Simone Biles has countless fans around the world who claim to be her biggest supporters, but for Simone, her favorite fan is already chosen. It’s none other than the youngest member of the Biles clan, her niece Ronni Biles. Famously known as “Baby Biles,” Ronni is the daughter of Sammi and Ronn Biles II, Simone’s brother. The one-year-old adores her Olympian aunt and has been seen following in her footsteps, as showcased by Sammi on social media.
From matching leotards to imitating Simone’s moves while watching her on TV, Ronni’s admiration is clear. She even followed her TT to the World Champions Center, where she has been enrolled as a budding gymnast. Now, nearly two weeks after starting her training, the newly-turned gymnast is showing off her adorable flexibility, much to the delight of her family and fans.

How Ronni made her way into the world of gymnastics at WCC
On May 4, 2024, Sammi Biles shared a heartwarming moment on Instagram: Ronni’s first steps at WCC, owned by her grandparents Ron and Nellie Biles. Ronni, dressed in a charming blue leotard adorned with colorful macaroons, fixated her gaze on Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos, the French artistic gymnast who trains alongside Simone at WCC. The caption of the post read, “How do you say? là où tout commence 🤸🏽♀️✨🇫🇷 ft. tiny gymnast with big dreams💫 admiring @melanie_djds972.” Translated to English, “là où tout commence” means “where everything begins.”
A few days later, Simone Biles took to Instagram Stories and shared a picture of the adorable Ronni dressed in a black leotard—a replica of the one her aunt wore at the 2023 Xfinity Gymnastics Championships by GK Elite. The caption of the post read, “WCC’s newest elite team member, my niece Ronni.” Since then, in just under two weeks, Ronni has already commenced training, as evident in the poise shown in the latest update. Fans eagerly anticipate more updates as Ronni follows in her aunt’s footsteps, possibly one day competing on the global and Olympic stage, just like Simone.
