Justin Bieber’s look-alike proposed Simone Biles

In her book Courage to Soar: A Body in Motion, a Life in Balance, she elaborated on the boy’s feature that looked just like popular singer Justin. She wrote, “There was this one boy, Dillon, who sat behind me in social studies. He had long dark hair in a Justin Bieber kind of cut. I thought he was cute. He was always whispering and joking with me in class, so I suspected he might like me too.”

While describing her feelings when he proposed to her, Simone wrote, “The other kids would ask, “Are you guys gonna date?” and we’d always say no, because in seventh grade, you never admit to that. One day in class, Dillon passed a note to me that said, “Be my girlfriend.” Feeling suddenly flustered, I quickly scrawled “Yes” on the note and passed it back, but after class, I ran out of the room before he could say anything.”

However, further, she revealed her panic when she went home. After thinking for a day, she ended the relationship the next day. With this, the chapter of her first-ever relationship closed in a single day. After this, she poured her concentration into gymnastics and won four gold medals. In between, she dated a former gymnast, a WWE player Stacey Ervin Jr. Further, Simone went through a harsh breakup with him. Somehow, when Biles’ world turned upside down due to her withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics, she met Jonathan.
