Simone Biles' father celebrated his 75th birthday at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Thursday, August 8, and he received a special gift from Snoop Dogg.
As shown in a post shared by Simone's sister Adria Biles, the Olympic gold medalist's father, Ronald Biles, was presented with a gift from Olympics correspondent Snoop Dogg. "Snoop gave him a chain now he don't know how to act," Adria wrote alongside a photo showing his new Death Row Records chain. "75 looks great on you! happy birthday I love you."
Simone also shared a photo of her father celebrating his birthday at the 2024 Paris Olympics, in which he was presented with a birthday cake wishing him a happy birthday.
In a recent interview with Hoda Kotb for TODAY, Simone Biles said that she wouldn't have become the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history were it not for her father's support. "If not for my parents and adoption, I wouldn’t be here today," she said of Ronald, who adopted Simone and her sister Adria and is her biological grandfather.
It was a hugely successful showing at the Olympics for Simone, who picked up four medals, three of which were gold. Despite the achievements, she suggested that she's starting feel exhausted by all the hard work she's put in.
