Simone Biles rocks a new ‘do.
“I cut my hair,” Biles, 27, wrote during an Instagram Story mirror selfie on Saturday, November 30.
In the snap, the Olympian posed for a photo with husband Jonathan Owenswhile they were both dressed casually in neutral-colored sweatpants and long-sleeved shirts. For her part, Biles showed off her hair transformation. She wore her locks in a bob that was cut to her chin and curled at the edges.
Days earlier, Biles wore her long locks 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 late Thanksgiving meal.
“Holidays are all about sports right now, especially in football, where they sometimes play,” Biles said exclusively. We weekly earlier this month. “We’ll just have a chef come and cook. I think some of his teammates will stop by and grab a plate, especially if they don’t have family nearby. It’s a little more difficult, but it’s nice that we can relax for a while. It’ll be ready by the time we get home.’
Biles was a staple at Owens’ Bears games throughout the 2024-2025 season, often wearing her hair down in braids or in a tight ponytail. Whatever hairstyle Biles chooses, she has learned to accept what it looks like.
“I used to worry about it [my hair being considered] not professional,” she said Elle earlier this year. But I’m not ashamed of it anymore. Most of the backlash we get comes from our own community, which is a shame. I don’t really care if my edges aren’t smooth.”
She added: “We have been able to take better care of our hair and our beauty routines. … I understand and realize that I need to take care of my physical appearance as well as my mental appearance. I’m finally learning to love my hair, the texture I have and the styles I can do.”
