“Like Beyoncé, but with an F.” That was the cheeky caption under a glowing Instagram post from April 9, 2022 — and no, it wasn’t about Queen B herself. It was Simone Biles and her best friend Kayla Simone, sitting side by side, hands up, flaunting sparkling engagement rings, and grinning from ear to ear. A double dose of love, but not what you’d think — Kayla was engaged to Ira Brandon III back in September 2021, and Simone had just said yes to Jonathan Owens in February 2022. The post?

A joyful celebration of friendship, milestones, and the unshakable bond between two soul sisters. Fast forward to July 7, 2023. The next chapter in Kayla’s life was her wedding day. And guess who was right there in bridesmaid glam, soaking up every beautiful moment? Simone, of course. The Olympic champ stood proudly by Kayla’s side, just like she always had. And now, nearly two years later, there’s another milestone shimmering on the horizon. And Simone Biles is not keeping calm!

On April 13, 2025, Simone Biles once again showed the world what true friendship looks like. She hopped on her Instagram stories today to share sweet snapshots from Kayla Simone’s baby shower — because yes, Kayla is officially mama-to-be, expecting a baby! But this wasn’t just a casual pop-in. Simone made it an adventure. She hit the road and dubbed the trip, in classic Biles fashion, “road trippin’ to Austin.” Her excitement was genuine — she even drove through a place literally called “Ghost Town” on the way. Talk about riding through anything for your bestie!

The date was almost the same as that unforgettable day three years ago. But the chapter? Completely brand new. And once again, Simone Biles was right there — showing up with love, laughter, and that signature sparkle. At Kayla Simone’s baby shower, Simone didn’t just celebrate — she relived a friendship full of milestones. Baby bumps and blue balloons. And in true full-circle fashion, the girls stood side by side again — but now with their husbands by their sides. One sweet photo showed the four of them together, beaming with joy. The caption?

“we’re team boy 💙” — short, sweet, and straight from the heart. Another photo captured the whole crew — Kayla, Simone, their husbands, and Simone’s sister, Adria, all sharing in the love. The caption read: “you’re so loved baby b 🤍 we can’t wait for your arrival!” A reminder that this baby is already surrounded by nothing but warmth and good vibes.

And let’s not forget Jonathan Owens, who made sure the day was anything but boring. Whether he was striking poses, cracking jokes, or just being the life of the party, his energy lit up the room — proving once again that when the Biles-Owens crew rolls in, the celebration really begins.

While the pictures echoed the same joyful energy seen across Simone Biles’ stories, they radiated that unmistakable glow of a couple soaking in the happiness of a growing family — even if it wasn’t theirs just yet. Their smiles?

Pure support, pure love, pure hype! But while Jonathan kept things classic, Adria Biles came in with her own twist. She shared one of the standout group shots — a beautiful moment with Kayla Simone right at the center, surrounded by the people who love her most. But it was her caption that added the heartstring pull: “forever grateful for the girls that keep me sane!! congrats momma we can’t wait to meet your tiny” — and of course, she tagged Kayla, sealing the post with love and sisterhood.

However, it was more than just a baby shower. It was a celebration of friendship, sisterhood, and growing families — captured in candids, wrapped in laughter, and marked with memories that’ll last long after Baby B arrives. And if these photos proved anything, it’s that when this crew shows up — they show up big.
