There are rare friendships that stand the test of time. One such friendship is that of Simone Biles and Rachel Moore. Since starting her career, Rachel has been a steadfast cheerleader and pillar of support for Biles. The two became friends at a tender age, growing up side by side and training as gymnasts at Bannon’s Gymnastix. Since then, they have been inseparable.

Just last year, after Simone announced her engagement to her now-husband Jonathan Owens, Rachel had exciting news of her own to share. Moore was also set to walk down the aisle, announcing her engagement. Simone took to Instagram to celebrate, writing, “Welcome to the fianc? club.” Fast forward a year, and Rachel has shared an update that made Biles emotional.

Simone Biles missed out on an important occasion

In her latest Instagram story, Simone Biles shared a heartfelt message from Rachel Moore and her husband: Yes, husband! Biles wrote, “My beautiful best friend got married while I was away in Belgium. I’M CRYING, Y’ALL! Such a beautiful couple! I wish you many years of love and happiness! Rachel Roettger, LOVE YOU 2 SM.”

Rachel Moore is now officially Rachel Roettger, having tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend, Drake Roettger, on 10/6/23. Regrettably, Simone couldn’t be there in person because she was in Belgium, making history at the World Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp.
