Simone Biles' sister Adria Biles took delight in coaching young girls at her parents-owned World Champions Center, where her Olympian sister also trains. The younger Biles was also an elite gymnast, having competed at level 9 in 2015 but concluded her career in 2016.

Simone and Adria Biles were adopted by their grandparents, Nellie and Ron Biles, at a very young age. The latter followed in her sister's gymnastics footsteps and took up the sport at age nine. In a 2016 interview, the 11-time Olympic medalist revealed how her sister was always more courageous than her, front-lining the adventures in the house.

"My sister has always been fearless....We were both gymnasts, so we were always trying things around the house. Nothing scared her." (via ESPN)

Following her retirement from elite gymnastics in 2016, Simone Biles' sister joined the Houston Astros dance team, the Shooting Stars in 2022. She was also a participant in a Claim to Fame season.

In a recent Instagram story, the younger Biles shared that she has been working closely with the young gymnasts at her parents-owned World Champions Center, where her Olympian sister trains. She posted a photo collage, capturing her camaraderie with the gymnasts, and captioned:

"My girls have had a competition every weekend since the beginning of Sept and I'm so so proud of them. I'm so in love with my job and I'm so grateful I get to be their coach. They're my babies and I'm obsessed w them."

In 2021, a study of the US national squads by the Telegraph went viral, which claimed that the younger siblings achieved more success in two out of three cases. The post particularly caught the attention of the 30-time World medalist, who urged her sister Adria Biles to return to gymnastics.

"uh oh @adria_biles you better get back in the gym sister"

In the Facebook Watch series, Simone vs Herself, the Olympian talked about taking care of her sister since young.

"I wanted to take care of Adria obviously because she was the baby. I just felt like I needed to look out for her because if family doesn't look out for you, who's going to?"

The siblings were placed in foster care by their biological mother, Shannon Biles, who struggled with drug abuse and addiction. Their two brothers, Tevin and Ashley, were adopted by their aunt.
