Gymnast Simone Biles is bouncing all over the place these days—having just returned from a sun-soaked vacation in Belize with her husband, Jonathan Owens, only to dive straight back into overseeing the construction of the couple’s custom-built mansion in their home state of Texas.
The duo have spent the past two years waiting for their lavish lakefront abode to be finished—and according to the former Olympian’s latest social media update, they are finally nearing the finish line.
Biles, 28, who wed NFL star Owens, 29, in 2023, broke ground on the project in early 2023 after purchasing a plot of lakeside land near Houston.

In the months since, the gymnast has shared several details about the incredible amenities that will be found in the home when it’s completed, including a wet bar, game room, home theater, pet spa, and multiple balconies overlooking the water.
She has also been documenting the construction progress on her social media accounts, sharing glimpses of the stunning interior, which follows a monochromatic aesthetic.
In October, she revealed that the dwelling was nearing completion, showing off several of the stunning interior decor touches that had been installed, including a dramatic black-and-white marble backsplash in the kitchen and some quirky patterned tiling in the laundry room.
Outside, her images captured the newly built swimming pool, which overlooks the lake and features a lavish spa.
The photos revealed that the swimming pool’s foundation had been laid, the structure was almost complete, and it just needed an overhaul of the surrounding space—as well as some water to fill it with.
Now, the athlete has described one key addition to the home: a front lawn.
Biles revealed her return to the U.S. from her Belize getaway by sharing an image of what appears to be the inside of the dwelling, capturing an elegant white ceiling fan and several windows.
She then posted a sweet snap of one of her beloved French bulldogs lounging in a blanket, joking that the pup needed to “wake up” because “rent is due.”
“Why did you tuck yourself in like this?” Biles added alongside the image of the snoozing hound.
From there, she ventured outside the home to showcase the lush green lawn, voicing her excitement at seeing it.
“We have grass,” she wrote, before adding a shocked screaming emoji.
In addition to the grass, the photo shows several brick plant beds that are stationed at the front of the abode and which have already been filled with an array of plants.
The white exterior and black window frames can also be seen, with a flowering tree in the background adding some vibrant color to the shot.
Though the grass may not mark the most significant progression in the homebuilding process, its arrival suggests that Biles and Owens’ opulent new dwelling is almost complete, just in time for the latter to head to Chicago for preseason training.
Owens is preparing to start his second season with the Chicago Bears, with whom he signed a two-year contract in 2024, having started his NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals in 2018, before moving to the Houston Texans, where he was playing when he and Biles began dating.
Though his football success has forced him to bounce around multiple locations over the past three years, Biles has remained his most avid supporter, regularly appearing on the sidelines of his games, more often than not sporting some custom merch made in his honor.
And it seems this season, she will take that support one step further, revealing in May that she and Owens had found a home in Chicago, where they will likely base themselves during the season.
In a post shared on her Instagram Stories at the time, Biles—who purchased her first Texas home in 2020—revealed that the couple were busy shopping for new cars for their Chicago dwelling, although she gave no details about the property itself.
“Looking at cars today for our Chicago home,” she wrote over an image of the inside of a Porsche showroom.
It is unclear if the couple have decided to put down permanent roots in the Windy City by buying a house or if they’ve opted to rent until the future of Owens’ place on the team is confirmed.
