Untold Story: Simone Biles' Parents & Biological Mother Shanon
What shapes a champion? Is it solely talent and relentless training, or are the unseen threads of family history, both present and absent, woven into the very fabric of their being? The story of Simone Biles, the most decorated American gymnast in history, is inextricably linked to the complex relationship she shares with her parents, particularly her biological mother, Shanon Biles.
Simone Arianne Biles was born on March 14, 1997, in Columbus, Ohio, the third child of Shanon Biles. Her early life was far from idyllic. Shanon battled with drug and alcohol addiction, creating an unstable environment for Simone and her siblings. Her biological father, Kelvin Clemons, was largely absent. Due to Shanon's struggles, Child Protective Services intervened, eventually leading to a pivotal moment in Simone's life: her adoption by her maternal grandfather, Ronald Biles, and his wife, Nellie.
