When Biles appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres” show months prior to the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, she couldn’t contain her giggles when she was asked about her crush on Efron. “I mean, the gold medal wasn’t just for me”.

“I was very surprised”, Biles said on ABC News’ Good Morning America of her kiss from Efron.
Another video shows the actor lifting her up in his arms as her USA team mates rally around to take pictures.
The Olympian will soon return to the United States to celebrate her record-breaking victories. Anchor Hoda Kotb invited the actor to the games to watch Biles’ performance, and he was (like the rest of the planet) seriously impressed by her gold medal-worthy performance. At 19, Biles has already been called the best female gymnast who ever lived by former champions, including 1984 gold medalist Mary Lou Retton. The Gymnast also became the fifth women in history to achieve the four gold medals. The star of Neighbors and the High School Musical franchises surprised the gymnastic team after the competition.
Following a SnapChat post in which Efron was seen giving the US gymnast a kiss on the cheek, Biles’ boyfriend, Brazilian gymnast Arthur Nory Mariano spoke out on Instagram.
He said we could eat pizza with him, too.
She got a kiss on the cheek and started posting and retweeting lots of pictures and videos to prove she did meet him. “I just started hearing from various people”, he said of how he found out about Biles’ huge crush.
He’s Simone’s alleged “international boyfriend” and fellow gymnast, Arthur Nory Mariano.
Biles documented the whole thing on her Snapchat, and posted some of the highlights from their meeting on Twitter and Insta.
