They are just the best dogs and they make me so happy, and they’re my fur babies.” That’s how Simone Biles gushed about her pups, Lilo and Rambo. Gold medals? Sure. Record-breaking routines? Absolutely. But in her downtime, the most decorated gymnast in history isn’t flipping through vaults—she’s cuddling with her canines. The Olympic GOAT has long shared snippets of her mom life, and fans seem to love every bit of it. Yet here’s the plot twist—Simone might not be the only animal lover stealing hearts in the Biles household. In fact, her sister just might be stepping into the pet-parent spotlight in a purr-fectly unexpected way. But who is she… And what did she just reveal?

Adria Biles just entered the chat with flair and fashion. But unlike her sister Simone, she is more of a cat mom. On her Instagram story this week, Adria gave fans a first look at a tiny, fluffy gray kitten snuggled gently in her hands. The caption? A mixture of excitement and indecision: “taking name suggestions!!!” “something cutie and unique! he’s a BOY!!” “it’s currently ‘Ash’ but I’m not married to it.

Well, the background suggested the kind you see at a vet’s office or adoption center. It looked like the photo was taken right after the adoption. Adria was smiling as she held the kitten close, clearly happy and a little overwhelmed. The post felt warm, honest, and full of first-time pet parent energy. Then came the final call that has us talking: “!!!help!!!”

But this wasn’t the first sign of her soft spot for animals. Just a few days before, Adria had shared another story—this time holding her light-colored puppy. In that post, she wrote, “I’m so scared to have kids bc it’s possible to love something more than this????????” Puppy looked beyond happy, mouth open, tail probably wagging, soaking up all the love. And Simone’s sister Adria was clearly feeling it.

She followed that post with something many pet parents secretly feel, “I have such bad cute aggression I wanna str**gle her.” Then added, “Ugh I love herrrrrrrr.” It was funny, relatable, and showed just how much these animals mean to her.

Simone Biles and Adria Biles used to share pets

Growing up, Simone Biles and her sister Adria weren’t just flipping through routine work. They were racing around their house with four German Shepherds who meant the world to them. Their first dog, Maggie, came after Simone won a bet with their father following her Level 9 Westerns. That bet brought more than just a furry friend—it brought a whole pack. Maggie had three puppies: Lily, Atlas, and Bella.

In her book Courage to Soar, Simone shared, “When we come home, Adria and I will change into shorts and race around the house with our four German shepherds, whose doggie beds are lined up in the hallway right outside my bedroom door. There’s Maggie, the dog we got after my level nine Westerns, and then there are her puppies Lily, Atlas, and Bella, who were bred at the same farm where we found Maggie.”

Those memories stuck. And today, Simone is a proud dog mom of two French bulldogs, Lilo and Rambo. On the other side, Adria’s ready to start her own chapter—with a kitten and a whole lot of love.
