Is Simone Biles setting a new standard for athletes by excelling in both personal and professional arenas?

Simone Biles always takes the spotlight wherever she goes. At the 2024 Summer Olympics, the gymnast walked away with 4 Olympic medals. Upon her return, she shifted her focus to her next challenge – building a nest for herself and her husband, Jonathan Owens. The 27-year-old has never shied away from sharing a slice of her life with her fans. In September 2023, she revealed that the duo will be building their dream home on a lakefront property in Texas.

However, the Olympian is juggling this with the ongoing Gold Over America Tour currently. In a casual sit-down interview with her BFF, Jordan Chiles, the gymnasts play a fun little game called the G.O.A.T’s G.O.A.T. During the game, the 27-year-old was asked what the G.O.A.T. of her for you page wasSimone Biles stated, Me and my husband are building a house, so I like watching like decorating houses, the process.” 

Is that where the 11x Olympic medalist gets her ideas? Even though she’s currently on the road, her dream house is still on her mind. But that’s not as surprising. Throughout this journey, the gymnast hasn’t been able to contain her excitement about the progress. She periodically shares updates with fans on her Instagram stories.

Shortly after her return from a triumphant third berth in Paris, the 27-year-old was back to house-building mode. So excited to make this house a HOME…a couple more months :),” The Olympian notified her fans. She shared images of their almost finished kitchen with sleek counters, stylish light fixtures, newly installed white cabinets, and more. What will their lavish abode showcase, you ask?

Along with a theater, game room, and a wet bar, the house also has several balconies with a view of the water. In September, Simone Biles shared images of a stunning bathroom in a carousel post captioned, “incase you missed it.” The bathroom has gorgeous black and white marble walls, a tub inside their walk-in shower, a frosted window, brass fixtures, and more. One of the rooms in their house also features a mirrored ceiling. But while all this is underway, what else does the G.O.A.T. have on her plate?

Have an interesting take?

Back in 2019, the Olympian had a vision—a vision that went beyond the gymnastics mat. She dreamed of blending the thrill of entertainment with the beauty of gymnastics, aiming to inspire a whole new generation of athletes. That dream gave birth to the Gold Over America Tour. After a stunning debut in 2021, the tour is finally back, thrilling audiences again after a three-year wait!

The 2024 edition launched in Oceanside, California on September 16 and will wrap up in Detroit, Michigan on November 3. This star-studded spectacle features gymnastics icons like Jordan Chiles, Brody Malone, Katelyn Ohashi, and more, transforming the sport into a celebration of talent and artistry. When asked about the essence of the show, Simone Biles kept it simple yet profound: “It’s really about sharing that love and passion for the sport with the audience.”

Since its kickoff, the G.O.A.T. herself has already dazzled in 13 cities across the U.S., with audiences calling it a phenomenal success. Parents and fans alike have been raving about the tour, describing it as a transformative experience that ignites a love for gymnastics in young hearts. So, where is the magic headed next? Tonight, they take center stage at the iconic Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Known for hosting the New York Liberty and Brooklyn Nets, Barclays has been praised for its awe-inspiring features, and now it’s set to host a different kind of magic—one that soars, tumbles, and flips in ways only these world-class gymnasts can deliver.

And even as Simone Biles navigates the demanding pop-concert-style tour, she’s juggling another role—project manager of her own house-building adventure. With her husband, Jonathan Owens, deep in his NFL commitments, the couple is managing the challenge of long-distance life. But no doubt, amidst it all, they’re swapping home decor ideas, filling the distance with plans and dreams for their future shared space. Between breathtaking stunts on stage and building a life together, Simone is proving that her balancing act isn’t limited to the beam.
