According to Brittanica, Simone Biles was born on March 14, 1997, in Columbus, Ohio, to her biological parents, Shanon Biles and Kelvin Clemons. When she was about 2-years-old, however, she was entered into the foster care system along with her siblings. At the time, her mom had been struggling "with drugs and alcohol," according to USA Today. "We were really fortunate because we got to stay with our siblings, which most siblings get separated. We had a good experience in foster care," Simone told the outlet.

It was Simone's grandfather, Ron Biles, and his wife, Nellie, who stepped up and offered to care for Simone and her siblings, moving them to Texas. A couple of years later, however, Simone's mother wanted to give things another try, according to USA Today. The children were entered back into the system in hopes that things would work out, but they didn't. At that point in time, Ron and Nellie filed to officially adopt Simone and her younger sister, Adria, while their two older siblings went to live with Ron's sister in Ohio.

Simone has been very candid about her life in foster care and the adoption process, according to Marie Claire. In fact, when she was on "Dancing With the Stars," she shared some of her story. "I never had mom to run to. I do remember always being hungry and afraid," she said during one interview, later admitting that her parents — Ron and Nellie — "saved" her.
