Simone Biles’ niece, Ronni, aka Baby Biles, is already following in her footsteps, whether cheering her on or visiting the gymnastics center. On Simone’s big day, one-year-old Ronni joined her at the trials in Fort Worth. Ronni is the daughter of Simone’s brother, Ron Biles II, and Sammi Biles.

Recently, Sammi Biles shared an Instagram story in which Ronni was wearing a USA gymnastics outfit, captioned, “Almost burst into tears experiencing this with her. So incredibly grateful—my first love combined with my lovely bestie miracle rainbow girl.”

Is Ronni Biles Simone Biles’ ace in the hole?

At the 2024  U.S. Gymnastics Championships, Baby Biles was spotted cheering her from far (from home). At that time, Sammi Biles shared a touching Instagram post where Baby Biles was seen cheering on her aunt, celebrating TT’s 9th AA win with the caption, “Congratulations again to TT on her 9th AA win 🫶🤯🐐✨.” It’s heartwarming to see her niece’s support for her aunt but this all started from last year in the most adorable way possible.

Ronni, who has been at the center of Simone’s world since her arrival a year and seven months ago. But she seems to share a deep connection with gymnastics just like her aunt. Her journey began in the stands during the 2023 Xfinity US Championships, where Simone made her comeback after withdrawing from the Tokyo Olympics twisties. Since then, Ronni has been a constant presence, witnessing Simone’s performances with enthusiasm, including at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships where Simone made history with another move named after her.

But that’s not all!! However, Ronni has also taken her budding interest in gymnastics further. On May 8, 2024, Simone proudly shared a photo of Ronni dressed in a black leotard, announcing Ronni as “WCC’s newest elite team member” at the World Champions Centre (owned by Biles parents). It seems Ronni is following in Simone’s footsteps, sparking the question: could she be the next Simone Biles? Only time will tell!!
