Nellie Bile ats admires her daughter’s strength and determination, but also sees her as a young adult who knows what she wants. She’s been a constant presence at Simone’s gymnastics meets, and her nail-biting reactions have often gone viral.

Nellie was devastated when she couldn’t be with her daughter in Tokyo during the 2021 Olympics, she revealed in a recent interview with Today where Simone had to pull out of multiple events due to the “twisties.” But Nellie plans to be in Paris for the upcoming Olympics, cheering on her daughter and shedding a few tears of happiness and pride.

Simone is a favourite to make the Olympic squad, and her mother knows that the important thing is to be there for her and give her full support.

Simone Biles biological mom Sharon is also her father daughter. Biles added, “….crazy explaining to people because I’m like, my biological mom is also my dad’s daughter and I call him dad.

So it’s just like everybody’s hella confused… It’s a whole family tree. My parents are my parents. I got chosen. Feeling blessed.

In short Simone was adopted by her grandparents because she ended up in foster care when she was just 3 years old because her biological mother Sharon suffered from alcohol and drug abuse.

Simone’s biological mother was unable to take care of her children as she went to jail often and left the Biles siblings in hunger and fear. Without her grandparents Simone Biles wouldn’t have been the world’s most celebrated gymnast ‘the G.O.A.T’ and now worth $16 million.
