Simone Biles has broken down in tears as she bid an emotional farewell to the Texas home where she grew into adulthood.
The 29-year-old Olympic icon revealed the Texas property sold in just four days, the New York Post reports.
The 371sq m home in a gated Spring community fetched between $US1.08m and $US1.24m ($A1.7m to $A1.95m).
Taking to TikTok to share the raw, tearful milestone with millions of followers, Biles did not hold back.
“Why the f**k am I boohoo crying? F**k,” Biles said through tears as she documented the move.
“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.
“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.”

Panning her camera across the stripped, empty living areas and expansive backyard, the 11-time Olympic medallist left a heartfelt message for the incoming owners.
“Whoever buys this house, I hope it brings you as much joy as it did for me,” she said.
The quick transaction caught the champion completely off guard after listing the property with high expectations.
“I was so excited to put in air fresheners for the potential buyers and showing Jonathan the last look,” Biles captioned the video. “I just cried instead … anyone else?”
Originally listed for $US1.275m ($A2m), the four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence sits on more than 4000sq m of land.
Luxury perks include a heated backyard swimming pool, sauna, built-in dog-washing station and a custom wine cellar complete with an integrated bar fridge.

The couple first moved into the address together in 2020. They married in April 2023 after meeting on exclusive dating app Raya while Owens was playing for the Houston Texans.
Biles clarified to followers that the sale was not the couple’s newly built mega-mansion nearby.
The couple completed a massive custom-designed compound in Spring late last year following a three-year design and construction marathon.
The pair also share a home in Chicago, where Owens plays in the NFL for the Indianapolis Colts.
The property move comes just weeks after Biles revealed thieves broke into their Chicago property and stole her luxury Porsche in a terrifying home invasion.
