After a blast during Simone Biles’ birthday last month, now it’s Jordan Chiles’ turn to be at the center of attention and America’s most decorated gymnast isn’t going to back off from carrying out her best friend duties! When it comes to gymnastics, there are few friendships more to make fans gush than that of Biles and Chiles.

The duo have stayed at each other’s corner through all the ups and downs and they never cease to cheer for their best friend at every possible opportunity. Taking a cue from Michael Jordan who immortalized the No. 23 throughout his legendary NBA career, Biles believes grand things are to shower her best friend with happiness.

As Chiles enters her 24th year on the blue planet, Simone can’t stay away from taking over social media to proclaim her love and admiration for her biggest support system. “happy happy birthday, hope your jordan year is everything you wished for & MORE“, wrote Biles in her latest Instagram story, and claimed that festivities to celebrate Chiles are in order.

Over the years, both Chiles and Simone have made it abundantly clear as to where they stand when it comes to their relationship beyond the sport. When Jordan seemed on the verge of letting go of her gymnastics dreams in 2018, it was Biles who stepped up to inject some more positivity into Chiles’ mentality that saw the latter make her triumphant return. And now, as the two look to meet up to celebrate Jordan’s another rotation around the sun, fans believe some explosive things are in order, especially with the Olympics looming on the horizon.

A long-lasting tryst between the Jordan Chiles and Simone Biles

When Chiles looked confused and had a tough time finding her way during darker times, it was Simone who convinced her to relocate and train alongside her in Texas. The decision proved to be pivotal in Chiles’ professional life, which culminated with a silver medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and numerous other accolades over the years. The bond that was forged in those early years of their lives continues to be the one thing that brings them back together again and again.

Last month, when the world took to social media to wish Simone Biles a happy 28th birthday, Chiles’ heartfelt note stood out as Jordan noted, “Happy birthday to my ride or die, my other half, my best friend, my partner in crime, and my big sis!“. “You always have that one person that can change your whole life. And this my friend is you“, confessed Jordan on numerous occasions, and it looks like Biles is gearing up to honor their friendship one more time!
