Simone Biles and her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, have sold their home in Spring, Texas, near Houston, for an estimated $1.08 million to $1.24 million.

Why did Simone Biles sell her house?

In the comments section of her TikTok, Simone Biles, the Olympic gold medalist, replied to a few followers who asked why she decided to sell her house, clarifying that this home is different from the one she recently built with her husband, Indianapolis Colts safety Jonathan Owens. She and her husband built a custom Texas dream home after years of planning and construction.

An emotional Simone Biles opened up about selling her Houston-area home in a TikTok. The Olympic gymnast said the home sold within four days of going on the market. She even broke down in tears as she explained her attachment to the place she says gave her "so many good memories" over the past six years.

"Today is the first day the house is going to be on the market," Biles, 29, said as tears rolled down her face in a clip filmed before the property sold. "Why the f--- am I boohoo crying? F---. 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," she continued. "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."

Simone Biles was seen wearing black tank top and matching baseball cap in the clip, then panned around the empty space. She showed off the backyard, which features a pool and various rooms in the house without furniture.
