Simone Biles (aka The G.O.A.T. of gymnastics) has earned many titles throughout her career. Not only does she have an 11-medal Olympic haul and 30 World Championship medals to her name, but she also received a major honor from Sports Illustrated. Despite her successful career, the 27-year-old athlete still finds time to recognize her parents. 

Today, Biles re-shared a photo on her Instagram Story in honor of her parents, Ronald and Nellie, who are celebrating their 48th anniversary. The Olympian also wrote a heartfelt message where she gushed over their exemplary marriage.

The gymnast wrote, “Happy 48th anniversary. My parents are so cute.”

The original post was shared on Nellie’s official account, and it featured a selfie of the happy couple and a heartfelt message that read: “HAPPY 48th ANNIVERSARY Ron. blessed that we can share this and every morning still starts with I love you.”

Biles previously discussed her close-knit relationship with her parents, who are actually her grandparents. The couple adopted the gymnast at age six when she was placed in foster care. 

“Being separated from my biological mom, being placed in foster care before I officially got adopted by my grandparents, it just set me up for a better route at life,” she said during an episode of Simone Vs. Herself.

Biles added, “I feel like I wouldn't be where I am unless that turning point happened. I would still be Simone Biles, probably not Simone Biles that everybody else knows, the world knows. But I also believe everything happens for a reason and I’m forever grateful for that because I definitely got a second shot at life.”

Wishing a very happy anniversary to Nellie and Ron!
