Apart from being a fierce competitor on the mat, Simone Biles’s identity goes as being an emotional athlete. Her attachment to her peers and fellow gymnasts has attested to that fact from time to time. Now, in camaraderie with elite gymnast Jordan Chiles, the duo is in the habit of setting new friendship goals for their fans.

So, this year, after February’s national gymnastics camp in Texas, Simone Biles will join her ‘hype-girl’ in April in Katy for a similar engagement. But before that, both Simone and Jordan enjoyed themselves when a family celebration came up along the way. Simone Biles savored the moment entirely as she joined her loved ones in their special commemoration.

Simone Biles’s bonding with Jordan Chiles and her sister Jazmin Chiles received a new ‘hype’ as the trio appeared in a similar hue on a special occasion. As per Jazmin’s IG story, Gina Chiles, mother of Jordan, celebrated her birthday in a gathering of peers from a close circle. Being one of the closest, Simone Biles appeared at the party with her family members, Nelie, Ron, Adria, Ronni, and Sammi Biles.

Eventually, Jordan’s father opened a pleasant surprise at the party for Chiles lady and it was a black glossy jeep. The crowd erupted in joy as Gina broke into tears. Meanwhile, Simone Biles appeared in the scene pacifying the birthday lady. Subsequently, a concerted cheering from Jordan, Jazmine, and others filled the vibe.

However, a seemingly happy Timothy Chiles slowly moved to the loving wife to hug her and walked her to the gift. The party ended with luxury meals and foot-tapping. But for Simone, it was one such similar emotional journey that she shared multiple times with her fellow gymnasts. Suni Lee could vouch for that. 

A similar day with a special affability 

If Gina Chiles is one parent to witness Simone Biles sharing emotion, then John Lee could be another on that list. After Suni Lee’s Tokyo Olympics victory, Simone came to know about John’s fateful situation of being paralyzed. The 7x Olympic medalist couldn’t calm herself noticing the suffering Suni Lee’s father was going through. So, to ease that, the legend did something unthinkable.

Collaborating with Today, Simone Biles sent an electric wheelchair to John to help him move freely. With the gift, a lovely note came from the most decorated gymnast, narrating: “Hi, Mr. Lee, it’s Simone… You have done so much for her so I reached out to my friends at the TODAY show to see if we could do something special for you. Hope you like it.” No one could thank her enough on that day. Yesterday that vibe echoed again in the lores of Simone Biles.
