Ron and Nellie Biles are the parents who raised Olympic gymnast and national treasure Simone Biles. They supported her interest and later career in gymnastics, cheered her from the sidelines, and stood behind her in her ambitions. However, they are not her birth parents. Ron is her biological grandfather. According to NBC, Biles was born to Ron’s daughter, Shanon Biles. Shanon struggled with drug and alcohol abuse, resulting in Simone and three siblings being removed from the home. From age three until six, Simone and her siblings lived in a foster home, where she has recounted looking forward to visits from her grandfather. Eventually, Ron and his wife Nellie could adopt Simone and her sister Adria, while a great-aunt adopted her other two siblings.
