Adria is part of the Houston Astros Shooting Stars dance crew and represents the team at the home games hosted at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas.
The two sisters had spent time in foster care before they were adopted by their grandparents, Ron and Nellie, and are very close. They also have two other older siblings, Ron Jr. and Ashley Biles Thomas.
When Simone Biles courted controversially withdrew from some of the events at the 2020 Summer Olympics held in 2021 in Tokyo, her sister was one of the many who came out in support of the gymnast. Adria emphasized how people were being inconsiderate about her sister’s mental health.
Adria has also been mistaken for Simone multiple times. The picture posted above by the professional gymnast on her Instagram is testimony to how much the two sisters resemble each other.
In an interview with ESPN, the Claim to Fame star also talked about her sister’s popularity and how people have approached her for a photograph thinking she was the Olympian. Adria Biles said:
“It’s been funny to watch her go from normal Simone to famous Simone. Even in Brazil, people came up to me every day thinking I was her. They’d ask for autographs and take pictures. And many times they didn’t speak English so I couldn’t explain that I wasn’t her. They’d just say, ‘Simone! Simone!’ And finally, I decided it was easier to just let them take a picture.”
