Tragic News: Simone Biles Teary-eyed and heavy hearts broken after Reportedly Losses Dad Today over…See More
Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles is a legend in her sport.
While she was born with an incomparable natural talent for gymnastics, she aways says her parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles, were behind her success.
They are technically her biological grandparents, but they adopted Simone at age six after she and her siblings were placed in foster care.
Being separated from my biological mom, being placed in foster care before I officially got adopted by my grandparents, it just set me up for a better route at life,” Simone said of that time on her Facebook Watch series, Simone Vs. Herself. “I feel like I wouldn’t be where I am unless that turning point happened. I would still be Simone Biles, probably not Simone Biles that everybody else knows, the world knows. But I also believe everything happens for a reason, and I’m forever grateful for that because I definitely got a second shot at life.”
Here’s everything to know about Simone Biles’ biggest fans, Ronald and Nellie.
Who are Ronald and Nellie Biles?
The couple was married in January 1977. At the time, Ronald was serving in the Air Force. He met Nellie while stationed in San Antonio, Texas, according to The Undefeated. She was in nursing school. Ronald was already a single father to his daughter, Shannon, who is Simone’s biological mother. The couple went on to have two more children together, sons named Ronald Jr. and Adam.
Who are Simone Biles’ biological parents?
Simone was born in Columbus, Ohio, to Shanon Biles and Kelvin Clemons. Both struggled with addiction, and Shanon, who was raising her kids alone, couldn’t care for them properly. Simone shared on Dancing With the Stars in 2017: “Growing up, my biological mom was suffering from drug and alcohol abuse, and she was in and out of jail. I never had a mom to run to. I do remember always being hungry and afraid.”
At 3 years old, Simone entered foster care. “I don’t remember a lot about foster care, but I definitely knew that we had been taken from our biological mom, and then you just think you’re going to go back to her,” she shared on ‘Simone Vs. Herself.’
Despite the challenges, Simone feels grateful for her experience in the foster care system.

The Peninsula Hotel later expressed regret for turning down Williams, sharing on X: ‘Dear Mrs. Williams, Please accept our deepest apologies for the disappointment you encountered tonight.
Unfortunately, our rooftop bar was indeed fully booked and the only unoccupied tables you saw belonged to our gourmet restaurant, L’Oiseau Blanc, which was fully reserved.
‘We have always been honored to welcome you and will always be to welcome you again. The Peninsula Paris.’
Williams’ fans were quick to rip the hotel for rejecting the tennis legend as one X user asked: ‘How does one get denied when they are Serena Williams…… lol’
Glad you didn’t have to waste money there,’ another fan pointed out.
‘You’re better off not going, their food is subpar — I’ve unfortunately had to pay for it quite a few times,’ someone else said.
Williams has attended several Olympic disciplines with her six-year-old daughter, Olympia, and her family in Paris.

Olympic Integrity in Question: Simone Biles’ Honors Under Fire Amid Age Fraud Allegations
In a shocking turn of events, the Olympic community is reeling as allegations of age fraud surface against American gymnast Simone Biles. The 25-year-old gymnastics superstar, widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, is facing mounting pressure as many call for her honors to be stripped.
According to sources, an investigation has been launched into Biles’ age, with some claiming she may have falsified her birth certificate to compete in younger age groups earlier in her career. If true, this would be a violation of Olympic rules and could result in Biles being stripped of her medals and titles.
Biles has yet to comment on the allegations, but her team has released a statement denying any wrongdoing. “Simone has always been transparent about her age and has never attempted to deceive anyone,” the statement read.
As the investigation continues, the Olympic community is holding its breath. If Biles is found guilty, it would be a devastating blow to the sport and could have far-reaching consequences.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
