The decorated gymnast’s mother opens up about her estranged relationship with her Olympic champion daughter. The mother of seven-time Olympic gold medallist Simone Biles has told the Daily Mail in an exclusive that she wants to rekindle her relationship with her world-famous daughter. Shanon Biles has long been waiting for a call from her estranged daughter , who parted ways with her mother in 2000 at 3 when Shanon put her and her younger sister Adria up for adoption.
Simone and Adria were raised by her grandfather Ron Biles and his wife Nellie in suburban Houston , Texas , after Ron learnt that Shanon’s children had been put in foster care. “When we signed the [adoption] papers, it was like my dad flipped a switch on me - no communication, don’t call, and don’t visit. That’s how it was at the beginning,” Shanon told the Daily Mail in a 2016 interview.
