Looks like the legendary gymnast Simone Biles isn’t too interested in befriending the pop icon Taylor Swift, unlike other WAGs. Despite sharing the same interests as the NFL, she feels there is no common ground with Swift due to their partners.
The four-time Olympic gold medalist and 14-time Grammy winner entered the world of the NFL because of their partners; the former is married to Chicago Bears’ Jonathan Owens and the latter is dating Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce. While many might want the two to get along, they have yet to meet.
Even if they do, Biles seems to believe that NFL rivalries extend beyond the horizons of the football field. And considering that her husband and Swift’s boyfriend are rivals in the NFL, she aims to show respect for the situation. During the premiere of her upcoming Netflix docuseries “Simone Biles Rising: Part 2,” Biles was asked about her bond with Swift.
“No, I’m currently on tour so unfortunately not. I’ve missed a lot of games but as soon as we finish tour then yes. But you usually don’t bond with opponents.

Both Biles and Swift are currently missing the games of their better halves. The 7-time Olympian is busy with her ‘Gold Over America’ tour and the “Midnight” singer is currently on her Eras Tour, which is scheduled to end in early December.
Simone Biles eager to return to Chicago after Gold Over America Tour end
Due to her professional commitments, Biles hasn’t attended the past few games of her husband and she is eagerly waiting to return to Windy City once her tour ends. The Gold Over America tour showcases the athletic skills and the journey to the gold of Biles, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and a few more Olympians, in a pop concert style.
Everything is shipped to Chicago already so I’m ready with gear. Whenever I reach out to some of our NFL designers I just let them take control and do it.
Simone Biles said
Her tour is scheduled to end on November 3, after which she is expected to attend many of the Bears’ games. The legendary gymnast met Owens during the pandemic, and they tied the knot three years later after falling madly in love. Biles has been attending Owens’ games since his time with the Green Bay Packers, just like how he supported her throughout the 2024 Paris Olympics.
