Gymnastics champion Simone Biles has shared an emotional farewell to the luxurious Texas home where she lived with her NFL star husband, Jonathan Owens.
The seven-time Olympic gold medallist revealed the couple sold the property in just four days of it hitting the market, having listed it for $US1.275 million ($2.48 million).
“Why the f— am I boohoo crying?” Biles said while breaking down in a video shared with her 5.6 million TikTok followers.
“This house will be on the market for the first time, and I don’t know why I’m boohoo crying.”
The 29-year-old spoke about six years living in the home, which she bought in 2020, the year she met Ownes.
“I feel like there were just so many good memories, so many bad memories, but I feel like I grew up in this house, like this made me a real adult,” she said.
The four-bedroom home is in Spring, which is north of Houston and it sits on more than 4000 square metres of land inside of a gated community.
It features two main bedroom suites, a media room, study, wine wall and sauna.
Outside, there is a heated swimming pool, spa, outdoor entertaining area and a three-car garage.
The property sold on October 15 for between $US1.08 million and $US1.24 million ($1.53 million to $1.76 million), according to the Houston Association of Realtors.
Biles confessed she had planned to get the home ready for prospective buyers when the thought of leaving made her emotional.
“I was so excited to put in air fresheners for the potential buyers and showing Jonathan the last look,” she wrote alongside the video.
“I just cried instead… anyone else?”
The gymnast also had a message for whoever would go on to call the property home.
“Whoever buys this house, I hope it brings you as much joy as it did for me.”
The couple have also spent years constructing a custom-designed waterfront home nearby, which includes a swimming pool, basketball court, in-ground trampoline and outdoor kitchen.
The couple married in April 2023, three years after meeting on the dating app Raya.
Owens, who previously played for the Chicago Bears, joined the Indianapolis Colts earlier this year, with Biles also reportedly planning to relocate to Indiana.
