Slated for release on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, the series will not only dive into her athletic accomplishments and emotional hardships, it's also expected to shed light on the people who have formed her incredible journey including her parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles.
So, if you are gearing up to watch the documentary series, let's first learn about her personal connection.
Is Simone Biles adopted?
Born into challenging circumstances, Simone and her younger sister Adria found a loving and secure home with their grandparents, Ronald and Nellie Biles, when they were six years old.
According to NBC, Simone Biles's real mother is Ronald's daughter, Shanon, who lives with her mother in Cleveland, Ohio.
Shanon was unable to care for her children owing to her drug and alcohol abuse, so they were put in foster care when Simone was three-years-old.
Ron and his wife Nellie eventually adopted Simone and her sister Adria, while their great-aunt adopted the other two siblings.
The couple's choice to adopt the children marked the start of a new chapter in Simone’s life.
