Simone Biles has approached Caitlin Clark's best friend as she prepares to relocate to Indianapolis with her NFL husband.
NFL safety Jonathan Owens signed a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, ending his two-year stint with the Chicago Bears. Owens was brought in to help fill the void left by safety Nick Cross, who recently joined the Washington Commanders. The move also brings the couple to the heart of Indiana Fever territory.

Biles confirmed the relocation on Instagram with a celebratory post, which said: "No Friday the 13th scaries here... So proud of you, baby. Indy, here we come." Meanwhile, Clark disproved rumors that there is bad blood between her and Angel Reese.

Clark's best friend, Fever guard Lexie Hull, knows Biles through Athleta's Power of She Collective.
On the Olympic gold medalist's post, Hull commented: "Indy is excited to have you!!"
The gymnast later replied with: "@lexiehulll lunch??? I'll bring my stilts!!"
Biles is 4-foot-8 while Hull is 6-foot-1, which is a height difference of 17 inches.

Clark has a strong friendship with Hull and fellow teammate Sophie Cunnigham, who are known as the three leches or the three milks. The trio often spends time together away from the basketball court.
However, the trio, nor Hull and Biles' friendship, might not last long, with doubts surrounding Hull's future. The 26-year-old is an unrestricted free agent with the new WNBA season approaching and could be convinced to find a new challenge elsewhere. However, the Fever can match any deal Hull is presented with.
Hull enjoyed a career-best 2025 season, starting all 30 regular-season games and every one of the eight playoff contests. She posted career highs with 7.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, solidifying her status as a top priority for the Fever this offseason.
As a restricted free agent, Hull is set for a significant pay bump under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, which raises the minimum salary to over $300,000—up from the $88,261 she earned last season.

Clark is also on track to earn over $1 million annually in the WNBA, a huge leap from the $78,066 she made on her rookie contract in 2025. Her earnings were bolstered by roughly $16 million in endorsements, highlighting the stark gap between on-court pay and off-court opportunities.
Clark’s situation is exceptional, as many WNBA players rely on overseas contracts during the offseason to supplement their income.
In 2026, the Fever star’s revised rookie deal is expected to rise to around $400,000, and she will be eligible for a supermax contract starting in 2027. While the CBA still requires finalization, an agreement is in place to ensure next season proceeds as planned.
