Simone Biles' Fans Are 'Tearing Up' Over Heartfelt Tribute and Childhood Throwback Photo From Her Sister
Simone Biles may have 11 Olympic medals now, but it's the unwavering support from her family that makes her a real winner.
The 27-year-old gymnastics G.O.A.T. has been soaking up the glory since winning three gold medals, plus one silver, at the Summer 2024 Olympics, and among those who have been cheering her on over the past couple of weeks is her younger sister, Adria.
Adria, 25, took to Instagram this week to share her adoration for Simone following her successful run at the Paris Games—and the post has many fans welling up with tears.
Sharing an adorable throwback photo from when they were just little girls, Adria penned a heartfelt tribute to her record-breaking big sis, who she says she will always "look up to."
"the little girl in me would look for you in every single room she walks into," Adria captioned the photo posted to Instagram on Wednesday, Aug. 7. She added to her older sister, "You have made me into the person i am today and i will forever look up to you."
"i love you sister ??," she ended the sweet post.
Adria, who also grew up as a gymnast, was in the crowd to watch Simone at the Paris Olympics, alongside their parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles, plus Simone's husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens.
Simone replied to Adria's post on Wednesday by leaving three pink heart emojis in the comments, while other users on Instagram couldn't help but get emotional over Adria's tribute.
"???? excuse me while I go sob," one user wrote, while someone else quipped, "I’m not crying; you’re crying!! ??."
"As an older sister with a younger sister, I am tearing up at this caption," another follower commented.
"You supporting each other through everything is everything ??????," someone else wrote.
