“Took the girls to see @goldoveramericatour and meet some of the greatest athletes to grace the earth!” his Instagram caption began. “Thanks so much @simonebiles for taking time to meet my kids while they’re on their own journey through gymnastics.”
“And thanks to all the athletes who put on an amazing show at @unitedcenter Make sure you guys go see the show when it comes to your city!! 🤸🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️🥇🥇🏆🏆,” the rapper, whose real name is Chancelor Johnathan Bennett, concluded.
The primary image featured his mother, Lisa Bennett (née Thompson), his estranged wife Kirsten Corley and the couple’s two daughters Kensli, 9, and Marli, 5, along with Biles and her husband Jonathan Owens.
In the comments, some users couldn’t help but note that the 4′ 8″ most-decorated United States gymnast in Olympic history, 27, seemed to blend in with the three-time Grammy winner’s girls.
“Omg I was looking for Simone so hard,” one person commented on the sweet photo. Another added, “Thought Simone was one of your kids.”
Since her history-making wins at the Paris Games this summer, Biles has inspired a younger generation of fans and brought more eyes to the beloved sport.
Many famous families were in the stands at Bercy Arena in Paris to cheer on Biles and all of Team USA’s gymnasts — Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera — including Snoop Dogg, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Lady Gaga, Tom Cruise and more.
