“I love you so much,” she wrote.

Commenters were also infatuated with this beautiful display of Black love.

“So supportive, over here crying I love this so much…you found a keeper Simone!” wrote one emotional commenter.

“Love this so much!! She is a WHOLE person, beautiful on the inside and outside. So much more than gymnastics,” wrote another follower.

“This is what support looks like. I bet she can’t wait to be home with her man,” an additional user said.

Biles made headlines this week after announcing her withdrawal from the Olympic Games in Tokyo to focus on her mental health. The decision was a controversial one, but Biles received an outpouring of support from fans, celebrities and other athletes. She thanked her admirers on Wednesday.

“The outpouring love & support I’ve received has made me realize I’m more than my accomplishments and gymnastics, which I never truly believed before,” she tweeted on Wednesday.

U.S.A. Gymnastics affirmed

Biles’ decision in a statement, per USA Today.

“We wholeheartedly support Simone’s decision and applaud her bravery in prioritizing her well-being,” the statement read. “Her courage shows, yet again, why she is a role model for so many.”
