They may get mistaken for twins, but Adria Biles is actually the younger sister of Olympian Simone Biles.

The 25-year-old grew up competing in gymnastics, just like her older sister — whom Adria has dubbed “fearless,” per a 2016 op-ed for ESPN. The pair are very close, especially because Simone, 27, acted as a sort of surrogate guardian when they were in foster care, before being adopted by their grandparents.

After leaving gymnastics, she secured a spot on the Houston Astros' professional dancing team, The Shooting Stars. She also famously appeared on the first season of reality TV competition series Claim to Fame — which premiered in July 2022 — going by her middle name, Louise.

Contestants quickly figured out who she was, seeing as she looks so much like Simone, but they kept her around until about the midway point, because everyone liked her.

Ever the supportive sister, Adria has been seen cheering on her big sister from the stands at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.
