An online rumor claimed Fox News reported major news about 11-time Olympic medalist and U.S. gymnast [Simone Biles](~/AASU4wA~/RgRolfTnP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvNndvZXRndWFwci8_bGhfYWlkPTQ4MzYwJmxoX2NpZD1xbGFlYWVpN3MyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmar6W-zZpwaBGhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAWw~~). According to the rumor — which dated back to at least late July 2024 — Biles announced her retirement after her first publicly disclosed pregnancy during the [2024 Paris Olympics](~/AASU4wA~/RgRolfTnP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvcHZvMjRtMHYxMi8_bGhfYWlkPTQ4MzYwJmxoX2NpZD1xbGFlYWVpN3MyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmar6W-zZpwaBGhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAWw~~), with Fox News purportedly revealing "she is 'expecting a baby.'" We found this rumor was false. If Fox News had truly reported about this matter or if Biles announced her pregnancy or retirement, prominent news organizations around the world would have picked up the story. A Fox News spokesperson told Snopes by email, "This was never reported by Fox News." Snopes Senior Reporter Jordan Liles has the details.
