Simone Biles Celebrates Dad Ronald’s 75th Birthday — Again — After Initial Paris Olympics Festivity: ‘The Cutest’
Simone Biles is celebrating a major milestone for her dad!
On Saturday, Aug. 24, the seven-time Olympic gold medalist shared a photo to her Instagram Stories in celebration of her father Ronald Biles’ 75th birthday.
“my dad is the cutest, happy 75th,” she wrote over a photo of Ronald, who wore a Cleveland Browns jersey in front of brown and orange balloons in what looks to be the family’s living room in Texas.
On Aug. 8, Ronald’s actual birth date, the Biles family marked the occasion in Paris during the 2024 Olympics, with Simone sharing photos to Instagram to show off one particularly glamorous present he received that day.
The gymnast shared a close-up photo of seven champagne glasses featuring her father, and a selfie of herself wearing some bedazzled sunglasses as well as her famous “GOAT” (a.k.a “greatest of all time”) necklace as she dressed up for the special event.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD,” she wrote in one of the posts.
Simone’s sister, Adria Biles, also celebrated their father’s birthday on Aug. 8, sharing photos to Instagram that showed off some of Ronald’s bling that was gifted to him by Snoop Dogg.
Ronald showed off the gold Death Row Records necklace in one picture and Adria jokingly wrote, “snoop gave him a chain now he don’t know how to act.”
“75 looks great on you! happy birthday i love you,” she added
The Biles family also attended the track and field competitions that day. In one of Simone’s snaps, Ronald can be seen wearing a red “Team USA” hat and holding up a chocolate cake with lit candles that reads, “Happy Birthday.”
Just one day after her dad’s birthday, Simone also revealed that her parents had treated her to a fashionable surprise in Paris — an Hermés bag.
“My parents bought me my hermes bag,” the 11-time Olympic medalist wrote on Threads. “Don’t be mad at me, be mad at your parents.
Simone has been candid in the past about her close relationship with Ronald, as well as her mom Nellie. The couple adopted her and Adria when the gymnast was 6 years old.
In July 2021, during the Tokyo Olympics, Simone credited her parents with helping her after she withdrew from several events to focus on her mental health.
“Thanks for making sacrifices since day 1 so I can live out my dream. but most importantly thanks for always being there for me through all the highs and lows,” Simone wrote on Instagram at the time. “You guys are the absolute best. I love y’all.”
