Simone Biles Joins Taylor Swift’s Wedding Gossip Train

Apparently, Simone Biles and Avril Lavigne have unfinished business from Taylor Swift‘s wedding!

The world-class gymnast attended the very private wedding ceremony between the singer and her NFL player beau, Travis Kelce, earlier in the month, and is revealing that a famous vocalist parted with one of her prized possessions.

Simone Biles attended the wedding at Madison Square Garden, accompanied by her husband, Jonathan Owens, and dressed to impress in a stunning red number by Vietnamese designer Đỗ Long.

The Olympic medalist detailed the unexpected moment she discovered her expensive eyewear was no longer in her possession as she enjoyed the night at Swift and Kelce’s wedding ceremony.

Biles and her NFL player husband joined hundreds of other celebrities from the sports and music world to witness the lovebirds exchange their vows. On Sunday, July 26, during an appearance at the Faces of Fitness festival in Chicago, the athlete revealed that Lavigne might have unknowingly left the venue with her prized eyewear.

As shared by US Weekly, she added that she eventually reached out on Instagram with a light-hearted message asking if the accessory could be returned, but she does not think the “Complicated” singer has seen it yet. Biles’ story about her missing eyeglasses continues to complete the puzzle of things that may have gone down at Swift and Kelce’s union.

While her eyewear remains unreturned, the athlete can take solace that her statement-making dress left a lasting impression on internet users.

The outfit, which includes a halter neckline with a half-open back, created an optical illusion of rippling chainmail, with layers of leather interwoven with silver metallic jewels and red eyelets. 

Biles paired her look with silver accessories, matching purses, and heels, styling her hair in a high bun with a side-swept fringe detail. Owens matched her aesthetic in a burgundy-and-black suit, prompting fans to gush endlessly about their flawless styling and appearance.

“The epitome of perfection. You’ve earned it all! Truly stunning and pure grace,” impressed fans wrote, declaring that Biles has set the bar high for beauty.

Swift and Kelce’s wedding was a gift that kept on giving, and it did give two guests an unexpected brush with Tom Cruise. During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” alongside Kevin Hart, Marcello Hernández said the biggest surprise of the night wasn’t the star-studded guest list but getting the chance to chat with Cruise. 

The SNL comedian shared with host Andy Cohen that the two bonded over growing up in households surrounded by women, calling the conversation one of the highlights of the evening. As noted by PEOPLE, Hart then jokingly teased Hernández for supposedly sneaking videos despite the wedding’s no-phone policy. 

Hernández quickly laughed it off and insisted he never broke the rules, even playfully addressing Kelce to clear his name. Former NFL star Greg Olsen also had a memorable encounter at the superstar’s wedding.

In his podcast, days after the wedding, Olsen said he remembers that at the cocktail hour, Cruise went out of his way to compliment his hat, and a conversation started outside the men’s restroom that lasted but a few moments.

The American sports commentator detailed another memorable moment at the duo’s wedding, which began as soon as the groom laid eyes on Swift for the first time while she took a walk down the aisle. Appearing on The Athletic’s Starkville podcast, the veteran sportscaster recalled that Kelce became visibly emotional throughout the ceremony. 

USA Today noted that Buck recalled the NFL star first tearing up as his nieces walked down the aisle before becoming even more overwhelmed when Swift made her entrance. Buck also commended the length, sincerity, humor, and personal commitment in the couple’s vows. 

He revealed that the ceremony felt genuine, leaving him convinced the July 3 celebration at Madison Square Garden was the couple’s official wedding rather than a symbolic event. The reception was equally special, as he had the chance to meet Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Scarlett Johansson.

Paul McCartney’s “I Want to Hold Your Hand” was another highlight of the night for the media personality. He noted that despite an estimated 1000 people present, he spent the night wondering who would come along and tell him he was not supposed to be there.

Not just for the happiest days of their lives, Swift also showed up for Biles during one of the lowest moments of her career as a gymnast. As reported by The Blast, when Biles announced her decision to step back from several events at the Tokyo Olympics due to mental health reasons, Swift was there to lift her.

The singer praised Biles’ courage in a promotional video, commending her willingness to be so open about her struggles. She described that move as a remarkable part of her encouraging story and journey, which has made her a champion and an inspiration.

Biles responded to the gesture, thanking Swift for her thoughtful words, which moved her emotionally. Swift added that the gymnast’s lifestyle had taught her valuable lessons about resilience and emotional strength.

Since making that decision in 2021, Biles had remained open about mental health topics and prioritized therapy. Although she made a remarkable return and dominated the charts at the Paris Olympics, winning three gold medals and one silver, she is still on the fence about competing in 2028.
