Awww, how can you not love Simone and Momma Biles?!

[@JerryWatkinsMrRobot]

I love this young woman so much. She is everything that's right about the world.

[@myfaithwalk8700]

I know and Daily Mail is trying to break her down by interviewing her biological mother. It can be traumatic, why have her relive her childhood trauma. It’s disrespectful.

[@tubbysole]

1:12 Simone is just the sweetest person alive.

[@Ast3rixMusic]

Wow so much love!!! Simone has gone through so much hardship in her life. I’m glad that she can laugh at all. Most of us would be crying. She is very strong willed and she really is an inspiration for all of us to keep pushing no matter what life throws at you. Whatever your passion is just focus and be the best at it.

[@y_ani]

i love how when nellie said “why do you laugh so much?” simone started laughing 😂

[@betsysindani3171]

A great daughter who appreciates parents. That's why she is blessed. A great Mom. That's why God rewarded her effort. You are cute. Long life.

So Kylie Jenner, an inexplicably famous socialite gets over a million views and thousands of comments in a video whre she puts on makeup in the bathroom with 2 friends. Simone Biles hardly breaks 8 thousand views and 14 comments after 2 months. What the hell is wrong with people? The world is absurd, stupid and backwards. Simone Biles is the greatest athlete of all time, in the most difficult sport in the world, and not by default, but by hard work and incredible merit. Not by being born in privilege to another famous-for-no-good-reason parent, but by beating overwhelming odds. And then we wonder why space aliens don't land on Earth. We have a looong way to go.

[@YahushaDollie]

space aliens aren't real hun, but Jesus Christ is! Put your faith in him because unfortunately the world only gets worse from here.

[@jorgeedwuard1449]

It is what it is really. Some people are lucky and born into fame. Others have to earn and pave their way. It's not really a choice to be born to a famous family or a normal family.

[@jorgeedwuard1449]

And I would hold that thought on the greatest athlete of all time.She is very talented and I respect her. But you can't really call her the greatest athlete of all time after she has only participated in only 1 Olympic Games. She has a long way to go. Now a guy like Michael Phelps, who has participated in 4 Olympic Games and has earned 23 gold medals, is worthy of being called one of the greatest athletes of all time. Like I said Simone has a long way to go and is still really young. Also in my opinion, there is no single greatest athlete of all time. There are plenty of athletes who are considered the greatest of all time in there respective sport and sports in general.

[@francescalittle]

I think it also has to do with the level of difficulty and discipline required of gymnastics compared to other sports. Not that I don't admire athletes like Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt. I absolutely do. It's just that the types of moves executed by gymnasts require a combination of skills, bravery and perseverence that most of us can only dream of having. So in my view they really are the ultimate athletes. There is also a short window of time in which they can compete, so it's unlikely that they would ever be able to participate in more than two olympics events. It's a subjective thing of course and if you admire Michael Phelps the most that's cool too.

[@junehelafine]

Simone we wish you the best in Rio good luck👏👏👏💋

This is what a real MOTHER is even though they are not related but luckily they are legally so 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 it really don't matter is they are blood related as long as they are loved is enough 💖

[@TravelHall74]

They're her biological moms parents.

[@corazoncubano5372]

They are related. That is Biles real grandmother, who raised her so she is also her mother.

[@janiecej7637]

@@TravelHall74the adoptive father is the only parent that is “biologically” related to Simone. Beautiful Nellie is not Shannon’s biological mom.

Where You been?

They asked her and her sister what they wanted to call them when adopted them ,grandmother or grandfather ,mother and father. The girls chose the latter so they are her parents,also,both .

[@sozo776]

YAAAZZZZ

[@fumis2045]

Why did they gave to change to mom...why couldn't it still be grandma?

[@annacopeland6339]

Because the Grandmother took on the role of Mother when Simone was very Young. Simone gave Her the Title MOM...

[@pedward323]

Get a life she is black and is married to her grandfather . When she was 6 they adopted her ,asked her and her sister what did they want to call them and they preferred ,mother and father. Without them there would be no Simone as we know her ,the Simone who was in foster care and had a drug and alcohol addicted mother ,in that environment this gifted child would have been lost.

why ,you life. because. life is. fine.....

They legally adopted her so that IS her mother regardless to who gave birth to Simone.
