Simone Biles and her sister Adria Biles were twinning on a night out.

The Olympic gymnast, 26, snapped a selfie of the pair — who had similar hairstyles and outfits — on her Instagram Story while on the way to a Matt Rife comedy show on Friday night.

In the photo, both girls smiled widely as they leaned in together and posed in the backseat of a car. They both appeared to wear a black top with jeans, except Adria, 24, wore an off the shoulder look while Simone’s neckline was square.

The pair even matched when it came down to hair and makeup, with the sisters sporting similar braids, which fell over their left shoulders, and the same nude gloss on their lips. They even accessorized similarly, each wearing a dainty silver necklace around their necks, though Adria’s had an “A” charm.

“Sister date night 💕👯‍♀️ @mattrife comedy show,” Simone wrote over the photo.

The sisters, who frequently get mistaken as twins, also share a passion for tumbling and flying through the air. Adria followed in her Olympian sister’s footsteps and was an elite gymnast for 10 years, competing throughout high school. She is also one of her sister’s biggest supporters.

In the aftermath of the Tokyo Olympics, Adria was quick to defend Simone’s decision to withdraw from multiple events after suffering from the “twisties” and to focus on her mental health. She also said in an ESPN essay that she has always looked up to Simone, who looked out for her when they were in the foster care system and after they were adopted by their maternal grandparents.

“She’s also kind and humble, and I’m so proud to have her as my sister,” Adria said. “I look up to her in every way.”

Simone may have needed the night out after carrying through several renovations on her new home that she’s building in Texas with husband Jonathan Owens. The gymnast shared an update earlier this week on how the construction was going, revealing that they finally began to install drywall into the home.

She also shared shots of the progress of some of the larger rooms — including what appeared to be the living room — in an Instagram carousel. Biles could be seen smiling widely in a selfie as she held the keys to the home in one hand while showing the base pillars for the walls and roofing.

“eeeeeeeppppp 🛠️🏠😌,” Biles captioned the Instagram post.

The Olympian and the Green Bay Packers player, 28, first teased they were building a house together in September when she posted a carousel of photos captioned, “Loading… 🏠🤍🛠.”

It’s the first big step for the couple, who got legally married at the 1910 Harris County Courthouse in Houston in April and tied the knot again in an elaborate ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are having a blessed 2023. Aside from getting married last April, Owens continues his NFL career after signing a contract with the Green Bay Packers. Biles showed support for her husband by attending some of his games.

While the Packers struggle to make a dent in the NFC playoffs, the graces keep pouring in for the couple. This time, the legendary gymnast showed a glimpse of their new home, already under construction in her home state, Texas.

The first picture is her selfie inside the residence under construction while holding what looks to be the keys to the house. Image number two shows her wearing safety boots while leaving her Prada sandals outside.

The third image is a broader perspective of the house’s interior. Finally, the fourth photo reveals the home’s access to a pond. The completion date of Jonathan Owens and Simone Biles’ future place is uncertain.

Owens and Biles started dating in 2020. He proposed to her in February 2022 and they got married a year later. They were legally married at Houston’s Harris County Courthouse in April 2023 before tying the knot in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, one month later.

It was the year 2021 when Simone Biles withdrew her name from the Tokyo Olympics All-Around to focus on her cognitive well-being. However, as she took a back seat to focus on her mindfulness, Sunisa Lee made sure to clinch the number 1 spot in the all-around roster for Team USA. And, that’s how following Biles’ bequest, Lee etched her name in the 2021 Olympics roster by taking home the all-around gold.

Nevertheless, Lee has always considered Biles as an epitome of inspiration and the GOAT of gymnastics and has never shied away from expressing her encomium for the Houston native. Along similar lines, as Biles earned a ticket to Paris for herself after coming back stronger than ever, Lee once again took a moment to acknowledge Simone Biles’ prowess and expressed her heartfelt paean.

Suni Lee has been one of the most famous names in gymnastics and she expressed her admiration for the legend Simone Biles. In an interview with PBS, Lee spoke about Biles being her favorite ever since Suni was a kid. She stated Biles to be one of her biggest inspirations and this is what led to the motivation of her winning the 2021 Olympic all-around gold medal.

Sharing the glimpse from the interview, the official Instagram handle of PBS penned, “@sunisalee shares her respect and admiration for gymnastics legend @simonebiles. Suni shares the behind-the-scenes story of how she ultimately earned the spot to win the 2021 Olympic all-around gold medal.

Lee expressed, “She’s absolutely amazing and somebody that has inspired me throughout my whole career”. Adding to this, she said, “She is the GOAT. Legend.” Expressing her elation, Lee further conceded “@simone_biles you’re the BEST. We love you so much.”

Interestingly, when Biles stepped down from the mat back in 2021, she acknowledged the support that she received and took to her social media handle to appreciate her fandom and her team.

After she stepped down from her beloved arena in Tokyo in the wake of mental health challenges, Biles took to her X handle to express her gratitude towards her fandom and team. She penned, “the outpouring love & support I’ve received has made me realize I’m more than my accomplishments and gymnastics which I never truly believed before.”

However, as she withdrew from the competition, her compatriot Sunisa Lee made sure to clinch the all-around glory for Team USA. Hence, Lee clinched the All-Around gold with the score of 57.433. Ever since then, Sunisa Lee has been a force to be reckoned with, and on every occasion she gets, she never shies away from expressing her paean for Simone Biles.

Simone Biles is all about family now. After claiming her 6th all-around World Title, she’s in a mood to relax for the rest of 2023. Oftentimes, she appears with the entire Biles tribe, but now she’s on a mission to share frames with her sister as much as she can. Recently, the sister duo stepped out to celebrate a common friend’s birthday. But now, they stepped out for a different event.

Since childhood, Biles had been mothering her sister Adria Biles. Quite early in their life, their biological mother left them in foster care. But their grandmother Nellie Biles didn’t let the kids miss out on a loving family. After adopting her grandkids, she even signed them up for gymnastic. Fast forward to now, the Biles sisters, whom the world mistakes as twins, are successful in their individual careers. But this time, they celebrated another American’s success.

Donning small box braid hairstyles, the Biles sisters step out to attend Matt Rife’s comedy night. Captioning the story as “sister date night. @mattrife comedy show,” the 26-year-old paired it with two cheerleading girls’ emoji and pink hearts. As the attention to their dresses, both looked stunning with black full-sleeved rib knit attires.

There’s no question to deny that they were looking like twins and everybody would vouch for it. The picture looks like a car selfie boasting both with broad smiles. Moreover, their take on nude lips and eyes sat perfectly with the black attires. All thanks to their fortunes that they didn’t get separated during their foster care stay. Otherwise, the older Biles would have had a harder childhood, as Adria was too young to understand then.

The Olympian felt a sense of responsibility towards her sister when the truth of not having an immediate family hit her. Their biological grandmother, or adoptive mother, had said about Biles, “She really was nurturing and mothering to Adria. They had a very close bond, and to this day, that bond is still there.”

Always supporting her sister in all her endeavors, Biles recently showed fondness for softball. Since Adria Biles’ girlfriend is a softball player, she took them out to celebrate the recent Pan-Am win.

Biles celebrates Adria’s girlfriend’s win

At the recent 2023 Pan-American Games, the US women’s softball team had taken their nation to glory for the 10th time. In celebratory notes, the 7X Olympic medalist posted a photo with Janae Jefferson, Adria’s partner. Captioned the post as “so many things to celebrate this weekend. Congrats to my sisters gf on pan am GOLD. LFG!!!!!”  

Just a year after getting selected at the 2022 World Games to represent the US team, Jefferson clinched victory. Credits also go to her lady luck, Adria. They both have been dating since June 2022 and since then, their PDA pictures never stopped coming. Now, ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Simone Biles has set her sights on her 35th medal win. Hopefully, she gets to live up to her own expectations and make her close ones proud again.

Adria Biles is gymnast Simone Biles’ younger sister. She is two years younger than Simone. Both siblings spent three years in foster care before they were adopted in 2003 by their grandfather, Ronald Biles, and his second wife, Nellie, whom Simone now considers their parents.

Following in her older sister’s footsteps, Adria began practicing gymnastics as a nine-year-old. In 2015, she competed at the junior elite level. After practicing the sport for 10 years, Adria left gymnastics in 2016 after finishing high school to pursue a career in hygiene and dental assisting. She earned a spot on the Shooting Stars, a professional dance team for the Houston Astros baseball team.

Adria participated in the inaugural season of the TV show Claim to Fame. Both sisters share a strong bond, which is evident as Adria was Biles’ bridesmaid during her destination wedding to Jonathan Owens. Recently they were seen enjoying a sister date night, attending a comedy show.

Simone Biles took to her social media to share a picture of them, writing:

Adria has been dating professional softball player Janae Jefferson since June 2022. Jefferson, who plays for Texas Smoke, was also present at Biles and Owens’ wedding

Simone Biles might be preparing for the Paris Olympics in the summer of 2024 as the legendary gymnast returns to her field, but the immediate task she has been working on is improving her luxury pad with her husband, Jonathan Owens.

Owens, who is a strong safety for the Green Bay Packers in the NFL, married Biles in April 2023 and now it seems that they’re taking the next step in married life by doing a home renovation.

They’re building the property in the Olympic gold medallists’ home state of Texas as she showed off some snaps of the structure to her seven million fans on Instagram, and seemed happy in the place of her work in progress.

The first picture is her selfie inside the bare home, holding, presumably, the keys to the house. Whilst the second photo shows her wearing safety boots and leaving her expensive fashion sandals outside.

The third snap is expands on showing the house’s interior, which is very spacious and large for the 4ft 8in athlete. The last photo the home’s connection to nature including a body of water which appears to be a pond.

Biles’ husband is a good fit

From one athlete to another, Owens will understand the intense pressure they face to get to the top of their fields and the amount of effort and stress it takes.

So who better to support her than someone like that as she continues her quest for immortality in the world’s history, looking to claim her spot with Team USA for Paris 2024 and to add to her haul of 39 senior medals after a dominating World Championship appearance.

The arrival of a child is a gift that many people yearn for. In the family of the legendary gymnast Simone Biles, one such gift and blessing arrived in the form of Baby Biles. Ronni Biles, affectionately known as Baby Biles, is the niece of the gymnastics queen and the daughter of Ron Biles II, Simone’s brother, and his wife, Sammi Biles. Ronni was born on November 25, 2022, and since then, she has quickly become the darling of the entire Biles clan.

American star gymnast, Simone Biles Owens, has won her first competition, two years after a difficult run at the Tokyo Olympics.

The athlete faced several difficulties at the 2021 competition including “twisties”, a condition which makes gymnasts lose orientation mid-air.

She also revealed she had been dealing with mental health issues during the period after losing a family member.

Biles withdrew from several events at the games citing concerns for her mental health and physical safety. She however won third place at the beam finals in the competition.

The Olympian made her return on Saturday night at the U.S Classics and thrilled the crowd with her winning performance.

She participated on the uneven bars in which she scored 14.0, her lowest in the game. She also landed 14.8 and 14.9 points for her beam and floor exercises routines respectively. Her vault routine earned her 15.4 points and 59.1 points in total for the competition.

If you know Biles, you know she’s usually busy with her rigorous training and winning medals in gymnastics. But on the other days, she asks her man to name the best in her activity to challenge. And this time, it was none other than Owens’s fellow football teammate.

Simone Biles challenges NFL star

The Packers POV podcast recently covered safety Jonathan Owens‘ perspective in the episode, “Audio: Packers POV #18 Packers POV: Jonathan Owens.” The audio description read, “In this episode of the Packers POV podcast, safety Jonathan Owens talks about his relationship with wife Simone Biles…” During the lively discussion, the host asked about an IG(Instagram) video of Simone put up by Owens racing with his teammate asking, “How did that race even come to be?”

Owens then narrated the humorous story between Simone and Christian Watson, a wide receiver. He said that Simone asked about the team’s quickest player on a boat excursion, which led to the spontaneo

us challenge. After Christian agreed, a cordial race started where “she(Simone) really got out on the first ten yards.” Unfortunately, Watson slid a little, while she “took off.” The sight was “just funny to see,” Owens added. Naturally, Christian took it up after that.

“She did have him for almost 20 yards,” the podcast presenter said. “Halfway mark,” continued. Yes, he began to pick it up with his long legs. Owens confirmed, “Yeah, quick,” to the host’s remark on Simone’s competitive nature. Owens recalled their pre-race dialogue exchange saying, “(Simone:) You say he’s the fastest? Okay, let’s go right now. I’m like, Oh, shoot. Are you sure? She’s like, Yeah, let’s go. Let’s line it up. I’m like, Okay.” The couple’s humorous dynamics and Simone’s enthusiastic approach to friendly rivalry were evident just like an old friendly rivalry.

When Simone Biles challenged her fiancé

When the seven-time Olympic medalist Biles was engaged, she stole the show on the Snapchat exclusive series Daring with Simone.” In the first episode, she put up a fun fight with Jonathan Owens over how hard gymnastics is than football. In the ‘Fiancé Combine,’ both athletes demonstrated their skills in football drills and gymnastics challenges. Jonathan emerged victorious in the final battle when the competition intensified and he won the crucial ‘game face’ tiebreaker.

“Gymnastics is definitely harder than football, but I came out here to show him that it’s easy,” Simone Biles declared, despite the outcome. And very reluctantly covered her final words with her laugh saying, “I’m still a better athlete.” Meanwhile, a bigger question looms: Google Says Simone Biles Is the Greatest Gymnast of All Time. Is She?
