Simone Biles and her “Brazilian boyfriend” Arthur Nory are the cutest things we’ve ever seen
So you’re crazy about 19-year-old Olympic gymnastics superstar Simone Biles. Us, too, friend. Us, too.
Now that her Olympic run has come to a close—and she’s made history as the first gymnast in a generation to win four gold medals and the first American woman to win gold in individual vault—we’ve moved on to obsessing over her adorable relationship with fellow Olympian Arthur Nory Mariano.
Mariano, who goes by the shortened Arthur Nory on social media, was first referred to by Biles as her “Brazilian boyfriend” when she arrived in Rio for the games late last month.
