“Consider this my postcard from South Africa,” Simone Biles captioned her Instagram post, and honestly, who can blame her? She and her husband, Jonathan Owens, are living their best lives on their belated honeymoon, nearly two years after their quick courthouse wedding in April 2023. The couple had a wild time at Jabulani Safari in Limpopo, spotting everything from leopards to lions to rhinos—and yes, they even saw a giraffe or two, probably giving them a side-eye. After that, they wound down with some sundowners, because what’s a safari without a drink to go with the sunset, right?
But then, just as we were all daydreaming about our African getaway, a fan asked an awkward question. And like clockwork, Simone shut it down instantaneously. ” A user by the name of “mmmarthe_,” wrote, “I can’t believe it’s y’all’s last day😭 it’s like it was my honeymoon too.” While the comment was probably meant to be sweet, it came off a bit too familiar, as if the fan was a little too emotionally invested in Simone’s vacation. But why would it be Simone’s last day in South Africa?
Simone Biles dreams of making South Africa her home
Simone, never one to let things slide, quickly responded with, “???? not our last day,” making it clear that their time in South Africa wasn’t over just yet. After all, this was a long-awaited honeymoon for Simone and her husband, Jonathan Owens, after they tied the knot in 2023. They’d been waiting two years for this trip, mainly due to their busy work schedules.
Now that they’re finally on their honeymoon and enjoying their seven days of adventure, you can bet they’re not ready to call it quits just yet. But Simone’s not just there for the vacation vibes—she’s got big plans! Soaking in the stunning beauty of South Africa, Simone Biles had a thought that made everyone pause: Why just visit when you can stay forever?
In a dreamy Instagram post, she shared a picture-perfect view of herself near the beach, surrounded by palm trees, a cozy house, and an endless stretch of land. “Ugh, let’s just buy a house here,” she wrote, leaving fans wondering if a beachside life might be in her future. Sounds like a dream, right? But of course, dreams like these come with a hefty price tag.
Beachfront homes in South Africa don’t exactly come cheap, so the question now is: Should Jonathan Owens start saving for a new house, or is love and adventure enough? Whether it’s a getaway spot or a business move, Simone clearly has big plans on the horizon.
