Breaking News: Simone Biles Turns Heads for Iconic Photo With Gymnastics Rival After Making Unsettling Olympics Confession…Read More 👇

Since the GOAT gymnastics tour wrapped up last year, Simone Biles has been living her best life, traveling the world and spending quality time with her husband, Jonathan Owens. But for this month, her stop in Madrid had a different vibe. No, Jonathan wasn’t by her side in the Spanish capital — yet Simone’s excitement was off the charts.
Why? Because Madrid wasn’t just for vacation. It was where Simone would be honoured with the prestigious Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year Award for her electrifying “Redemption Tour” comeback. And there was another reason — one that had Simone practically buzzing with anticipation.
Before the awards night, in a conversation with Laureus, Simone was asked, ‘whom she is most excited to see at the awards?’ Without missing a beat, with a big smile, Simone said, “Rebeca.” The chance to meet up with her fiercest rival and dear friend, Rebeca Andrade, made her say: “I feel like me and Rebeca’s friendship is so fun… And I feel like we push each other to every boundary,” Simone said.
True to her words, when they reunited in Madrid, Simone and Rebeca made the most of every moment, which even a week later, Simone still can’t stop thinking about. Need proof?
On April 27, Simone dropped a sweet surprise on Instagram: she uploaded a snap, previously shared on her story back on April 19, showing her and Rebeca standing inside the legendary Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, soaking in the electric atmosphere of Real Madrid’s match against Athletic Club.
No lengthy caption needed. Simone let her emotions do the talking, simply posting “🤍💚🤍💚🤍” — pure, unfiltered joy.
The photo captured the duo in a candid, heartwarming moment: Rebeca proudly rocking a Real Madrid jersey, while Simone kept it effortlessly cool in a brown leather jacket dress. And the feelings were mutual. Just hours later, Rebeca Andrade reposted a different backstage photo of her and Simone — laughing and glowing at the Bernabéu — in her Instagram story. Her caption? A string of emojis, speaking louder than words ever could.
So, Madrid wasn’t just a tour stop. For Simone and Rebeca, it was a celebration of friendship, rivalry, and pure sports love — a night both champions will probably treasure long after the final whistle. But speaking about the final whistle, have Simone Biles and Rebeca said anything regarding their next contest or Olympic participation?
