Simone Biles and her husband, Jonathan Owens, are currently enjoying a long-awaited honeymoon in South Africa, nearly two years after their courthouse wedding in April 2023. The couple has been making the most of their trip, embarking on thrilling adventures such as a safari at Jabulani Safari in Limpopo, where they spotted a variety of wildlife, including leopards, lions, rhinos, and even giraffes. To cap off their safari experience, they enjoyed sundowners—an essential part of any African safari, allowing them to relax with drinks while watching the sunset.
True to her signature style, Simone made sure to add her own flair to the experience by donning an animal print bathing suit, blending into the wild surroundings. The excitement didn’t stop there, as the couple was later seen climbing the roof of Cape Town’s DHL Stadium. While Simone seemed comfortable with the adventure, Jonathan admitted to feeling nervous, humorously exclaiming, “Insane. I’m terrified.”
After a week filled with safaris, rooftop climbs, and romantic dinners, fans began to wonder whether the couple was preparing to return to Texas. However, a new post from Simone on February 25th suggested otherwise. She shared a collection of stunning photos on Instagram, with the first slide featuring a breathtaking view of mountains and a pool nearby. In another image, she appeared in a red bikini, paired with a white shirt and sunglasses, soaking up the African sun. Her caption, “What day is it?” hinted that she had completely immersed herself in the experience, perhaps even losing track of time.
Among the many responses to her post, one comment from a fan stood out. The user, appearing deeply invested in their trip, wrote, “I can’t believe it’s y’all’s last day😭 it’s like it was my honeymoon too.” While likely meant as a heartfelt remark, it came across as overly familiar. Simone wasted no time in clearing up any misconceptions, replying, “???? not our last day.” This response confirmed that the couple was not yet ready to leave, and their honeymoon was still in full swing.
Beyond just a vacation, Simone appears to be considering something more permanent. Captivated by the beauty of South Africa, she shared another Instagram post expressing a bold idea: “Ugh, let’s just buy a house here.” This left fans wondering whether she was serious about making South Africa her future home. The thought of settling down in a place so rich in natural beauty and adventure certainly seems tempting.
However, purchasing a beachfront property in South Africa would require significant financial investment. Whether this is just a dream or a serious consideration remains to be seen. It raises the question: Should Jonathan Owens start saving for a new home, or is their love for adventure enough for now? Regardless of whether they make a permanent move, one thing is clear—Simone Biles has big dreams, and South Africa has certainly captured her heart.
