Who are the parents of Simone Biles?
Simone Biles was born into a family where both of her parents struggled with addiction. Simone’s biological father abandoned her and her family. Simone’s mother Shannon was struggling with her addictions, but she was unable to take care of her children, and that is why the three siblings were sent to foster care.
Simone and her younger sister, Adria, were adopted by their grandfather. Ron Biles and his sister, Nellie Ron, are former air force traffic cotrollers, and Nellie is a nurse who operated nursing homes in Houston. Simone was very active as a child, and she used to run and jump wherever she could. Simone started, training at a very young age as she carved her path to become a champion.
Ronald and Nellie, despite not being Simone’s biological parents, have always been there for her. They have been the biggest supporters of Simone and have encouraged her to take the gymnastics route.
Simone spoke about her life on Dancing with the Stars, and she mentioned, “Growing up, my biological mom was suffering from drug and alcohol abuse, and she was in and out of jail. She was placed in foster care at the age of 3, and she remembers being hungry and afraid.
Simone and Adria were adopted by Ronald and Nellie in 2003. Simone’s mother, Nellie, also shared her struggles in raising Simone and Biles and how it was difficult for her to bond with the girls at first, but Simone’s biological mother, in an interview with the Daily Mail, said how it was difficult for her to give up on her children, but due to her conditions, she was left with no choice. Shanon, who is Simone’s biological mother, is still in touch with her father; however, her father, Kelvin Clemons, is not a part of his father’s life but is proud of her achievements.
