In the world of gymnastics, Simone Biles stands as an unparalleled icon, celebrated not only for her extraordinary athletic prowess but also for her inspiring personal journey. As she marked her 28th birthday, the occasion was graced by heartfelt messages from loved ones, notably her husband, Jonathan Owens, and her sister, Adria Biles. Their expressions of love and admiration resonated deeply, capturing the essence of familial bonds and the power of supportive relationships.
“The little girl in me would look for you in every single room she walks into. you have made me into the person i am today and i will forever look up to you. i love you sister 🤍,” Simone Biles’ lookalike sister Adria Biles had written last year. Yes, ever since she was a child, she followed her elder sister in everything, howsoever daring it was. Together they would climb up the railing of the second floor of their house and jump off onto the couch below on the first floor. “She’d go first, and I’d follow. Nothing scared her,” Adria had recalled. Simone has returned favor for this allegiance with unconditional love.
“I wanted to take care of Adria obviously because she was the baby,” Simone recalled during an episode of her Facebook Watch series, Simone vs. Herself. “I just felt like I needed to look out for her because if family doesn’t look out for you, who’s going to?” So, when this little sister became 26 on January 27, Simone did not miss the occasion to show her love. Sharing a picture from their 2023 wedding photoshoot, Simone wrote, “Happy 26th birthday sister. I love you so much.” Little less than a month after that, it was Simone’s turn to don the birthday hat. And this time Adria returned the favor with her small but love-loaded reaction on Simone’s husband Jonathan Owens’ post.
Owens, who has been married to Simone since April 2023, made sure her 28th birthday was nothing short of special. On March 14, the NFL safety took to Instagram with a heartfelt tribute that had fans swooning. “Happy birthday to my wife, my queen, my best friend, my everything 🖤,” Owens wrote. “Being married to you is everything I could’ve ever asked for—a beautiful, funny, intelligent, and confident person that motivates me to be the best version of myself every day. I’m so blessed to have met someone as amazing as you, baby, I cherish every moment that we spend together 🫶🏽 I promise to always make this day feel special, I love you so much 🤞🏽.”
Alongside his loving words, Owens shared a collection of snapshots from their recent travels, giving fans an inside look at their adventures across Africa and Switzerland. The first set of pictures took followers straight to their safari getaway—one photo showed them in a safari vehicle, surrounded by the wild, while another captured Owens taking a picture of a lion in tall grass as Biles snapped a selfie. They even got up close with an elephant, dressed in safari-chic outfits, making memories in the heart of nature.
Simone Biles’ 28th birthday became more than just a personal milestone; it showcased the profound love and support that anchors her life. Jonathan Owens’ heartfelt message and Adria Biles’ concise yet impactful reaction highlighted the essence of familial bonds. Such displays of affection remind us of the importance of cherishing our loved ones and standing by them through every chapter of life.
