Adria Biles can’t get enough of hanging out with her superstar sister, Simone Biles, especially after the GOAT’s epic performance at the Paris Olympics, where Adria was one of her biggest cheerleaders. Working closely at the World Champions Centre (WCC), owned by their parents Ronald and Nellie Biles, Adria is more than just Simone’s little sister—she’s right there in the action, soaking up all the sisterly vibes. And before Paris? Adria was front and center, watching her sister perform magic at the gym, living every moment of that dream life.

On The Chris Osmond Show episode 6, Adria spilled the beans on her busy life at the gym. “I work at the gym, so my mom’s there all the time. Before Paris, my sister was training there every day, so I saw them too every day,” she said. As for her role? “I work at the front desk, deal with lovely people all day, and coach. I’m obsessed with my girls—I love them so much.” Clearly, Adria is the heart and soul of WCC, juggling her roles like a pro while enjoying every bit of family time.

Though she once gave gymnastics a go, Adria decided to step back from the sport at 17. The reason? Competing against Simone! According to the gymnastics queen herself, Adria got tired of always coming in second to her big sister and decided it was time to call it quits. Simone Biles said, “Whenever she went to competitions like ‘Oh, her sister always wins, she always wins, that’s not fair.’ So she quit.” But that doesn’t mean she’s lost her love for gymnastics.

As Simone Biles was gearing up to conquer Paris, Adria decided to have a little fun of her own. She posted a hilarious video attempting a standing full and other daring gymnastics moves in a foam pit at WCC, only to end up face-planting into the foam. Her split attempt? Let’s just say it ended with Adria exclaiming, “ow ow ow!” She wrapped it all up with a backward flick and a surprisingly flawless aerial, showing she’s still got some of that Biles magic.

Adria captioned the post, “You sure yall don’t need help in Paris? ” Clearly, she was proud of her attempts and wasn’t shy about showing off her playful side. Adria’s sense of humor is always on point, whether she’s goofing around at the gym or joking about being ‘jealous’ of Jonathan Owens!

Unlike Simone Biles, Adria wasn’t impressed by Jonathan Owens at first sight!

In a surprising twist, Adria Biles also told Chris Osmon how she wasn’t thrilled when Simone Biles tied the knot with Jonathan Owens. Growing up inseparable, Adria was pretty used to having Simone all to herself, so the idea of sharing her with someone else didn’t sit too well at first.

Adria admitted, “So when she met Jonathan I was not happy like I knew he was a good guy and I knew they were great but I was like you’re taking my time away from her. Like I felt so annoyed and so like to be honest me and him didn’t get along. I was just like being a brat.”

But fast forward to over a year since their marriage, and it’s clear there are no hard feelings. Adria was a bridesmaid at Simone’s wedding, and she’s since made peace with Jonathan Owens, even thanking him for loving Simone. Adria and Jonathan have teamed up to support the women’s gymnastics GOAT, proving that even with a little initial sibling rivalry, the bond between Adria and Simone remains unbreakable.
