For the Fourth of July holiday, Americans prepare far in advance so they may make lasting recollections with their loved ones. This year, many people flocked to their favorite spots to spend time with loved ones. With scheduled games on holidays, sporting businesses have been serving as the perfect holiday venue for decades. Cross-platform athletes express some loud support for their passions in the spheres of another sport, creating headlines.
When it comes to showing support for her home team, gymnastics, queen Simone Biles leaves no stone unturned. While the gymnast spent the holiday attending her friend’s wedding, three generations of her family were present to watch the match.

While Biles set the internet on fire, five members of her family attended the Houston Astros match against the Colorado Rockies at Minute Maid Park. Biles’s mother, Nellie Biles, shared an Instagram story of her brother’s post from @rbiles2 showing him and his wife holding their beautiful daughter, Biles’s sister, and their mom attending the match. Each one was twinning in a white Astros jersey while baby Biles and sister Adria sported the same colored fit.
The family sported wide smiles as they posed closely in the picture, though smiles weren’t the only accessories the Biles wore. Each one was well-geared with matching caps supporting Astros. Even baby Biles matched her outfit with an indigo headband, complimenting her cutest smile. The delightful match began with an impressive first-inning, Kessinger’s career first home run, and then Astros won with a 4-1 score.

The decorated gymnast has publically supported the team and now baby Biles who previously marked her first-ever MLB game last month returns to the stand. The recent addition to the support is surely leaving fans gushing over her early introduction to baseball. While Astros’ die-heart fan was absent this year, she often created a buzz with her presence back in the holidays.
Looking back at Simone Biles’s holiday attendance at the Astros match
The Houston Astros have at least twice had Simone Biles cheering them on. At Minute Maid Park on Opening Day of the previous season, Biles and her partner Jonathan Owens watched an Astros game. She posed for photos on the pitch, twinning in Astros jerseys, adding a little spice. In the past, on July 4, 2016, the Astros and Mariners played a game that was known for its ceremonial opening pitch thrown by Biles. Before pitching the ball to the catcher, Biles performed an aerial flip, leaving the spectators stunned.
