Simone Biles’ birth mom wants to reconcile as she begs Olympic gymnast for ‘forgiveness’

Simone Biles’ biological mother has expressed her wish to reconcile with her Olympian daughter. In a Tuesday interview with Daily Mail,

Shanon Biles revealed that she wants to “make amends” with the 27-year-old gymnast. Due to the Ohio native’s struggles with addiction, Simone was placed in foster care and later adopted by her grandparents at the tender age of 6

I’m waiting for the opportunity but I’m waiting on her to be able to come to me. Let’s sit down. I just have to be patient,” she continued. Shanon explained that although she is not in contact with her daughter anymore, she continually asks her father, Ronald Biles, Simone’s adoptive parent, about her.

“What I hear about Simone I hear through my dad. I speak to my dad all the time. We’re good now. It was just his birthday, and I called to wish him happy birthday,” she said, adding, “If I need to know anything I call my dad. I ask him about Simone, and he keeps me posted.
