In the Biles clan, talent seems to run in the family. Baby Biles, aka Ronni Biles, is stepping into the world of gymnastics, following in the footsteps of her aunts, Simone Biles and Adria Biles. Despite being just one year old, Ronni has already begun an incredible journey. From her first flight to support her TT at the 2023 US Gymnastics Championships to cheering her on from afar as Simone made history at the 2023 World Championships, Ronni has been there every step of the way.
Born to Ronn Biles II, Simone’s brother, and Sammi Biles, Ronni has displayed a budding interest in the sport, often mirroring her aunt by donning matching leotards and imitating her moves. Her mother, Sammi, even gifted her a “Simone Biles: A Little Golden Book Biography” for her first birthday, further igniting her passion for gymnastics. Now, as Simone Biles proudly introduces the youngest member of the Biles clan to the world, Ronni is ready to take on the gymnastics world alongside her aunt.

In an Instagram post shared by the Gymnastics queen on May 8, 2024, Baby Biles is taking her first steps toward becoming a gymnast. Simone Biles delightedly shared a picture of the tiny munchkin dressed in a black leotard, an exact replica of the one her aunt wore at the 2023 Xfinity Gymnastics Championships. The caption of the story read, “WCC’s newest elite team member, my niece Ronni.” The picture was taken at the World Champions Centre (WCC), the prestigious gymnastics training center located in Spring, Texas.
Notably, WCC is not just any training center; it is the home base of the seven-time Olympic champion Simone Biles and is owned by her parents and Baby Biles’ grandparents, Ronald and Nellie Biles. Adding to the excitement, just days before this momentous occasion, Simone Biles’ sister-in-law, Sammi Biles, took to Instagram, indicating that Baby Biles might follow in her aunt’s illustrious footsteps as a gymnast.
