Ever wondered what a young Simone Biles might have been like? Well, you might want to check out “Baby Biles”—Ronni Biles, Simone’s little niece, as she is already following in her footsteps. From wearing leotards to cheering on Simone and even attending gymnastics classes at the age of two, Baby Biles is doing everything she can to carry on the Biles legacy. Recently, she was spotted at a gymnastics center, stretching alongside other kids. It seems she is officially ready for her gymnastics journey. The sweetest part? Her grandma is all in on her journey, even gifting her some of Simone’s favorite items!

Ronni’s leotard collection is quickly becoming a part of the gymnastics lore. Her moves on the apparatus have everyone believing gymnastics runs in the Biles’ blood. On January 4, Sammi Biles, Ronni’s mom

, is unpacking some special gifts. The soft glow of the night lights up a pile of beautifully wrapped surprises, and as she peels back the paper, a blue leotard is the first to emerge. But that’s just the start. Next up, a light blue one from the famous GK Elite brand, followed by a vibrant purple leotard with the same brand’s tag. And then, the pièce de résistance: a stunning black and red flowery leotard, with “Simone” written right on it, as if to say, ‘The legacy continues.’

As if that wasn’t enough, another black leotard, again from the same brand with Simone’s name proudly on it, makes its appearance. Little Ronni, seeing the collection of leotards, excitedly exclaims, “

Cool!” All of these beautiful gifts? They were lovingly given by Grandma Nellie Biles, ensuring that the legacy of gymnastics in the Biles family is passed down, one perfect leotard at a time. Just days ago, Sammi’s daughter was back at it, showing off her moves in the gym, wobbling her way through a series of moves with determination.

Watching her in action, Simone’s sister-in-law could barely hold back her pride, sharing the moment on social media with the caption,

“I spy our spicy baby girl.” It’s a surreal feeling for the family to witness Ronni following in the footsteps of the most decorated gymnast of all time. But the best part came when Baby Biles cheered her aunt in Paris!

“But still I rise” – A tribute to Simone Biles

Baby Biles certainly knew how to fangirl! From the moment she could walk, she’s been in awe of her gymnast aunt, Simone Biles, and she never missed a chance to show it. After cheering her heart out in Paris, Baby Biles was back at it again, when she was wearing a dress that carried a special message: “But still I rise.” And guess what? Simone had them tattooed on her body.

Baby Biles was front and center when Simone’s “Gold Over America” tour hit Houston. As they entered the Toyota Center, Sammi Biles shared a heartwarming clip on Instagram. In the video, Baby Biles excitedly chanted “TT” when she spotted her aunt on the big screen. Even last year in September, Sammi Biles, shared a video of Baby Biles attempting a “toddler wolf turn” on Instagram, showing off her impressive focus. Despite a small tumble, her mom expressed pride in how Ronni was learning gymnastics without formal lessons, simply by watching and listening to all things gymnastics.

Before turning one, Baby Biles was already showing her passion for gymnastics. Her mom shared a cute moment of Ronni trying to pull herself up on the crib rings, captioning it, “Watching TT and wanting to be like her.” For her first birthday, she received a biography of her aunt Simone and matching leotards, connecting her to the Biles legacy. With her natural passion for gymnastics and early signs of following in Simone Biles’ footsteps, Baby Biles certainly has a bright future ahead.
