Last year, around Thanksgiving celebrations, Simone Biles’s brother and sister-in-law, Ron and Sammi Biles, welcomed their first baby girl Ronni Louise Biles. Since the first time Aunt Simone took Baby Biles in her arms, the two bonded for life. So much so, that now whenever Ronni spots her gymnast aunt, her eyes light up immediately.

A few hours ago, sister-in-law, Sammi Biles took to her Instagram story to share a heartwarming reaction of Baby Biles on spotting the Olympic gymnast at her local Target. But here’s the clincher – Aunt Simone, wasn’t really there.

Ronni Biles could not stop smiling on seeing Simone Biles

According to their Instagram story, couple Ron and Sammi took Baby Biles grocery shopping at Target. During their expedition in the store, they spotted Simone Biles on the box of a cereal brand, Wheaties. The boxes had a spectacular gymnastic image of the four-time Olympic gold medalist. The excited couple picked one of them and showed it to their baby girl saying, “Who’s that, TT?”

On spotting her aunt, Ronni began blushing and smiling adorably. She extended her hand to touch the cover and caress Simone’s picture, and went on to give the box a warm hug. Sammi Biles described her child’s priceless reaction in her story with the caption, “When ronni sees aunt TT @simonebiles on the @wheatiescereal box @target wait for it”

The Wheaties Box shown in the story is Simone’s second collaboration with the brand under the tagline, “Breakfast of Champions.” Wheaties continued its tradition of featuring prominent athletes on the cover of its cereal boxes, by signing up the gymnast to celebrate her success in the sports world, and her advocacy in the mental health sector. Biles struck her first limited-edition deal with the brand in 2022.

Just like Baby Biles, Aunt Simone gets equally excited whenever she is reunited with her precious niece, a glimpse of which was seen days after her wedding to NFL safety Jonathan Owens.

Simone Biles and Baby Biles’s heartwarming moment spotted

Ronni and her parents could not attend the gymnast’s gala wedding in Mexico on May 5. Hence, the wedding nuptials kept Simone Biles away from her niece for a couple of days. However, a week after the wedding, when Simone met Ronni, the duo was over the moon.

In her Snapchat story, the newlywed was seen finally holding her precious niece in her arms again. Ronni was sitting on her aunt’s lap while both of them looked at each other smiling, uninterruptedly. Baby Biles wore a tiny blue dress and a big yellow bow on her head, looking absolutely charming. The happiness on Simone’s face for reuniting with Baby Biles, was no less than the joy on her wedding day.

It was on 29th November last year that Simone Biles first introduced her adorable little niece to the world. Posting several pictures, from her holding Ronni in her arms to juxtaposing the little one’s tiny fingers with her own, Biles couldn’t contain her love. She wrote in her post back then, “my precious little niece made her debut Friday, im so proud to be your TT & so excited to spoil you.”

This started a spree of pictures on the gymnast’s social media where Ronni is now a regular star. From Easter to birthdays to the grand celebration that was Biles’s wedding, Baby Biles and Aunt Simone have remained the apples of each other’s eye.
