Simone Biles is rocking with a new ‘do.
“I cut my hair,” Biles, 27, captioned a Saturday, November 30, Instagram Story mirror selfie.
In the snap, the Olympian posed for a pic with husband Jonathan Owens, as they both dressed casually in neutral-colored sweatpants and long-sleeved shirts. Biles, for her part, showed off her hair transformation. She wore her locks down in a bob chopped to her chin and curled at the edges.
Days earlier, Biles wore her long tresses in a high pony for Owens’ Thanksgiving Day football game between his Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions.
After the Bears lost 20-23, the 29-year-old NFL safety and Biles traveled home to Chicago for a belated Thanksgiving meal.
“Holidays are revolving around sports right now, especially in the football world with them sometimes playing,” Biles exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. “We’ll just have a chef come and cook. I think some of his teammates will come through and grab a plate, especially if they don’t have family in the area. It is a little bit more difficult, but it is kind of nice that we can just relax. It will be prepared by the time we get home.”
Biles has been a staple at Owens’ Bears games throughout the 2024-2025 season, often wearing her hair down in braids or in a tight ponytail. No matter which hairstyle Biles chose, she’s learned to accept the way it looked.
“I used to worry about [my hair being considered] not professional,” she told Elle earlier this year. But I’m not embarrassed about it anymore. Most of the backlash we get is from our own community, which is unfortunate. I don’t really care if my edges aren’t smooth.”
She added, “We’ve been able to take care of our hair better and take care of our beauty routines better. … I understand and realize I have to take care of my physical appearance as well as my mental. I’m finally learning to love my hair and the texture that I have and the styles that I can do.”
