Biles went through the trauma of foster care at the tender age of 3 suffering from the grief of being apart from her brothers. Even though she was surrounded by relatives, her early life was profoundly impacted by the forced separation, which tormented her. Due to her continued vulnerability to human emotions, she still faces some challenges; as Biles casually pointed out being apart from her teammate Zoe Miller during competitions.

A while back, Biles also made a personal discovery: she believes that the challenging PACER exam she took in school was the reason she first developed anxiety. It seemingly triggers Biles’s fret; underlining the intricate connection between barriers in physical challenges and mental health. Despite a clear cause, her resilience has been a hallmark of her exceptional gymnastics path with strong backing from her man.
