It’s been a year since Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’ Mexico wedding, and the Olympic gold medallist’s younger sister, Adria Biles, has sent her wishes to commemorate the couple’s joyous occasion. While the power couple legally got married on April 22, the date May 6 holds a special place as the duo exchanged vows in a close-knit celebration with the backdrop of the Pacific waters.
Due to their sporting commitments, the pair had to stay in various locations for a few months before their first anniversary. Despite all odds, Biles and Owens have stood strong beside each other, proving that they are soulmates – as rightly pointed out by the gymnast’s look-alike sister. Raising a toast to their love, Adria posted a picture from the Cabo ceremony, wanting to recreate the same moment once again.
“Happy Anniversary to you guys!!🥂to forever w your soulmate,” Adria wrote on her Instagram story, adding: “(if y’all wanna run it back we can🤣).” Adria Biles also shared a snapshot of herself thanking the setting spray that helped her conceal her happy tears. Her other stories also were dedicated to Simone Biles, including one with the bridesmaids.

Amid the mutual love for each other, Simone Biles and Adria Biles also share a similar passion for gymnastics. The two are also often confused for twins. Adria, who has always been motivated by her older sister, once recalled how the passion for the sport had crept into both at the same time. Recalling their amusement as kids, she stated, “My sister has always been fearless… When we were little kids, we’d stand on a railing on the second floor of our house, then jump off onto the couch down below on the first floor. She’d go first, and I’d follow. We were both gymnasts, so we were always trying things around the house. Nothing scared her.”

Not just a sister, Simone has been a motherly figure for Adria as she raised her from an early age. Before being adopted by their grandparents, Simone and Adria spent some time away in foster care. Recalling the time, she had said, “I wanted to take care of Adria obviously because she was the baby… I just felt like I needed to look out for her because if a family doesn’t look out for you, who’s going to?” The bond between the two sisters is truly an inspiration.
