Olympic gymnastics legend Simone Biles experienced a wave of unexpected emotion after selling her Texas property, bidding a fond farewell to the residence where she spent six transformative years alongside her husband, professional football player Jonathan Owens. The 29-year-old decorated athlete shared her real estate journey on social media, capturing the poignant moment she reflected on the countless memories built inside the gated community home located near Spring, Texas. Biles candidly admitted to breaking down in tears while walking through the empty rooms for the final time, noting that the property served as the meaningful backdrop where she truly transitioned into adulthood. The spacious four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home, which sits on over an acre of land and features a heated backyard swimming pool, a relaxing sauna, a custom wine wall, and a dedicated dog-washing station, hit the market and swiftly secured a buyer within four days of listing.

The property was initially listed for $1.275 million following the couple’s relocation to their newly constructed custom mansion in the same Texas area, a massive project that took nearly three years of planning and construction before officially finishing in November 2025. Biles and Owens originally moved into the sold residence together in 2020, which marked the same year they first connected on a digital dating application while Owens was playing for the Houston Texans. After getting engaged in February 2022, the pair officially married in April 2023, building a dynamic life that spans multiple locations including a secondary residence in Chicago alongside Owens’ current athletic commitments with the Indianapolis Colts. Despite feeling excited to prepare the home for potential buyers by placing fresh air fresheners and conducting a final walkthrough with her husband, Biles confessed that the deep sentimental value of the past six years caught her completely by surprise as she left behind her final personal touches and offered a heartfelt public message wishing the future occupants immense joy and happiness in the space.
“Why the f–k am I boohoo crying? F–k,” Biles said through tears in a video posted to TikTok, capturing the real estate journey. “This house will be on the market for the first time and I don’t know why I’m boohoo crying. I was here for six years, and I feel like there were just so many good memories, so many bad memories.
“But I feel like I grew up in this house. It’s made me a real adult, so I’m gonna miss it. Ugh, I didn’t think I’d be emotional about a house,” she added.
“Whoever buys this house, I hope it brings you as much joy as it did for me,” she said.
Biles was surprised that the home, which she and Owens moved together into 2020, sold within days of its listing.
“I was so excited to put in air fresheners for the potential buyers & showing Jonathan the last look,” Biles captioned the video. “I just cried instead… anyone else?”
As the transaction officially closed in mid-October following a fast-moving listing period, the gymnastics champion continues adjusting to her new surroundings alongside her husband. Whether the new residents will create just as many memorable chapters in the carefully crafted Texas property is certain to unfold as Biles turns her full attention toward her ongoing athletic endeavors and her newly completed custom family home.
