Simone Biles’ Emotional Farewell: Why The Olympic Champion and Husband Jonathan Owens Just Sold Their $1.2M Texas Dream Home
“Can only imagine what else brings out the tears but sharing how soft you are is not a good look.”
Another person immediately pushed back, explaining that a house could carry emotional significance far beyond its monetary value.
“It was sad the last day I was in my parent’s house that I sold after their passing,” they wrote. “It held many family memories, but it was a NYC house that would no longer serve our family.”
Other critics focused less on the tears themselves and more on Biles’ privileged circumstances. For instance, one commenter brought up the lengthy approval process for the couple’s new home.
“Her newly finished home in the same area took a year to be approved because deed restrictions apply to everyone in the community,” they wrote.
“Their sense of entitlement was rejected.”
Biles was not talking about the custom mansion she and Owens recently finished
Part of the confusion surrounding the video came from viewers assuming Biles was leaving the custom-built mansion she had spent years documenting online.
She clarified in the comments that this was a different property.
Biles and Owens began planning their new Spring home in 2020.
The design process took more than a year, after which the couple had to wait for homeowner association approval before construction could begin in February 2022.
Work on the property ultimately stretched across nearly three years.
The mansion was finally completed on November 11, 2025.
That meant the house Biles tearfully said goodbye to had effectively served as her home while the much larger custom property slowly took shape.
For Biles, the timing also helps explain why she described the older property as the place where she “grew up,” as she had moved into it around the same time her relationship with Owens was beginning.
“Valid emotions,” a fan wrote
