“The little girl in me would look for you in every single room she walks into. you have made me into the person i am today and i will forever look up to you. i love you sister 🤍,” Simone Biles’ lookalike sister Adria Biles had written last year. Yes, ever since she was a child, she followed her elder sister in everything, howsoever daring it was. Together they would climb up the railing of the second floor of their house and jump off onto the couch below on the first floor. “She’d go first, and I’d follow. Nothing scared her,” Adria had recalled. Simone has returned favor for this allegiance with unconditional love.

“I wanted to take care of Adria obviously because she was the baby,” Simone recalled during an episode of her Facebook Watch series, Simone vs. Herself. “I just felt like I needed to look out for her because if family doesn’t look out for you, who’s going to?” So, when this little sister became 26 on January 27, Simone did not miss the occasion to show her love. Sharing a picture from their 2023 wedding photoshoot, Simone wrote, “Happy 26th birthday sister. I love you so much.” Little less than a month after that, it was Simone’s turn to don the birthday hat. And this time Adria returned the favor with her small but love-loaded reaction on Simone’s husband Jonathan Owens’ post.

Owens, who has been married to Simone since April 2023, made sure her 28th birthday was nothing short of special. On March 14, the NFL safety took to Instagram with a heartfelt tribute that had fans swooning. “Happy birthday to my wife, my queen, my best friend, my everything 🖤,” Owens wrote. “Being married to you is everything I could’ve ever asked for—a beautiful, funny, intelligent, and confident person that motivates me to be the best version of myself every day. I’m so blessed to have met someone as amazing as you, baby, I cherish every moment that we spend together 🫶🏽 I promise to always make this day feel special, I love you so much 🤞🏽.”

Alongside his loving words, Owens shared a collection of snapshots from their recent travels, giving fans an inside look at their adventures across Africa and Switzerland. The first set of pictures took followers straight to their safari getaway—one photo showed them in a safari vehicle, surrounded by the wild, while another captured Owens taking a picture of a lion in tall grass as Biles snapped a selfie. They even got up close with an elephant, dressed in safari-chic outfits, making memories in the heart of nature.

Then came their Swiss escapade. In one picture, the couple stood on a cobbled street, donning winter coats, with a sign reading “Ankengasse” hinting at Zurich. Another showed them sitting by a river, taking in the city’s iconic skyline. A third had them at an upscale event in Davos, dressed to the nines, with Owens holding an Olympic-themed keepsake. Adria quickly showed up in the comment section and dropped: “Stinkin’ Cuties.” But she wasn’t done just yet. The 26-year-old made sure to take fans down the memory lane, sharing a catalog of throwback pictures on Instagram.

When Simone turned 27 last year, she and Owens slipped away for a romantic escape. Houston became their sanctuary. A lavish hotel suite, white bed sheets crisp as fresh chalk on a gymnast’s hands, and petals forming a heart on the bed—Owens made sure his wife felt adored. Champagne flutes clinked, laughter reverberated, and the weekend unfolded in hues of pink and gold, complete with a butterfly-laden cake and a candlelit dinner at Mastro’s Steakhouse, where even the menu whispered, “Happy Birthday, Simone.” Looks like, this year they picked up from exactly where they left it.

Adria Biles pays tribute as Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens enjoy Texas birthday festivities

Simone Biles has flipped, soared, and dominated the world stage, but on March 14, the only gold she cared about was the shimmer of celebration. Simone Biles rang in her 28th birthday in true Texas fashion, celebrating with her husband, Jonathan. The Chicago Bears safety didn’t just mark the occasion with a sweet tribute; he matched her energy, donning full Texas-chic attire as they stepped out in style.

Dressed in a cowboy hat, black button-down, and boots, Owens embraced the Lone Star spirit, but Biles stole the show. Her sleeveless cow-print crop top, white denim mini skirt, and high-top boots screamed confidence—Texas style at its best! While the couple soaked in the festivities, Biles’ Instagram lit up with love, from fellow Olympians to lifelong friends.

But no message was as heartfelt as the one from her sister, Adria Biles. Taking a trip down memory lane, Adria posted a series of childhood snapshots, capturing their unbreakable bond. One throwback showed them as kids, sitting on a porch with their hair tied up in playful puffs. “Screaming happy birthday to my forever built-in best friend! I love you so much ,” Adria wrote.

The nostalgia kept flowing. Another featured a selfie of the sisters in recent years—Adria in a black beanie with long braids, while Simone playfully puckered up for the camera. The text overlay read, “twenty-ATE looks stunning on you 💙 And then came the ultimate sibling love: “Cutie sister booty b*** girl” followed by “Sending all the love and tequila your way!!! You’ve shaped me into the human I am—MUAH SISTER ILYSM . Indeed, beyond all the glitzy celebrations, it was the love that stood out the most.
