After making history at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Simone Biles is celebrating a major milestone with her dad!
The gold medalist, 27, marked her father Ronald Biles’ 75th birthday with a series of sweet pictures on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Aug. 8.
Simone first commemorated the special day with a cool snap of Ronald smiling while rocking bedazzled sunglasses.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD,” Simone wrote on top of the photo, adding a handful of white heart Emojis.
The gymnast later shared a close-up of seven champagne glasses feting her father, and a selfie of herself wearing the same bedazzled eyewear (and her famous GOAT necklace).
Simone Biles’ mom couldn’t help but smile during her dominant performance on Friday, June 28, during Day 2 of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials.
The seven-time Olympic medalist, 27, ended the first half of the women’s qualifying in first place, overcoming some wobbles in the beam event with rousing showings on the floor, on the bars and on vault.
Biles was cheered on from the stands by her mother, Nellie, and her husband, Chicago Bears player Jonathan Owens, at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
Nellie was seen beaming after Biles finished her first-place floor routine.
Owens posted a series of celebratory updates to his Instagram, including touting Biles’ “good lead” going into the rest of the trials, and he leapt to his feet to applaud her successful vault.
Nellie and Biles’ dad, Ronald, have attended all of her competitions, except the 2020 Tokyo Games when Olympic officials restricted spectators due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
