?Had Zero Contact?: Simone Biles? Sister Opens Up on Challenge of Being Away From Her Family for So Long

Simone Biles, often touted as the G.O.A.T of gymnastics, considers her family a huge support. Simone and her younger sister, Adria, were formally adopted by their maternal grandparents. They consider them their parents ever since. One would find it hard to call them their adoptive parents seeing the bond they share.

Adira Biles, who is two years younger, is a great support system for the gymnast queen. She recently took part in a reality show, ?Claim to Fame.’ In an interview, she discussed how the experience made her miss her family.

They go on a search to reveal the identities of other contestants while also protecting theirs. Adria contested with the name, Louise. Although people guessed her identity at the beginning of the show, Logan revealed it causing an exit. She said it was just a game and she was ok with it.
