Last year before the Olympics Simone Biles shared a photo of her niece Ronni dressed in a replica of her aunt’s black leotard from the 2023 Xfinity Gymnastics Championships. The Olympic champion introduced her as the “WCC’s newest elite team member,” and since then the aptly named Baby Biles has become somewhat of a regular at the World Champions Centre as she looks to follow in the footsteps of the GOAT.

Last October, we saw a video of her jumping around enthusiastically, climbing mats, and balancing herself on the trampoline, at Biles’ family-owned gym in Spring, Texas. Previously at the center, she has been spotted wearing a GK leotard as she tried to ace a floor routine like her TT. During the Paris Olympics, Ronni also wore an adorable mini-version of Biles’ red, white, and blue leotard, adorned with silver stars.

So, it is no surprise as the Simone Biles Invitational returned to the World Championships Center this season, Ronni was once again with her gymnast aunt, this time in another cute outfit.

After wrapping up a successful Paris Olympics, the Gold Over America Tour, and supporting her husband Jonathan Owens’ NFL season, Simone Biles has finally come down home, to Houston, for a generous stretch. But, she’s still not retreated into rest mode. Instead, she’s making the most of her time, and her latest actions prove it. After all, she has multiple things in the pipeline like finalizing details on her new house and, of course, hosting the 8th annual Simone Biles Invitational.

Ronnie was present at the Biles Invitational in a World Championship Center-themed tracksuit and her aunt couldn’t stop but gush over her cuteness. Taking to Instagram, she shared a story of the toddler looking at her and added the caption, “Miss girl is soooo cute. ms. ronni biles.” In another story, she also swooned over the fact that “baby sized stuff just looks so much cuter! I’m obsessed.”

Baby Biles seems to follow her aunt wherever she goes, cheering her on from Paris to her homecoming in Houston for the Gold Over America Tour. Hoisted on her mother’s shoulders she yelled “TT go, TT go,” as they made their way to the Toyota Center last October during the Tour. But it’s her early adventures on the mat that have turned a lot of heads.

Last year, the two-year-old was captured in a video by her mother Sammi Biles, as she played around at the facility donning a mini Team USA leotard and a red bow. She made it across different stages from the mat to jumping onto the foam pit cubes, all by herself, drawing encouragement from her mother who said, “See you did it, good job!” Meanwhile, Simone Biles also shared a glimpse of the supporters from her family who had turned up to volunteer at the Invitational which was scheduled from January 31 to February 2.

She shared a small snippet on her IG Story of a row of people including her husband, Jonathan Owens, seated and volunteering at the meet. And guess what? All of her tribe members were donning custom-made Simone Biles Invitational t-shirts. No wonder she captioned the story, “family that volunteers your competition [cry & heart emoji].”

Well, this hardly surprises us as we’ve seen Owens being Simone Biles’ rock all through. From flying to Paris to boost her morale at the Olympics and to surprising her in a Milwaukee hotel during the GOAT Tour, Owens hasn’t been shy in showing his love for Biles.

While Biles cherishes moments with baby Biles, Ronnie, she confirmed plans of having kids of her own in the future. Talking on the Today Show after the Paris Olympics she mentioned, “Me and Jonathan always talk about kids. He would have them, like, yesterday if he could have. Obviously, we both have goals that we want to achieve before we start a family. But yes, that’s definitely in our future.”

Well, motherhood can still be some time away for Biles, but she continues to be an inspiration to the young generation. Recently, a 3-year-old toddler pleasantly surprised Simone Biles in another adorable interaction.

Simone Biles’ new fan is adorable

On the first day of the meet, Biles shared an adorable clip of her 3-year-old fan, Sloan, who was dialing Biles on her toy phone. She was saying, “I have a balance beam for Christmas, Sibone Miles. What? You’ve a balance beam for Christmas. Awww..” The little one looked absolutely obsessed with Biles!

The veteran gymnast even met the toddler and shared the story on her IG.”“My heart [emoji] I got to meet sweet Sloan today!!!! she did her sassy [emoji] pose w/me! so adorable! DAY MADE,” she wrote.

We are sure there will be many such moments to come and more with Ronnie Biles as well. Simone Biles has inspired a legion of young fans and it looks like their love for her isn’t going away anytime soon.
