Simone Biles Gets Emotional on DWTS About Being In Foster Care: ‘My Parents Saved Me’

“Growing up, my biological mom was suffering from drug and alcohol abuse and she was in and out of jail,” Biles explained. “I never had mom to run to. I do remember always being hungry and afraid. At 3 years old, I was placed in foster care.”

Her tears cut straight to the heart as she talks about getting visits from her then-grandpa while she was in a foster home.

“Whenever we had visits with my grandpa, I was so excited,” she said, unable to keep her composure. “That was the person I always wanted to see walk in to the foster home.”
