She wrote, “(H)appy birthday to the man of my dreams,(S)o many things I love about you. Your energy lights up an entire room. You’re a true gentleman, and you always put others first! Your mindset, grit, and your passion for greatness. 26 will be a great one! Never stop being you, Stacey Ervin Jr. I love you. 224.”

Biles and Ervin started dating after Biles’ mother hired him to work as a coach at her gym, where Simone used to practice. As a result, they both have an innate knowledge of how their physical lives may take priority over a relationship because they are both athletes.
