Inside Simone Biles' Relationship With Her Biological Mother

Shanon Biles, Simone Biles' biological mother, has been sober since 2007 and she works as a home-help aid, as reported by Women's Health. According to Heavy, she is also on probation for assault as of publication and, after having Ashley Biles-Thomas, Tevin Biles-Thomas, Simone, and Adria Biles, she had two more children, Taron and Shania.

In her Daily Mail interview from 2016, Shanon stated that her conversations with Simone are brief, "like, 'I miss you, I love you, I can't wait to see you, I'm proud of you, I'm watching. You go girl.'" But Simone has elaborated on the situation in appearances and on-screen conversations. 

"Growing up, my biological mom was suffering from drug and alcohol abuse, and she was in and out of jail. I never had mom to run to," Simone shared in 2017, when appearing on "Dancing with the Stars." She went on to speak of how being adopted impacted her for the better. "My parents saved me. They've set huge examples of how to treat other people, and they've been there to support me since day one. There's nothing I could say to them to thank them enough," she said, via Women's Health. Here's to wonderful parents and the support they show!
