After an incredibly successful Paris Olympics campaign, Simone Biles decided to embark on her second Gold Over America tour. Now, after numerous successful shows in major cities, which earned a lot of praise among the audience, she made her way to Texas, her hometown, in the middle of October. She had three shows in the state, which were all met with critical acclaim. Now, as she moves to the next leg in her tour, Simone Biles gave fans a vital update on her personal life.

It seems like Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens might be moving to a new house soon. The gymnast was in Houston this week for her Gold Over America Tour performance. As the city is Simone’s hometown, she uploaded numerous Instagram stories of it. One of them involved their new accommodation, which is still under construction. In this story, the Olympic gold medalist showed photos of the house, which seems to have almost completed its development.

She captioned the story with, “Obviously had to check on the progress of the new house.” This made Jonathan Owens reply to this in his own Instagram story, saying, “The crib!!! Coming along.” Thus, both of them seem very proud of the mansion they are about to live in, which is said to be worth about $3 million.

In the series, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are seen visiting their yet-to-be built mansion in Texas. It was a rainy day, and the couple was discussing vividly how they plan to decorate their house once it is built. A suggestion that stood out came from Jonathan Owens, who said that they must build a corner inside the house.

This will be used to hang all the leotards and jerseys the sporting duo wears during their careers, as each of them holds a special significance. This idea by Jonathan only shows how passionate he is about the project, as he must have thought about it a lot ever since the couple bought the house after their engagement.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens bought this house to live there as a married couple. When they first bought it, the whole place was just a marshy land. But a long time has passed since then, and the mansion has almost been fully constructed for both of them to move in soon. Estimated to be worth around $3 million, the house is expected to feature numerous luxurious amenities. This includes a game room, a wet bar, a theater, and balconies with a great view.

Thus, the whole house is a very appropriate area for a legendary gymnast like Simone Biles to live. However, many might question their move to Texas, considering Jonathan Owens still plays for the Chicago Bears, whose home city is very far from their property. But Simone has a soft spot for her hometown, where she grew up with her parents, Ronald and Nellie.

In fact, this is not the first time that the gymnast has invested in a property in the state. She first bought a house in 2018 for about $375,000, which was a cozy three-bedroom construction with a kitchen, pantry, coffered ceilings, and a two-car garage. However, she ended up selling the place later to a family member for an undisclosed amount.

Simone Biles would buy another property in 2021 before finally settling into this mansion. Despite admitting that she was facing difficulties envisioning the construction of the place, the gymnast now seems happy with the place, which she might move into within the next year. Hopefully, this new abode will bring even more success to her.
