Kelvin Clemons: Who Is Simone Biles’ Biological Father?

Details about Kelvin Clemons , the biological father of Simone Biles , are relatively thin — and that’s intentional. What little we know about Shanon Biles , Simone’s biological mother, we know even less about Kelvin. Those who have watched Simone Biles Rising , the 2024 Netflix documentary of her life leading up to the Paris Olympics , will note that it glosses over her biological father entirely. There’s no photo or any commentary about him in the two-part series. That said, there is some information about who Kelvin Clemons is and what kind of relationship, if any, he has with Simone Biles today.

What is known about Kelvin Clemons?

Kelvin Clemons does not have a relationship with Simone Biles and was never in her life. This is according to an article by In Touch Weekly as well as other reports.

Simone Biles, in a 2021 interview with USA Today , clarifies why she and her biological father never connected. Even since she was adopted by her grandfather and second wife, Ron and Nellie Biles, Simone has had a tight bond with her adopted parents as well as her other immediate family members, including younger sister Adria and brothers Adam and Ron Jr. This is why she “never really cared to find out who [her] biological father was, or really gain a close relationship with [her] biological mom.”

Simone continues that she “never felt a need to go back,” which she admits is “very different for a lot of (adopted) kids, because they feel kind of that void.” But she “never did.”

From a 2016 article about Shanon Biles in The Daily Mail , Kelvin met Shanon when they were teenagers. However, he “struggled with his own addictions.” It’s unclear whether these addictions are the same as Shanon’s struggles with drugs and alcohol.

The piece reveals that Clemons lived in Cleveland in 2016, and that while he doesn’t have contact with Simone, he does occasionally have conversations with Shanon that “revolve around how well Simone and the rest of their children are doing.” According to Shanon, Clemons knows that he is Simone’s father and that “he’s very proud of her.”
