“She’s also kind and humble, and I’m so proud to have her as my sister”, this was Simone Biles’ acknowledgment of her beloved sister to ESPN in 2016. Since then, time has passed with its nature, lifting the gymnastics legend to the highest level possible. However, Simone Biles couldn’t change herself from taking a special remembrance of her problem-flicked childhood and the situations the Biles siblings had survived together. On that estimate, the 26-year-old champion had worn that situation as a cloak of hers that had once made her habituated to hardship. Nonetheless, the sister was also on the same route as her, through thick and thin.
On January 27, Simone Biles gave a brief insight into the love she holds for her sibling. However, Biles’ familiar ones couldn’t keep being an audience just as they also joined in.

On Saturday, January 27, Adria Biles celebrated her 25th birthday. For an occasion like this, Simone Biles’ appearance was naturally expected, and she followed suit. Soon after the birthday bells rang at midnight, the 4x Olympic gold medalist dropped her message on the IG story. The emotional lines went, “happy 25th birthday sister… i love you so much… hope your day includes plenty of tequila & shots… you deserve it”. That uncapped a shower of wishes from Simone’s gang to whom Adria is a known entity.
At first, Jordan Chiles came with her short but humble wish, “Happy birthday @adria_biles” through her IG story. The LSU Tiger Zoe Miller also penned down the same message for Adria, adding, “love you so much! enjoy your day!”
Adria Biles couldn’t keep her joy hidden with such heartfelt wishes as she already made a thankful gesture to Miller through her IG story share. Moreover, these wishes mattered to her more, as she also shares the same gymnastic circle as Simone does. So from that perspective, the 25th birthday anniversary came full circle for Adria, where her inspiration and friendly engagements were celebrated in the same color.

Pillars of support for each other
For Adria Biles, her sister maintains multiple roles where parenthood and inspiration come side by side. Despite being older by just two years, Simone Biles has played the role of loving mother to her sister since their foster care days. “I just felt like I needed to look out for her because if family doesn’t look out for you, who’s going to?” the senior sister conceded.

Both sisters have passed their problem-flicked childhood long ago. But the warmth remains the same.
