Simone Biles, the gymnastic prodigy, has proved her worth once again at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. Giving record-breaking performances back-to-back, she walked home with 4 golds in her name. The same Antwerp ground where her career kickstarted a decade ago witnessed another historical moment of the GOAT. She anchored the team to gold (167.729) and also earned the all-round World Title (58.399). Moreover, with a not-so-perfect second-last leg, she made a comeback on the final day for two golds in the balance beam and the floor.

With the professional side of hers flourishing, her personal life needs a special mention. Stacey Ervin Jr., Simone’s millionaire ex-boyfriend, who parted ways without disclosing much to the media, made an appearance again. The two dated for almost three years until they called it off in 2020, the same year Biles met her now-husband Jonathan Owens. Recently, the gymnast and the professional wrestler turned up as the best-man in a wedding. But the wedding has some past connections as well.

Simone Biles’ ex at her BFF’s wedding

Biles’ childhood best friend and maid-of-honor Rachel Moore announced her wedding sometime ago. It’s not unlikely that the 26-year-old Olympian would be super stoked by the news. Along similar lines, Stacey also seemed super excited to attend Simone’s best friend’s nuptials. Not only that, the surprising factor is, he was the best-man. He took to his Instagram post to share a heartwarming message for the power duo, Rachel and Drake.

He wrote, “Honored to be The Best Man for my big brother?s wedding! Thank you Rachel for bringing such joy to my brother?s life, & to the both of you for putting together an amazing ceremony & celebration to bridge our families & celebrate your union.” As per the caption, it looks like Rachel’s husband is Ervin’s cousin. Besides, he also showed his heartfelt gratitude to the couple for bringing the family together under the same roof after a long time. As the newlyweds set sail on the marital boat, Stacey showered them with his choicest blessings, as he penned, “Drake & Rachel, Mr. & Mrs. Roettger. May God bless your marriage, & your family. Love y?all forever.”

Clinking their pink drink glasses, indulging in a guilty pleasure with lemon-themed sugar cookies, they had the time of their life.
