The post-Olympics heartbreak has hit Simone Biles in the most savage way possible -- she's breaking up with her gymnastics coach of 11 years.

Yep, it's time to call it a day for the 19-year-old Olympic gold medalist and her longtime coach, Aimee Boorman.

She's been her coach since she was 8 years old and is no doubt the driving force behind her Olympic success.

With a heavy heart, Boorman told PEOPLE,

We were both sad, but [Simone] understands that life moves on and she knows that if she plans to continue in gymnastics… I will always be willing to coach her. I will be there as a mentor. We're texting each other every couple of days. We are both happy for each other. We are both close and we always will be.

How much does that sound like a proper breakup!?

But fear not: Their parting isn't down to differences between the pair. Boorman's family is relocating to Florida, and that simply makes it impossible for her to coach Simone as regularly.

*Wipes away tear*

We're here for you, Simone Biles.
