After making history at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Simone Biles is celebrating the big 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, August 8.
Simone first marked the special day with a cool snap of Ronaldo smiling while wearing bedazzled sunglasses.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD,” Simone captioned the photo, adding a handful of white heart emojis.

The gymnast later shared a close-up of seven champagne glasses in honor of her father and a selfie of herself wearing the same sparkly glasses (and her famous GOAT necklace).
Simone’s sister, Adria Biles, also showed off a little bling given to Ronaldo by rapper and TV star Snoop Dogg. In the photo published on Adria’s Instagram Stories, Ronald shows a gold Death Row Records necklace, and Adria jokingly wrote: “Snoop gave him a chain, now he doesn’t know how to behave”.
She told her dad at the bottom of the photo: “75 looks great on you! happy birthday love you.”

It’s safe to say Ronald had a good time supporting Simone as she became the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history when she and her teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera won gold in the team final.

Simone previously shared a photo of her father watching her compete through binoculars as her mother Nellie smiles at her. Simone’s husband Jonathan Owens was also seen sitting alongside her proud parents.
“My dad and his binoculars are sooooo freaking cute🥹,” wrote Simone.
She won a total of four medals in Paris ahead of her sixth and final competition at the 2024 Games on Monday, August 5.
