NEW YORK — Olympian Simone Biles says pop star Avril Lavigne stole her sunglasses at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s raffle-filled Madison Square Garden wedding earlier this month.
The seven-time Olympic gold medalist, 29, spoke at the Faces of Fitness festival Sunday when she was asked to share “gossip” from the July 3 nuptials, attended by an estimated thousand-plus guests.
“Avril Lavigne stole my sunglasses,” said the star gymnast, according to a TikTok making the rounds, adding that she’s DMed the 41-year-old “Sk8er Boi” crooner to ask for “‘those YSLs back.’”
“But I don’t think she’s seen it yet,” Biles said about the message.
In additional to all the star power, the wedding reportedly involved raffle giveaways, including a 1970s Chevrolet Chevelle, a Chanel purse, and Cartier watches.
In the days leading up to this weekend’s festival, where Biles discussed mental health in sports, she shared a photo of herself grinning in a hospital gown and shower cap on husband Jonathan Owens’ 31st birthday.
“His birthday but he takes me to get my procedure,” she captioned the image, which showed the Indianapolis Colts safety smiling in the background.
It’s unclear exactly what procedure Biles had to undergo, but it came less than two months after “almost dying” in early June.
Biles at the time shared with followers that while she preferred to opt for privacy, the incident “was one of, if not the scariest experiences of my life, especially since Jonathan was in Indy for practices.”
“I’ve been in bed resting this week, I’ll explain sooner or later,” wrote the star gymnast.
