Olympic champion Simone Biles is embracing change and luxury in her personal life, as evidenced by recent social media posts.

The 27-year-old gymnast has traded in her black Mercedes G-Wagon for a new white model featuring red leather interiors. Biles shared images of the high-end vehicle, which has a starting price of $150,000, on her social media accounts. One photo showed the athlete perched on the hood of the new car, which was adorned with a bow.

This automotive upgrade comes as Biles and her husband, Jonathan Owens, are overseeing the construction of a new home in Texas. The gymnastics star has been keeping fans updated on the progress of their future residence, sharing glimpses of its features including an all-white kitchen and open floor plan. In a video tour of the interior, Biles expressed her excitement about the project, noting that it would be a few more months before completion.

The 11-time Olympic gold medalist’s recent indulgences extend beyond her new car. Biles revealed on social media that her parents had gifted her a Hermès bag. While she didn’t disclose the specific model, Biles shared a photo of the brand’s signature orange box.

Addressing potential criticism of such expensive purchases, Biles playfully deflected on the Threads platform, writing, “don’t be mad at me, be mad at your parents.” This comment sparked supportive responses from fans, with one follower assuring her that no justification was necessary for owning the designer bag.

Owens faced backlash on social media for wearing his wife’s medals after her Olympic victories.

Biles’ biological mother recently said she wanted to connect with her daughter – but only if she reached out first.
