Personal Info:
Gabrielle Douglas was born on December 31, 1995 to Timothy Douglas and Natalie Hawkins. Her hometown is Virginia Beach, VA, and she started gymnastics in 2002. Douglas has two older sisters – Arielle and Joyelle – and an older brother Johnathan.
Douglas names floor and beam as her favorite events, and goes by the nicknames Gabby and Brie. She is home-schooled, and her favorite subject is English. Douglas enjoys reading and knitting in her free time.
Odd that the story didn’t mention she is home schooled by Travis and Missy Parton of West Des Moines, Iowa, who have four daughters of their own.
