According to People, the pair first met long before they got involved in August 2014, during the P&G Gymnastics Championships. Later on, when Biles was a contestant in the TV show ‘Dancing With the Stars’, her mother, Nellie, hired Ervin to be a coach at their gym in Texas.
Their relationship developed from there, and Biles first spoke of it to the press in September 2017. Stacey Ervin Jr. also performed as a gymnast in college, but he pivoted to WWE a few years later. Now, he has retired from all competitions and runs a fitness program.
