Ever since the sporting limelight discovered Simone Biles, her life has been devoted exclusively to gymnastics. The 2013-turned-elite kept her life limited to a small circle of people. However, things changed when her relationship with the WWE superstar made headlines during her professional gap year in 2017. Their relationship lasted for three years until they finally broke it off leaving behind a sour taste.

However, over time the athletes had grown familiar and shared close bonds with each other’s friends. Married to NFL safety Jonathan Owens, the seven-time Olympic medalist is living her triumphant dream on the mats this year. As the Owens were busy with their professional duties an unexpected wish came from her former partner for Simone’s childhood bestie’s big day.

Since a young age, the Olympic gold champion has experienced many emotional hardships in her life. Having found solace in her husband shows in her strength as often credited by her in post-victory interviews. In her lows, Biles often leans on her girls’ tribe consisting of her bestie Rachel Moore. Just days ahead of her joining the newlywed gang with Simone, a pre-wedding photo was posted on her Instagram, however, a comment from Stacey Ervin Jr. grabbed eyeballs.

The black-and-white shot captured Rachel and her partner looking sideways which she captioned, “ITS WEDDING WEEK.” A day after she uploaded the picture, Stacey commented the following day with three black hearts, which was liked by Rachel.

The fitness influencer apparently never unfollowed Moore since Biles breakup despite the fall apart leaving a void. That’s not all, Ervin keeps up with the Moore family updates and often shares his warmest wishes on the platform.

Ervin was Biles’ gym trainer hired by her mother Nellie, they began dating and were quite open about their relationship in public. He was also in attendance at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany where Biles famously added two named moves. The couple split up in 2020 when fans observed Biles unfollowing him on social media. While Ervin remains an internet entity in comments, Biles attended Moore’s wedding ceremonies before departing for Worlds.
