Olympic legend Simone Biles recently treated herself to an iconic Hermès Birkin bag, and she made sure her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, was by her side for the special purchase.
The 27-year-old gymnast shared the moment with her fans on Instagram Stories while visiting New York City, where she revealed that buying the luxury handbag required some emotional reinforcement.
The coveted Hermès Birkin, a status symbol named after actress Jane Birkin, can sell for tens of thousands of dollars or even reach six figures in resale markets.
Its exclusivity and steep price tag make it a milestone purchase for many. TikTok trends have even sparked interest in more affordable “dupes,” like Walmart’s $78 version, but Biles opted for the real deal.
This latest addition to Biles’ Hermès collection follows her remarkable achievements at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she cemented her legacy as the most decorated gymnast in history.
