Simone Biles‘ boyfriend Stacey Ervin took a serious risk on their first date!
“He took me to a sushi place,” Simone told People. “He knows I don’t like sushi and he forced me!”
Fortunately, the high-risk move paid off.
“It was out of my comfort zone, which I liked,” the Olympic gold medalist continued.
She also got real about what it’s like to date her, and what life will be like for the couple when she starts training full-time again in November.
“He’s an elite athlete and he’s traveled and stuff, so he understands it,” Simone said. “We already know in each other’s lives we don’t come first, and that’s okay with the both of us. So we do what we need to do, and then when we come together it’s fine.”
Sounds like a perfect match. The couple has been Instagram-official for over a month now, and it’s amazing that they support each other’s dreams.
Simone Biles has made it Instagram official with her boyfriend Stacey Ervin!
The 20-year-old Olympic gymnast took to the social media site to declare her affection for Stacey, who also happens to be a gymnast!
“always smiling with you,” Simone adorably captioned a photo of the pair gazing into each other’s eyes.
Simone also took Stacey as her date as she was inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame over the weekend.
Stacey took to his Instagram to express how proud he was of Simone.
“Words cannot express how incredibly proud I am of you, all you’ve accomplished & how well you carry yourself. You make me feel like I am the luckiest man alive. Congratulation on your induction to the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame! I can’t wait to see what the future has in store,” Stacey wrote.
Earlier this year, Simone explained that she’s never had a boyfriend and hadn’t been on many dates because she always put gymnastics first.
We’re so glad Simone found someone who makes her smile and we can’t get over how cute this couple is! Check out their adorable photos below…
