Simone Biles's Parents Show Off Their Support in Matching Shirts, but Her Caption Is the Sweetest

-

Simone Biles's parents are her number one fans, and clearly the feeling is mutual. After making the US women's gymnastics team for the Tokyo Olympics on June 27, the 24-year-old took a moment to thank her mom and dad, Nellie and Ronald Biles, for all of their support over the years. In an Instagram post shared on Tuesday, her parents could be seen giving their daughter a kiss as they wore matching shirts that featured a quote from Simone: "Because I can." Her dad even proudly sported a Team USA baseball cap. As if the photos weren't cute enough, her caption is making us super emotional. "Appreciation post for my sweet parents," Simone wrote. "Thanks for making sacrifices since day 1 so I can live out my dream. but most importantly thanks for always being there for me through all the highs and lows. You guys are the absolute best. I love y'all."

Nellie and Ronald - who are Simone's grandparents and officially adopted her in 2003 - have always been front and center for her gymnastics journey. In addition to sporting Team USA gear and cheering her on from the stands, they even have an adorable ritual during her competitions: they give each other a kiss whenever Simone hits a routine. How cute! Watch Simone in action - and see her parents cheer her on - when the Olympics kick off on July 23.

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
