Simone Biles‘ sister-in-law Sammi Biles recently shared a somber update with her followers. In a heartbreaking update, Sammi Biles revealed that she suffered her third miscarriage in four years and had to bid an emotional farewell to another unborn child. This comes after Sammi revealed in June last year that she lost her second unborn baby in 2022 who suffered from several complications.

On January 9, 2024, Sammi Biles posted a reel on Instagram that began with a glimpse of an email congratulating her on being pregnant again. The caption read, What I think Heaven will sound like…” with a background track in which a child is heard saying, Mommy”. However, as the reel transitioned, a tragic update came to the fore. The video showed Sammi sobbing, and the caption read,3 of Ronni’s siblings gone too soon,” adding three angel emojis and a broken heart emoticon.

In the post, she wrote about her ordeal while expressing her sadness and anger, “not the way anyone wants to start off their “new year”
but here we are. from the biggest Christmas surprise blessing to now being a mom of reoccurring pregnancy loss with three angel babies in Heaven. how is this my life?”

She further shared that to get pregnant again and to give Ronni’s siblings the road ahead would likely involve the arduous journey of IVF once again. The post further read, “I grieve not only them but grieving the fact that in order to try to have a sibling earthside for ronni we will have to go through IVF…again. and even that is not guaranteed. IVF is treacherous. it’s battle. it’s war. it’s expensive. it tests your marriage. it’s time consuming. it’s meticulous. it tests your sanity.”

Struggling with feelings of numbness, anger, and sadness, she found herself grappling with the harsh reality of infertility, the toll of four consecutive years of pregnancy, and her third miscarriage. Sammi Biles expressed, “my body needs a break. 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 consecutive years being pregnant and 1 earth-side baby to show for it has taken its toll. i don’t understand why something is given only to be taken away? but God does and I have to trust His plan for us and our family.”

Sammi and her husband Ron Biles Jr, Simone’s brother, have faced testing times with the couple having to go through the loss of three unborn children in the last four years. Not only that, their only child had a health scare of her own a few months away from her first birthday.

Back in June 2023, nearly seven months after Ronni Biles was born, Sammi Biles revealed that “Ronni would have had a little sister.” She also attached a note where she bravely opened up about the heartbreak of experiencing a second miscarriage. Prior to that loss, Ron had also recounted that Sammi’s first miscarriage occurred after more than nine weeks of pregnancy.

Though the couple have found happiness in their baby daughter Ronni Biles, they were left worried after their only child had a major health scare months before she turned one. In July last year, Sammi Biles shared a photo of a T-shirt stained with blood marks on Instagram along with a caption that read, “on today’s episode of what happened in our household: the scary af sh*t no one prepares you for as a mom your child running a low-grade fever last night and this morning then throws up blood. thank God she’s ok and we have gotten her checked out.” Little Ronni has had her struggles on her road to turning one, having to overcome COVID and Norovirus and dealing with respiratory syncytial virus RSV.
