Earlier this year, Simone Biles’ sister-in-law, Sammi Biles, was forced to bid goodbye to her third miscarriage in four years. This loss came after Sammi revealed in June of the previous year that she had tragically lost her second baby, who had faced numerous complications. The pain was unbearable, and the years seemed so long, but as the year was coming to an end, it appeared that a Christmas miracle had come to bring light into the darkness of such grief. Just yesterday, Simone Biles’ brother and sister-in-law shared the joyous news that they’re expecting again, announcing with pure excitement, “GOD IS GOOD!!! I’m so grateful, blessed, and excited to share with everyone… WE’RE PREGNANT!!”

The happy parents-to-be, Ron and Sammi, revealed that their little one is due in June 2025, bringing a wave of love and gratitude. The announcement was made even more special with a carousel of touching photos, including the sonogram that read, “We share your joy,” marking this beautiful milestone in their journey. The couple expressed how over the moon they were, feeling deeply thankful as they reflected on the prayers answered by God. And now, Sammi, who has bravely faced the trauma of multiple miscarriages, has made a courageous confession as she opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of this new chapter.

On December 10, Sammi Biles took to her Instagram stories to share a heartfelt and hopeful update with her followers. She expressed deep gratitude, saying, “We are extremely thankful for every single prayer, comment, message, text, phone call, support, and encouragement… we see & acknowledge every single one of you & never forget who is in our small corner of the internet &, even more so, in our lives.” She reflected on the outpouring of love and support that has surrounded her and her family, reminding her that it truly “takes a village” and how much she appreciates everyone who’s stood by them. Sammi emphasized that sharing their journey isn’t about seeking sympathy, but about spreading hope and having faith.

Sammi also recalled a moment from earlier in the year, when she felt overwhelmed. “Looking back at my posts from August, I threw up my hands and said it’s too much for me to carry alone; I am not meant to be in control. He is.” She continued by acknowledging the difference between the beginning and end of the year, noting, “We started 2024 with a miscarriage & now ending 2024 with a pregnancy. Am I scared? Yes. Am I hopeful for redemption? Yes,” she said, reminding us that both emotions can coexist.

With a deep sense of gratitude, Sammi thanked everyone for their love and support. “Thank you, thank you, thank you for loving us.” She also extended a message to others who might be struggling with similar battles: “If you are in the thick of it right now or closing that chapter, please know that you are not forgotten about. It breaks my heart to see friends in the trenches, and I so desperately pray for God to wrap you in His arms filled with peace.” She ended her message with love from her family, saying, “Love—the Biles fam.”

As they step into this new chapter, Simone Biles’ sister-in-law, Sammi, faced yet another heartbreaking miscarriage before all of this, and even baby Biles, Ronnie, has had her share of struggles along the way. Despite the tough times, each member of the family has shown incredible strength and resilience. Through the ups and downs, they’ve kept pushing forward, with Ronnie now in a better place and Junior Biles soon on the way!

Junior Biles: An answer to the prayers?

Back in June 2023, Simone Biles’ family member shared the sad revelation: “Ronni would have had a little sister.” In her open post, she shared her feelings, reflecting on the pain of her second miscarriage, a grief that felt all too familiar after her first loss, which had happened over nine weeks into pregnancy. As sad as the story may be Sammi and Ron have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl whom they named Ronni. But life threw another curveball their way when little Ronni had a major health scare before her first birthday. Sammi shared a terrifying moment on Instagram, showing a T-shirt stained with blood and describing the panic of finding Ronni vomiting blood after a fever. “Thank God she’s ok,” Sammi said with much relief after their daughter was given the clear.

Despite the fact, that she has faced a severe struggle on the way to motherhood, including infertility issues, and miscarriages in the past years, Sammi has always been prayerful. She reflected on the struggle, asking, “I don’t understand why something is given only to be taken away?” Yet, she also found strength in her unwavering belief that “God does and I have to trust His plan for us and our family.” That trust led her to IVF, a process that Sammi recounted as being as treacherous. She fearlessly managed the process, as she was aware of how exhausting and challenging it could be–to the person’s patience, relationship, and sanity.

But through it all, Sammi is standing strong, filled with gratitude and anticipation for the new life growing inside her. Her resilient spirit shines through as she shares the bittersweet joy of this new chapter. As for little Ronni, she’s already buzzing with excitement, kissing her mom’s belly and wishing for a baby sister. Could the Biles family be about to welcome another future gymnastics champ? Well, you know what they say: the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Let’s see what the future holds for this beautiful, strong family!
