“I’m not one to normally share things like this because I value privacy in today’s age. But almost dying wasn’t on my bingo card this week,” Biles mentioned. Her husband, NFL star Jonathan Owens, was not current after signing with the Indianapolis Colts earlier this 12 months, following two seasons with the Chicago Bears.

“This was one of, if not the scariest experience of my life, especially since Jonathan was in Indy for practices,” Biles wrote. “I’ve been in bed resting this week. I’ll explain sooner or later, but [shoutout] to my close circle who reached out, checked in, visited & or sent flowers.”
