30x World Championships medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles doesn’t have a daughter. If you ask this question to a die-hard fan of the 4x Olympic gold medalist, you may be met with puzzled silence. However, the questions and rumors surrounding the 27-year-old gymnastics icon’s motherhood are far more common than you’d guess.
If you’re wondering why people might think Biles has a daughter if she never gave birth. However, the reason many have raised this question is because of Baby Biles’s frequent appearances on the gymnast’s social media. Simone Biles’ has made several posts cradling Little Ronni Louise Biles in her arms since November 2022.
However, the baby girl is not her daughter, but her niece. Born on November 25, 2022, Baby Biles is the daughter of the champion gymnast’s older brother Ron and sister-in-law Sammi Biles. Yet, that doesn’t mean the 7x Olympic medalist’s niece wasn’t the star of the Biles family as soon as she came into the world. The 9x NCAA all-around champion adores Baby Biles.
Ronni Biles’s birth was a significant moment for the entire Biles family. It marked the end of a long and difficult struggle for Roni and his wife Samantha Biles, who struggled with pregnancy loss. After their marriage, Simone Biles’ brother- and sister-in-law fought a long and emotionally taxing battle with infertility and in vitro fertilization (IVF).
“I’m still in shock to be completely transparent. It’s taken me some time to process as every day is a miracle + huge milestone for us.” Ron Biles wrote while announcing the pregnancy. Hence it’s easy to see why Baby Biles finds her way into her aunt’s arms every time they meet. However, just because the veteran Olympian hasn’t had a baby yet, doesn’t mean she won’t have children.
Simone Biles isn’t focusing on parenthood just yet
The world’s most decorated gymnast faced questions about her plans to become a mother as soon as announced her marriage plans. The 2023 all-around world champion answered an eager fan on Instagram, that she wanted two kids. Biles’ athlete husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens also wanted children.
Simone Biles revealed that her husband hopes they’ll become proud parents of three children. However, the Paris-bound Olympian was quite frustrated with unfounded rumors in December last year. When Jonathan Owen’s supportive wife went to one of his NFL games, some commentators speculated if the gymnast was pregnant. An agitated Biles later shut down those rumors.
The gymnastics legend and her husband want to become parents. However, the couple is currently focused on furthering their respective careers. Will Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens consider having children after the 2024 Olympics? Only time will tell.
