“Hopefully She Plays Nice”: Simone Biles’ Youngest Family Member Baby Biles Has Mother Worried About Recent Decision

The Biles family? Yeah, gymnastics practically runs through their veins. Simone Biles, the GOAT herself, set the stage, and now her sister Adria and niece Ronni are following in her formidable footsteps. Little “Baby Biles” is totally smitten with her legendary aunt, and it’s clear from the endless social media posts her mom shares. In fact, Ronni had her first flight before she was even nine months old—headed straight to the 2023 US Championships to watch her great aunt perform live.

And if you think that was cute, hold onto your heartstrings. Her mom posted a video where Ronni proudly wore a replica of Simone’s iconic leotard, captioning it: “POV: that feeling when you will be in Paris this week & going to the FREAKING Olympics to cheer on TT🥳🤪🥹😍,” The little one has been cheering Simone on from the sidelines in matching leotards, and it’s no surprise that gymnastics has been her path of destiny. But now, it looks like Ronni Biles isn’t sticking to just gymnastics!

This spring, she’s ready to swap her leotard for a soccer jersey, as the two-year-old is set to join a Soccer Shots program for kids aged 2 to 8. Her mom recently shared the news on Instagram, saying, “Ronni is signed up for soccer in the spring. This could be a huge hit or an epic eee. Hopefully she plays nice with others.” With her natural athleticism and Simone as her inspiration, it’ll be exciting to see if she brings the same spark to the soccer field! But the decision still seems surprising, as she had already started taking her first steps toward becoming a gymnast.

After witnessing her TT confirm her ticket to the Paris Olympics, Baby Biles’ love for the sport increased to a huge extent. This made her decide that she would like to follow in her footsteps. Thus, she put on her GK leotard again and started training at her grandparents’ gym, the World Championship Centre in Texas. Sammi Biles, her mother, posted pictures of her taking part in the sport that her aunt has already conquered.

The caption of the Instagram post by Sammi read, “The way she is so intrigued by this sport at such a young age is so special for many reasons.” She continued, “WCC’s littlest elite/honorary member is kidding but ahhh so adorable.” Simone Biles’ niece had fallen so in love with the sport, she was skipping things normal children do, like cartoons, to watch gymnastics instead!

In another Instagram post, her mother showed Baby Biles mimicking her aunt while watching her perform on television. “Anyone else’s 1.5-year-old skipping cartoons for @USAGym?! Or just ours 😆 not complaining one bit,” read the caption. Thus, after all this, the decision to suddenly join a soccer program might seem a bit sudden. But maybe the athleticism built by her in WCC might help her immensely in kicking the ball and dribbling through her opponents! Time will tell. For now, Ronnie is happy being a fan and adoring her legendary aunt.

Baby Biles even spent time with her beloved aunt Simone Biles during the GOAT tour!

Simone Biles arrived in Houston for the GOAT tour show on October 19th. Everyone was excited to see the prodigal daughter return home after his victory at the Olympics. However, none could match the enthusiasm of Baby Biles finally seeing her aunt again. Sammi Biles recorded the video of the child walking towards the Toyota Center to watch the show and catching a glimpse of Simone Biles on the big screen.

When asked who she was, Baby Biles couldn’t contain her excitement, shouting, “TT!” Her mom jumped in to fuel the energy, chanting along, “TT go! TT go!”—and Sammi couldn’t help but clap along with the enthusiasm. But while everyone else had their eyes glued to the stage, Ronni’s attention was elsewhere.

In a video shared by her mom, little Ronni sat on her dad’s lap, her curious eyes scanning the crowd, trying to catch a glimpse of Simone Biles. It was a full-on “aunt admiration” moment. The concert, designed mostly for kids, turned into the perfect backdrop for Baby Biles to soak in the magic of watching her aunt perform. And you’ve got to imagine, that’s the kind of experience that fuels a love for sports. Whether it’s gymnastics or soccer, well, that’s a whole other story for the future!
