Yes, me and Jonathan always talk about kids,” These were the words of Simone Biles in 2024, referring to her husband, Bears safety Jonathan Owens. “He would have had them like yesterday if he could have. Obviously, we both have goals that we want to achieve before we start a family.” But while Simone carefully plans her path to parenthood, her sister Adria Biles has now entered the conversation with her candid take on future family plans!

Adria has been wrestling with her own version of parental emotions, though not quite in the way you’d expect! “I’m so scared to have kids bc it’s possible to love something more than this????????” Adria confessed in a heartfelt Instagram story today, cradling her adorable light-colored puppy. The puppy, mouth open in what could only be described as pure canine joy, had clearly captured her heart completely!

Adria’s candid admission continued with charming honesty: “I have such bad cute aggression I wanna str**gle her.” Any pet parent knows that overwhelming feeling when your furry friend is just TOO cute to handle! “Ugh I love herrrrrrrr,” she concluded.

Adria Biles is having wholesome moments lately! Just days before her adorable puppy confession, she joined sister Simone Biles for her best friend Kayla Simone’s baby shower on April 13th. The sisters turned what could have been just another celebration into a full-fledged adventure, with Simone documenting their “road trippin’ to Austin” journey through an actual ghost town!

The Biles charm was in full effect as they arrived with husbands in tow, the group radiating excitement around the mama-to-be. “Forever grateful for the girls that keep me sane!! Congrats momma we can’t wait to meet your tiny,” Adria captioned that moment. The world might marvel at their moments in Austin, but few would realize the profound journey Simone and Adria Biles traveled.

The sister had navigated the uncertain waters of foster care, placed there at ages three and younger when their biological mother’s struggles with addiction made parenting impossible. “I never had mom to run to,” Simone once revealed. “I do remember always being hungry and afraid.”

What’s your perspective on:

Is Adria Biles' fear of loving kids more than pets relatable or just plain hilarious?

Have an interesting take?

But fate intervened when their maternal grandparents, Ron and Nellie Biles, adopted them. This life-changing act gave the girls stability, love, and eventually, the platform for Simone’s athletic genius. Perhaps Adria’s attachment to her puppy reflects deeper emotions – appreciating the unconditional love and security that once seemed so fragile in their early lives.

It is not Adria; Simone Biles also has a deep connection with her pets

Let’s be real—Simone Biles isn’t just a seven-time Olympic gold medalist or gymnastics icon. She’s also a proud dog mom, and honestly, that side of her might just be the most relatable of all. Her journey with dogs began when she brought home Lilo and Rambo—two French Bulldogs who are basically her emotional anchors. “Being an elite athlete puts a lot of stress and pressure on you,” she told USA TODAY in 2021. “I got Lilo and Rambo for emotional support and to be a companion through all of my ups and downs.” And it shows.

Remember when cardboard cutouts of Lilo and Rambo cheered her on from the stands during the Tokyo Olympics? That was Scott Evans of Access Hollywood making sure Biles felt the love. “Her reaction was everything,” he said, and it truly was.

These aren’t just pets. They’re family. Lilo and Rambo even have their own Instagram—@thebilesfrenchies—where they call themselves “Texas living trouble makers.” And they’re not alone. Jonathan Owens, Biles’ husband, has a bulldog too—Zeus. Yep, named after the king of the gods, and true to his name, @zeusthebulldog36 is a high-energy foodie who loves naps and chewing stuff.

Now, the family’s growing. On March 30, 2025, @regalempiredobermans shared that Simone and Jonathan will soon welcome a Doberman into the pack. Owens reposted the announcement himself, confirming the exciting news. Honestly? It’s heartwarming to see how much love and grounding these dogs bring into Simone’s high-pressure world. “They’re the greatest asset I’ve ever got,” she said last year. And with a Doberman joining the chaos soon, the Biles-Owens dog squad is about to get even more pawsome.
