Shanon Biles, the estranged mother of Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, publicly seeks forgiveness and hopes for reconciliation. In a Daily Mail interview, Shanon reflects on her past struggles with addiction and expresses a desire to mend her relationship with Simone and her sister Adria.

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Shanon Biles, the estranged mother of gymnastics champion Simone Biles, publicly expressed her wish for reconciliation. Shanon, now 52, has reflected on her past decisions that led her to give up Simone and her sister Adria to their grandparents, Ron and Nellie Biles when the girls were toddlers due to her struggles with addiction.

Shanon shared her hopes of one day personally seeking forgiveness from Simone, emphasizing that she is ready to make amends and move forward. “I would like to make amends with Simone personally — I’m just waiting for her and Adria,” Shanon said. “I hope to sit down and discuss our past. Please don’t judge me on my past. Let’s move forward.”

Shanon, who has been sober and is currently working as a cashier, admitted that she has been following Simone’s recent Olympic success from her home in Columbus, Ohio. Despite not having direct communication with Simone, she remains hopeful for a potential reunion. Shanon mentioned that she stays informed about her daughters through her father, Ron.

The public reaction has been mixed. Some express empathy for Shanon’s desire to reconnect, while others criticize her for seeking forgiveness only now, after Simone’s success. Comments online reflect a broader debate about accountability and the timing of such reconciliation efforts.

Simone, who has previously been clear about her relationship with her biological mother, continues to focus on her achievements and personal life. The complex dynamics between Simone and her estranged mother remain a sensitive subject as both navigate their past and future interactions.

After she finished competing, earning three golds and one silver for Team USA, the 27-year-old took in the sights of the French capital with her sister, Adria.

‘From paris with love,’ Biles captioned a series of Instagram snaps on Tuesday.

Biles also looked gleeful as she struck a pose on a balcony, while rocking a sweater that read, ‘Not from Paris Madame.’

The decorated athlete later jetted home to the US, where she told fans she’s ‘never been so happy.’

She reunited with her husband, Jonathan Owens, who was cheering her on in Paris while on a short break from the Chicago Bears training camp.

She toasted her success in the French capital with a party alongside Adria at ritzy nightclub, L’Arc Paris.

‘If you see me out at the club, pls tell me to go home,’ Biles joked over the clip shared to her Instagram Story.

‘For my own sake and health in the am (morning),’ she added.

Biles was a leading light for Team USA, who finished top of the medal table at the Paris Olympics.

Naturally, she was tapped to get involved in the Closing Ceremony, where she handed the five-ringed Olympic flag to Tom Cruise, signaling the passing of the torch from Paris to Los Angeles, where the 2028 Games will be held.

Simone Biles’s estranged mother publicly begs her daughter for an opportunity to reconnect.

Shanon Biles, the estranged mother of superstar gymnast Simone Biles, has recently expressed her desire to reconnect with her daughter.

Simone recently added to her gold medal count at the Paris Olympics, calcifying her legacy as one of the greatest gymnasts ever. She won three gold medals in the Paris Games: artistic individual all-around, artistic team All-around and value artistic gymnastics, bringing her total Olympic gold medal count to seven.

Biles has been in high spirits since the games, enjoying her triumph and revelling in her GOAT status. She could be set for some sober—tear-jerking—talks soon, however, as her mother, Sonia, who abandoned her as a child, has taken to the public her desire to mend their relationship.

What Sonia said

The 52-year-old abandoned Simone and her younger sister Adria with their grandparents Ron and Nellie Biles while they were kids, as she struggled with drug and alcohol addiction.

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, she sought forgiveness from her daughter and hopes they can reconnect.

“I would like to make amends with Simone personally; I’m just waiting for her and [her younger sister] Adria,” Shanon said.

“I speak to Adria more than I speak to Simone. I would just ask her to forgive me. Can we move forward? Don’t judge me on my past. Let’s move forward.

“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.”

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.

During the lengthy and emotional interview, Shanon recalled losing the custody of her children while she was embattled with financial and legal woes. Recounting her troubled past, the 52-year-old expressed her hopes of reconciliation as she begged Simone for forgiveness.

“I would like to make amends with Simone personally. I’m just waiting for her and Adria,” Shanon told the outlet, adding that she speaks to Simone’s younger sister, Adria more than her. “I would just ask her to forgive me. Can we move forward? Don’t judge me on my past. Let’s move forward,” she said of the 11-time Olympics champion.

“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.”

The most decorated gymnast is sporting more than Olympic gold medals this summer

Simone Biles is sporting more than just Olympic gold medals this summer.

The most decorated gymnast is now the owner of an iconic Hermés bag — one of fashion’s most coveted items.

“My parents bought me my Hermés bag,” Biles took to Threads on Wednesday. “Don’t be mad at me, be mad at your parents,” she added.

When one user asked about the detailing of the bag, the seven-time Olympic gold medalist responded, “Black w/ silver hardware! I’ll post a picture soon.”

Last week Biles shared photos of a shopping trip she took at the designer store. She showcased a wall of Hermés Birkin bags along with an orange gift box on a table.

Biles, 27, left the 2024 Paris Olympics with three gold medals and a silver medal in four different gymnastic events.

One of the questions the gymnastics GOAT was constantly asked was where she sees her career headed and if she will be competing in 2028 Los Angeles.

Biles was quick to respond, “You guys really gotta stop asking athletes what’s next after they win a medal at the Olympics.”

In the meantime, fans can look forward to seeing more ways Biles will celebrate her record-breaking and historic achievements in Paris.

The decorated Olympian has been keeping fans updated on the progress of her Texas home over the past year.

Biles shared two videos from the club, showing people holding signs up reading “gym legend,” which she posted with the caption, “The reason I’m unwell this morning.”

After posting a photo from her plane landing back in the U.S., the Olympian then shared a further clip of herself dancing and singing along to Waka Flocka Flame’s “Grove St. Party” in the club, tagging her sister Adria.

“If you see me out at the club, pls tell me to go home for my own sake & health in the am,” Biles wrote, adding a crying laughing emoji.

Biles then posted a photo of a pool in front of an orange sky, writing, “Home” and adding a teary-eyed emoji.

“Never been so happy,” she wrote while sharing a selfie from her bed.

Biles’ posts come after she had the honor of carrying the Olympic flag during Sunday’s closing ceremony.

The athlete, who wore a precautionary boot on her foot, walked onto the stage at the Stade de France and joined Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass, as musician H.E.R. performed the American national anthem. The song led into the evening’s highly-anticipated moment when Tom Cruise soared into the crowd.
