Simone Biles Tells Kim Kardashian West She Wants North to Be Her ‘Mini Me’
The Fierce Five might need to make room for a sixth member.
U.S. women’s gymnastics team member Simone Biles joked that Kim Kardashian West‘s daughter North could be her “mini me,” after the reality star revealed the toddler was emulating the Olympian’s moves.
“North is watching @Simone_Biles in awe,” Kardashian West wrote on Twitter while watching the women’s gymnastics qualifiers on Sunday night. “She’s rolling around on the bed pretending to copy her lol.”
Responding Monday, Biles – who earned a spot in the all-around competition – wrote to Kardashian West of North, 3, “Aww that is just too cute! she totally needs a #gkSimone leo and she’ll be my mini me!”

The mom of two is a big fan of the champion pint-sized gymnast.

Kardashian West then shared that North had just started gymnastics, joking, “Maybe she can show you some moves?”
Luckily, those Biles leotards come in toddler sizes, so North can step into her idol’s shoes, stateside.
