found mentioning this rumor.
