In the Chris Osmond Spotify podcast, Simone Biles' sister Adria Biles talked about U.S. gymnast Biles's wishes to have babies with her husband, Jonathan Owens. Adria also shared her bond with Simone and about their relationship.

Simone tied the knot in April 2023 with NFL player Jonathan Owens, who supported her at the 2024 Paris Olympics where she won three gold and one silver medal. Having achieved a lot in their careers, the two, according to Adria, are nowthinking of having kids.

Adria also spoke about her feelings when Simone first met Jonathan and how their relationship has evolved over time,

"That's my sister, and I'm so selfish with her (Simone). So when she met Jonathan, I was not happy. I knew he was a good guy, and I knew they were great, but he was taking my time away from her, and I felt so annoyed."

"Now in the present, it's like he's my older brother to me, and Now she's(Simone) like I wanna have babies, and I'm like, please just hold off," Adria added.

Who are all Simone Biles' siblings?

Simone Biles has three siblings: Adria Biles, and Ashley Biles-Thomas are her sisters, while Tevin Biles-Thomas is her brother.

Shannon, Simone's mother, was addicted to alcohol and drugs, and all four of her children were placed in foster care. After learning about the children in foster care, Simone's maternal grandfather, Ron Biles, and his second wife, Nellie Cayetano Biles decided to foster them.

Ron and Nellie then began caring for the children temporarily in the north Houston suburb of Spring, Texas. After three years, Ron and Nellie formally adopted Shanon's youngest daughters, Simone and her sister Adria. Ron's sister, Harriet, adopted Ashley and Tevin, who remained in Cleveland, Ohio.

Despite not having the ideal familial environment in the early stages of her childhood, Simone Biles has gone on to become one of the greatest gymnasts in history.

Adria, like her older sister, began participating in the sport at the age of nine. After competing at the junior elite level, she discontinued gymnastics in 2016. Adria then took a different course, studying dentistry and planning to specialize in cleanliness.

Adria has already gained widespread recognition after appearing on the show Claim to Fame in 2022. Simone and Adria are extremely close. Adria was a bridesmaid for Simone at her destination wedding to Green Bay Packers defender Jonathan Owens.

Simone Biles' older siblings, Ashley and Tevin have had more turbulent lives. Both have been involved in several criminal cases.

Ashley has been arrested multiple times for drug trafficking, violence, and driving under the influence. Tevin was also detained in a triple murder case on New Year's Eve, but was eventually acquitted owing to a lack of evidence.

Simone's bond with Ashley and Tevin isn't as strong as it is with Adria. The star gymnast also has two more half-siblings, Ron Jr. and Adam, who her grandparents adopted.
