Simone Biles, the iconic American gymnastics star, has journeyed from a challenging childhood marked by hunger and instability to becoming a symbol of resilience and success. In her Facebook Watch series, "Simone vs. Herself," Simone and her family courageously opened up about the difficult early years that propelled her to Olympic stardom.

Raised in foster care due to her mother's struggles with substance abuse, Biles recalls the uncertainty of those times. She reflected, "I don't remember much about foster care, but I knew we had been taken from our biological mom. We were fortunate to remain together as siblings because often you're shuffled between homes or separated."

These early years left an indelible mark, particularly the constant hunger she and her siblings endured. Biles vividly recounted their preoccupation with food, humorously mentioning a stray cat her mother fed while they went without meals. This experience even contributed to her lifelong aversion to cats.

Eventually, Biles and her younger sister, Adria, found stability and love when they were adopted by their maternal grandparents, Nellie and Ronald Biles, in Texas. Their older siblings, Ashley and Tevin, took a different path. They were adopted by their father's sister, leading to a divided family.

Nellie, Biles' grandmother, candidly discussed the hurdles she faced while assuming the role of mother to her grandchildren. Admitting her initial reservations as they weren't her biological children, she revealed a transformative moment when her love for them transcended any biological connection.

Turning Dreams into Reality: Biles' Mega Mansion Takes Shape

From having a difficult childhood, Biles is now a celebrated gymnast. She and her husband, NFL star Jonathan Owens, are turning their dreams into reality by constructing a spectacular mega mansion in their home state of Texas. This monumental undertaking comes on the heels of Biles' triumphant return to gymnastics following the 2020 Olympics.

In her recent Instagram Stories, Biles generously shared a glimpse of the in-progress mega-mansion. The property, nestled by a serene lake, is reminiscent of the greater Houston area where she spent her early years. Her excitement was palpable as she showed off the wooden framework of the lakeside structure.

With enthusiasm, Biles exclaimed, "We have stairs OMG," as she showcased a bare-bones staircase leading to the second story. She also provided a tour of the upper floor, revealing her plans for the space, which will include a bedroom, a game room with a wet bar, a theater, and a bathroom.

The highlight, undoubtedly, is the breathtaking view of the waterfront from what will soon be a covered balcony on the second floor—a view that she believes will never grow old, especially during sunsets.

Her fans expressed support and cheered her on, leaving comments that included expressions like, "This is going to be fantastic!!!" and "Love it! Enjoy all the moments. Thanks for sharing!"

But even amid the overwhelming positivity, a contrasting voice chimed in, "I hate to see houses under construction in the south. The woods look like some middle school projects with Popsicle sticks....what happened to cinderblocks and steel."

While the precise location of their sprawling property remains undisclosed, it represents a return to the idyllic surroundings of Biles' childhood, where she is now crafting her dream home.
