Simone Biles and her sister—Is this the most heartwarming duo in sports right now?

Ahead of the Paris Olympics, Simone Biles just dropped an exciting collaboration with her sister Adria Biles. In a humorous commercial for U.S. Bank, fans got to witness the sisters indulge in some banter! “Sister shopping sprees just got better!” the older Biles sister captioned her Instagram post.

In the video, she was heard saying, “The U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card gets cashback on everything on everything I buy for big trips.”

But as a typical sister, Adria was not entirely convinced. “Everything, everything?” she questioned. And Simone Biles answered, “Everything, everything.” From shopping to food, Simone showed her sister how it covered EVERYTHING!

Back in May, the U.S. Bank announced how they, along with Visa, were working on a new campaign with Simone and Adria Biles. It was named the “Everything Everything” campaign. It corresponds with the introduction of a new red, white, and blue look for the U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature card. And that commercial we just saw is just the first TV spot and will run on streaming platforms till the end of 2024.

Have an interesting take?

A second TV spot has also been planned. It will showcase how one can use the card while planning a trip. As per the information available, it will air on NBC, Peacock, and other channels, during the Olympic Games Paris 2024 this summer.

While many athletes often put on an awkward face in front of a camera, Simone and Adria seemed at ease. And it looks like Instagram fans too loved their acting skills! What did they say?

Twins? Lookalike? Fans won’t stop!

Twins are usually born minutes apart from one another and may have indistinguishable features. However, one look at the comments section would fool you into thinking that Simone and Adria Biles are indeed twins. “Sisters looking like TWINS!!!” wrote one fan. Even long-time fans thought Simone Biles had a doppelganger for the first few seconds of the ads.

“I thought they were both you (Simone Biles). I thought it was one of those videos where you played your own twin til I kept watching,” commented an Instagram follower. But no, they aren’t twins. In fact, Simone Biles is two years older. Adria is 25 and taller than her sister.

In 2021, Simone made a cheeky attempt to get her younger sister back in the fold. “When a pair of siblings both played the same sport professionally, the younger one was more successful,” she shared on X, citing a study published in the Telegraph.
