Shanon Biles wants to have a relationship with her daughter, Simone Biles.

During a sit-down interview with the Daily Mail, Shanon, the biological mother of the seven-time Olympic gold medalist, said that she hopes her daughter will forgive her one day for her past.

While the 52-year-old battled drug and alcohol addictions, she gave up Simone and her younger sister, Adria, to their grandfather and grandmother, Ron and Nellie Biles, when the girls were just toddlers

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

This conversation comes after the decorated gymnast earned four medals during the 2024 Paris Olympics—three gold and one silver—increasing her career medal count to 11.

Shanon admitted that she gathered her friends and neighbors to watch the games back home in Columbus, Ohio, where Simone and her sister once lived before moving around in foster homes and then being adopted by her grandparents in Texas.

“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,” Shanon added. “If I need to know anything I call my dad. I ask him about Simone, and he keeps me posted.”
