Ashley Biles Thomas Was Born And Raised In America
Ashley Biles Thomas was born in Columbus, Ohio, in the year 1990 but her exact birth date is not known. As per her age, she should be about 34 years old currently. Ashley was born to a single mom, Shanon Biles, who raised her single-handedly.
To date, the identity of her father has not been revealed and as such, it still remains a mystery. We are not sure if she knows her biological father or if her mother has also withheld the information from her.
The celebrity sibling is an American by nationality and belongs to the Black ethnicity. In addition to this, her origin has also been traced back to Central America, which means she is partly Belizean.
Growing up was not an easy ride for Ashley. She didn’t have the best of childhood experiences as she grew up with her mother and her three siblings – who are reported to be from different fathers.
Apart from being a single mother, Ashley’s mother was a drug and alcohol addict which meant she could not properly raise and take care of her kids because she was in and out of jail. When Ashley was seven years old, she and her siblings were adopted into foster homes.
However, in 2000, Ashley Biles’ maternal grandfather, Ron, and his second wife, Nellie Cayetano, adopted her and her siblings. They were in Texas with their grandparents for three years but again, Ron and his wife could not cater to the four kids.
She would then move to Cleveland in 2003 and was adopted by her great-aunt, Harriet, alongside her brother, Tevin. At the time of the adoption, she was 13 years old.
There is certainly no way of telling how she fared with regard to education as she didn’t have a straightforward childhood experience, coupled with the fact that she moved from one place to the other. If she found a way to complete her basic education, that is best known to her because she is yet to reveal such detail to the public.
Ashley Is 7 Years Older Than Her Sister, Simone BilesÂ
We have established the fact that Ashley Biles is the older sister of multiple Olympic gold medalist, Simone Biles. The gymnast champion once revealed that her sister Ashley is seven years older than she is. Simone was born on March 14, 1997, and so this signifies that Ashley Biles was born in 1990.
Apart from Simone, Ashley has two other siblings. Her only brother, Tevin, was born in 1994, a few years before Simone, and then, Adria was born on January 27, 1999. Very little is there to be said about the relationship between Ashley Biles and her much more popular sister as the two were separated when they were much younger (Ashley was 13 while Simone was 6).
However, Ashley Biles seems to be much closer to her brother, Tevin than Simone. There are no pictures of them together on their social medial handles and as such, one can say the state of their relationship with each other is not clear. However, Ashley has been seen to show support to her younger sister as is evident in a 2021 picture post on Facebook where she called Simone Biles out as the G.O.A.T.
What Does Ashley Biles Do For A Living?
At the moment, it is unclear what the celebrity sibling does for a living as she is only known as the older sister of Simone Biles. There are no records of a career or business she is involved in and so, her net worth is also not known.
Her sister, Simone Biles, on the other hand, is an Olympic champion. She has a plethora of Olympic and world championship medals to her name. Also, she became a recipient of President Joe Biden’s Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2022.
Though the two sisters had an unpleasant time as kids, they handled things differently. Simone Biles seems to be doing well for herself, using all the negatives as motivation to rise to stardom, and today, she is considered a blessing to her country, America. On the other hand, however, Ashely Biles seems to have done (or is doing) the opposite.
Ashley Has A Long List Of Legal Issues
As of the time of writing this article, Ashley Biles is still battling loads of legal troubles. She has had a lineup of legal issues since 2014. First, she was arrested for careless driving and then charged with a felony in drug possession and trafficking.
Afterward, she was arrested again in 2015 and was said to be operating a vehicle under the influence of an unknown substance. On April 18, 2019, Ashley was involved in an assault and was charged to court where she pleaded guilty to committing the crime. The court sentenced her to six months in jail and 24 months probation.
Barely two years later, she got into another trouble. She was nabbed again in July 2021. This time, Ashley Biles was charged with impaired driving, using a suspended driver’s license, and walking out of an accident scene. She was also guilty of disobeying traffic rules and violating her probation.
Simone Biles’ Older Sister Is A Mother of One
Concerning her love life, Ashley Biles is currently single. Not much is known about her personal life as she maintains a low profile. She has not disclosed any information about her romantic relationship to the public. Also, she has not been linked with anyone as a lover or spouse in the past.
However, she is a single mother of a baby girl, Although no one seems to know how and when she got pregnant with her daughter, her mom, Shanon Biles, revealed in 2016 that Ashley has a 7-year-old daughter. Since the information became public, she has neither confirmed nor debunked the statement.
Unfortunately, nothing is known about her daughter. We do not know who the father of her child is nor do we know the name and age of the child who may well be a teenager at this time.
