Famous Celebrities You Had No Idea Were Adopted

Steve Jobs

Once upon a time, two parents gave up one of the smartest businessmen to an adopting couple. Steven Paul Jobs was born in 1955 to Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali. He was adopted as a baby by Clara and Paul Jobs. When Jobs was 27, he decided to search for his birth parents. He discovered that the Jandali family eventually was married and had a child together. He reportedly would get angry with people who referred to Paul and Clara as his "adoptive parents."

Simone Biles

Simone Biles and her sister, Adria, had a tough time growing up. "My biological mom was suffering from drug and alcohol abuse and she was in and out of jail," Biles revealed on a TV show. At the age of three, Biles' maternal grandparents stepped up to the plate to care for the children. Ron and Nellie Biles raised the kids in Texas and legally adopted their grandchildren as their own in 2003.
