Simone Biles has weighed in on the likelihood of her bonding with fellow WAG Taylor Swift – teasing it’s Delicate situation.
The 11-time Olympic medalist, 27, was asked if she planned on spending time with the 34-year-old popstar at any future games at the premiere of her Netflix documentary Simone Biles Rising: Part 2 last week.
Biles is married to Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens, 29, and Swift is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
‘No, I’m currently on tour so unfortunately not,’ Biles said in an interview with Access Hollywood, referring to the Gold Over America Tour.
‘I’ve missed a lot of games. But as soon as we finish tour, then yes.’
However, she then pointed out a barrier between her becoming close to Swift.
‘But you usually don’t bond with opponents,’ she quipped.
The Chiefs and Bears are not scheduled to play each other during the 2024-2025 regular season, but played each other in the preseason in August with the Bears winning 34-21.
Their partners may be opponents but Swift, 34, and Biles have voiced their support for each other in the past.
Biles is currently on her Gold Over America Tour along with teammates Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera.
Together, they’re taking their success from the Paris Summer Olympics throughout the country, performing across the country on the 30-city arena tour.
In June, ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Cruel Summer singer reacted to a video of Biles’ floor routine set to …Ready For It? which was posted to X, formerly known as Twitter.
‘Watched this so many times and still unready. She’s ready for it tho,’ she wrote.
Biles responded to the exchange with Swift during an interview on Today, gushing: ‘I do love her.
‘She is so sweet.’
Swift narrated a promotion video for the Paris Summer Olympics, where she named three of the US athletes: Sha’Carri Richardson and Katie Ledecky.
‘Katie, Sha’Carri, and Simone,’ Swift said in the promo. ‘Three American stars, three different visions of greatness, tonight in Paris.’
Before the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, NBC posted a video voiced by Swift on social media.
‘Throughout the last week, her voice has been as significant as her talents,’ it said.
‘Her honesty as beautiful as the perfection that has long been her signature,’ she said in the video.
‘But don’t you see? It still is. She’s perfectly human. And that’s what makes it so easy to call her a hero. Simone Biles, back on the beam in Tokyo.’
