Who was Simone Biles’ secret crush in 2014?

Her secret crush is non-other than a professional gymnast, Chris Brooks. He is a four-time gold medalist in the Pacific Rim Championships of 2012. Chris also trained alongside the Olympic’s Jonathan Horton during his college days. He had enough achievements to make another gymnast like Simone make his fan. 

Simone’s tweet reads, “Ok, well apparently its no surprise that I have the biggest crush on @cbrooks_wpr! and if not.. whoops, I just told ya.”

As she confessed, her fans reminded her of Alec Yoder, her internet fan back then. The fans’ comments humorously pointed ‘it’s not cheating if Alec is sleeping now.’ Seeing these comments, even Biles couldn’t hold her laugh. Although, interestingly, Yoder also came from a gymnast background, he was on the team of Indianapolis gymnasts.
