Early life, family
Stacey Ervin was born on 21 October 1993, in Taylor, Michigan USA, so his birth sign is Libra, and he holds American nationality. Stacey was born into a family of devote Christians and went to church every Sunday from early childhood. Stacey has two sisters named Katrina and Danielle, and a brother whose name is Drake. Drake played baseball and basketball since he was a small kid, and then continued his trainings in high school; later he joined college football Division 3. Stacey’s youngest sister, Katrina, runs cross country and plays soccer. Stacey started his sports career when he was only eight years old, at his mother’s suggestion. He began training in 2001, and has continued with his sports classes ever since. His mother’s name was Stephanie Hayes; Stacey once shared a photo of her with him, when he was four years old. The caption to the photo said that she passed away after suffering from cutaneous T cell lymphoma in 2011, and Stacey misses her much. Nothing in particular is known about Stacey’s father, except that he is also a very religious person.
Education
Stacey matriculated from Harry S. Truman High School in 2011. Though he spent much time training, he always had good grades and enjoyed studying. He then entered the University of Michigan to study Psychology, graduating in 2015 with a BA.

Stacey has been a competitive gymnast for over 17 years, having been coached by Kurt Golder, Geoff Corrigan and Yuan Xiao. His successful career included multiple championships in which he took various prizes, such as in Men’s Junior Olympic National Championships, Knoxville, Tennessee in 2010 – first in Vault (Table), second in Parallel Bars and third in the All-Around Score. The same year he proved his skills in Vault (Table) and won the first place in the Visa Championships, Hartford, Connecticut. It was a good start for him, and he continued his path to success, in 2012 participating in NCAA floor exercises and becoming the bronze medalist, the same as in the 2013 Winter Cup floor exercise. Stacey managed to become a team champion in the same year when his team participated in NCAA (Michigan). 2015 was a very fruitful year for Stacey; he participated in three championships, and succeeded in all of them: he became a silver medalist at Winter Cup floor exercise; was a bronze medalist in the NCAA floor exercise; also a bronze medalist US floor exercise.
Since July 2017 Stacey has been working as a Director and Head Coach of the Men’s Gymnastics Program at the World Champions Center based in Texas.

Personal life, girlfriend Simone Biles
Simone shared that she met Ervin three years before they actually started dating. They were participating in the P&G Gymnastics Championships (which earlier were called the “Visa Championships”), when they first saw each other in person. They talked a while over Snapchat, and Simone told Stacey “he was cute”, but for years they remained just friends, not even having enough time to communicate since they both were performing at various championships. In 2016 Nellie Biles (Simone’s biological grandmother and her adoptive mother) hired Stacey to take the position of a coach at her gym. At that moment Simone was away participating in the TV show “Dancing with the Stars”, after which they started meeting more often, and Stacey was brave enough to ask Simone for a date. Simone agreed. To her surprise, Stacey took her to the sushi restaurant, which was a stepping out of her comfort zone for Simone, since her food preferences were quite the opposite. However, they both enjoyed the evening and went on dating. They haven’t announced their engagement yet, but according to the photos they both post on their Instagram accounts, they enjoy their time together, though they don’t see each other as often as they would like to. Simone once shared in her interview in People in 2017: ‘He’s an elite athlete and he’s traveled and stuff, so he understands it… We already know in each other’s lives we don’t come first, and that’s okay with the both of us. So we do what we need to do, and then when we come together it’s fine’.

Stacey has naturally very curly black hair which his girlfriend Simone once tried to straighten (unsuccessfully); he has dark brown eyes. Stacey is 5ft 8ins (1.73m) tall and weighs around 180lbs (82kgs). His left arm is fully covered with a big tattoo depicting various patterns, an hourglass, a rose, a skull and a steering will. The tattoo on his chest depicts a pigeon, whose wings are drawn in the form of the hands laid in a prayer. As for his clothing style, he prefers casual and sporty looks, and often wears T-shirts, shorts and jeans.
Net worth
Authoritative sources estimate Stacey’s net worth to be around $1.3 million, accumulated while working hard as a fitness coach, a professional gymnast and a professional wrestler.
