Upgrades are always sweet. And if it’s about bringing a new toy into your garage, even better! For Simone Biles, life looks pretty swell right now. With three gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the gymnast is riding on Cloud 9.

And yet, having to stay away from her beau Jonathan Owens because of his NFL responsibilities continues to throw shade on her jubilation. But Biles has just the thing to keep her mind off her long-distance relationship with the football safety.

In her recent Instagram story, Simone shared the new mechanical beast she’s brought into her house.

From the looks of it, her trusty companion of years, the Mercedes AMG G63, will be parting ways with the Olympian.

Captioned, “out with the old,” the IG story showed Biles posing beside the car for one last time as the sun sets in the background.

However, Simone sported an even broader smile on her face in the very next story, where she can be seen sitting pretty on the hood of her new car: a brand new Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Along with the high price tag of the car, Biles looks to have customized the entire interior of the machine with orange upholstery, making its overall cost a little over $200,000.

The iconic luxury off-roader will be the gymnastics sensation’s new ride and could also become the reliable pal that the AMG G63 was for Simone.

As Biles and Owens’ new abode nears completion, it looks like the country’s most decorated gymnast of all time is also redoing the house in other aspects than just planning out the kitchens and the living areas.

The gymnast and the NFL have been meticulously designing every single facet of their house for months, and the new addition to their vehicular fleet is already looking like a hit.

However, while it remains to be seen if Biles enjoys her new car as much as she did her last, this could well fuel more winds to the fire that’s raging across social media over the past few days.

A new wave of criticism to land upon Simone Biles?

After the completion of the 33rd Olympic Games, news of Simone’s birth mother Shanon Biles expressing her wishes to reconcile with her eldest daughter shocked the world.

The gymnastics community was moved to learn that Shanon has been swamped with her medical troubles, while financial burdens continue to be a major hurdle in her life.

Working as a Save A Lot cashier, Shanon revealed how her life hasn’t been the smoothest ride so far in an interview with Daily Mail. Naturally, many fans claimed that Simone should do something to help the person who brought her to the world.

However, the fact that Shanon abandoned her children due to her own drug problems, made the whole issue debatable as others opined that Simone doesn’t owe Shanon anything after what the latter had to go through during those years in foster care.

The issue was sparked after the gymnastics icon shared a photo of her new Hermes bag on social media, irking some fans by allegedly flaunting her wealth when her own mom is finding it difficult to cope with the hardships of life.

However, it’s clear that Simone has her head in the clear about where she stands on the matter. On the other hand, considering how Simone and her siblings had a tough childhood, and how difficult the gymnast has worked through the years to become one of the greatest stars of the sport in history, few would argue she doesn’t deserve any of the luxuries that come her way.
