For many, openly professing their love is a difficult thing to do, but not for the decorated gymnast, Simone Biles.

“Your energy lights up an entire room. You’re a true gentleman and you always put others first! Your mindset, grit and your passion for greatness. 26 will be a great one! Never stop being you Stacey Ervin Jr. I love you,” she added.
Responding to her message, Ervin also described Biles as an angel who inspires him, and thanked her for believing in him.

The lovers celebrated the two-year anniversary of their relationship in Instagram posts in August.
The gymnastics star has won five gold medals with the recent at this year’s competition in Stuttgart, Germany.
