Before Simone Biles was immortalized as a member of the Fierce Five at the 2016 Summer Olympics, she already had the unwavering support of her team at home: her parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles, and her siblings, Ronald Jr., Adam and Adria.

This solid family unit is what the Biles’ sought to create for her and her younger sister Adria when they adopted them from foster care and moved them to Houston. The sisters also share two older siblings, Ashley and Tevin, who were adopted by their great-aunt.

“Growing up, my biological mom was suffering from drug and alcohol abuse and she was in and out of jail,” Simone shared during her time competing on Dancing with the Stars. “I never had a mom to run to … At 3 years old, I was placed in foster care… Whenever we had visits with my grandpa [Ronald Sr.], I was so excited.”

Simone got into gymnastics when she settled in Houston and has flourished in her career,

winning four Olympic gold medals and claiming a record 30 World Championship medals. Despite her sister’s ascension to legendary status, Adria has likened their relationship to that of typical siblings.

“I think when people ask this question they don’t realize she is completely normal,” she told USA Today in 2022. “She doesn’t do flips around the house. We still fight sometimes and I steal her clothes. We are like best friends.”

Here’s everything to know about Simone Biles siblings: Ronald Jr., Adam, Adria, Ashley and Tevin.

Simone’s oldest brother is a family man. Ronald Jr. married his wife Samantha in 2020 and the couple have been very open on social media about their struggles with pregnancy loss, infertility and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Ronald Jr. and Samantha shared news of their pregnancy in 2022.

“We’re pregnant with our rainbow baby it’s been so hard to contain this joy + excitement anxiousness, Ronald Jr. wrote on Instagram. “I’m still in shock to be completely transparent. It’s taken me some time to process as everyday is a miracle huge milestone for us.

They welcomed their daughter, Ronni Louise Biles, on Nov. 25, 2022. Since then, Ronald Jr. has shared clips of their little girl’s milestones, including a video of her watching her aunt Simone in action at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in October 2023.

“I’m definitely honored to be your big brother and so blessed to be apart of this journey with you,” he wrote on instagram. “You definitely inspire me everyday and clearly your little Ronni is inspired as well. Congratulations again and well done girl!!” Adam was the manager of the family gym

Adam was the general manager at Simone’s training facility, World Champions Centre, in

Spring, Texas. Ronald and Nellie opened the gym in 2014 so their daughter could have stability while training rather than follow a coach around the country. The gym hosts the Biles Invitational and has also been the training home of 2020 Olympic team silver medalist Jordan Chiles.

Adria was also a gymnast

Simone isn’t the only high flier in the family. Adria followed in her big sister’s footsteps and took up gymnastics as well. She was an elite gymnast for a decade and trained with Simone until 2016.

“My sister has always been fearless,” Adria wrote in an opinion piece for ESPN in 2016. “When we were little kids, we’d stand on a railing on the second floor of our house, then jump off onto the couch down below on the first floor. She’d go first, and I’d follow. We were both gymnasts, so we were always trying things around the house. Nothing scared her.”

Adria and Simone are often mistaken for twins

Despite Adria being two years younger than Simone, they are often mistaken for twins. In an op-ed for ESPN, Adria shared her experience with unsuspecting fans while supporting her sister at the 2016 Olympics.

“Even in Brazil, people came up to me every day thinking I was her. They’d ask for autographs and take pictures,” she recalled. “And many times they didn’t speak English so I couldn’t explain that I wasn’t her. They’d just say, “Simone! Simonel and finally I decided it was easier to just lot

them take a picture.” Adria continued, “We do look alike, I’ll give them that. But I’m about 5-bot-2. Simone is 4-foot-8 I’m a good head taller than her. When we are side by side, people can definitely tell us apart.”

Simone has also said that people think she and her brother Tevin could be twins. “my brother Tevin everyone says we look like twins, but we don’t see it,” the gymnast wrote on X (formerly Twitter) in 2017 alongside three photos with her brother.

As part of a rotational deployment, Tevin was sent to Korea in 2018. Simone showed support for her older brother as he embarked on his military career.
