Seeing Biles and Chiles help a baby walk—does this show their greatness beyond gymnastics?

With the Paris Olympics in the rearview mirror, Simone Biles isn’t slowing down—she’s gearing up for yet another golden moment! This time, it’s all about the Gold Over America tour, a gymnastics concert extravaganza kicking off on September 16th and running till November 3rd. Picture it: 30 cities, a whirlwind of flips, splits, and all-around awesomeness. The countdown is on, and you can bet rehearsals are in full swing.

But here’s where things get adorable. During one of these rehearsals, a little magic happened. Enter former Bachelorette star Becca Kufrin’s baby boy, Benny, who decided to steal the show by taking his very first steps right in front of none other than Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles! Can you imagine the level of star power in the room for that milestone?

Becca spilled the beans on Instagram, captioning her story with, “I have peaked. Nothing will top today. Jordan Chiles and Simone Biles witnessed Benny’s first steps.” And just when you thought it couldn’t get cuter, she posted another story showing Benny getting a little walking practice with a helping hand from Chiles. Her caption? “This was Take 2. But it counts.” Oh, it definitely counts, Becca!

In case you’re wondering, Becca Kufrin is kind of a big deal in reality TV land. She first won hearts (and roses) in the 22nd season of The Bachelor and went on to star as the leading lady in The Bachelorette’s 14th season. She met her now-husband, Thomas Jacobs, on yet another reality TV venture, Bachelor in Paradise, in 2021. Fast forward to October 13, 2023, when they welcomed baby Benny into the world. And now, not even a year old, he’s taking steps with an Olympic gymnastics champ by his side. No big deal.

But Benny isn’t just walking—he’s soaking up the vibes. In an Instagram story by his dad, Thomas Jacobs, we see Benny sitting on his father’s lap, wide-eyed and watching Simone Biles and the GOAT (Gold Over America Tour) gymnastics stars rehearse a performance to “Rise Up” by Andra Day. The caption? “Benson getting inspiration from the GOAT to take his first steps.” Clearly, the kid has taste.

If you think this is Simone’s first stint inspiring tiny tots, think again. Remember ‘Baby Biles’? That’s Simone’s niece, who basically went viral during the Paris Olympics. She was spotted watching her aunt train in her own mini leotard—future Olympian vibes, right? Sammi Biles, her mom, uploaded the adorable moment on Instagram. And yes, ‘Baby Biles’ is already training at Simone’s WCC gym, hinting that she might just follow in her aunt’s legendary footsteps. But here’s the thing: inspiring the next generation is exactly what the Gold Over America tour is also about!
