Olympian Simone Biles and NFL pro Jonathan Owens are providing a sneak peek into their mansion-building journey and it's not without its grandeur or headaches. According to the Houston Chronicle, their waterfront home in Texas has been in the works since December 2022, and fans have been privy to regular updates, including lot clearing, foundational developments, and the hard-to-miss frustration that comes with constructing a dream home. "I. AM. OBSESSED," Biles has boldly claimed in a recent Instagram story showcasing the expansive woodwork of what will be her walk-in closet.
A $2 million Houston home is where the couple currently rests their heads, but the Texas natives have decided to substantially upsize. Their newest estate, whose construction began in last year's scorching August heat, has entered its sixth meticulous month. Despite the occasional hiccup—like spending a six-hour stint at the site due to unforeseen difficulties—Biles's recent Instagram updates, detailed by the Daily Mail, exhibit a sense of awe, especially with Owens playfully taking in the grandeur of the construction.
The ambitious project comes to life through Biles's posts, including a panoramic waterfront view and tantalizing glimpses of stonework that Biles gushed over: "(T)his stone is EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!" as per her post. The eventual vision includes high ceilings and ample open spaces with the kitchen alone featuring lofty wood cabinets and sizable windows to let the natural light cascade in.
But the path to paradise has been strewn with challenges. Biles once vented her exasperation on Instagram after a taxing day that saw her trying to mitigate an unsightly yellow stain marring the grout: "I cannot deal anymore," accompanied by a visual symphony of six angry emojis, the Houston Chronicle reports. Such grievances didn't seem to halt progress as Owens recently was captured standing in what will become an imposing entrance, stretching his arms wide to emphasize the sheer scale of their new abode.
Specifics, like the home's completion date or its exact locale, remain as elusive as a perfect dismount, but what's crystal clear is the couple's dedication to see this project through. Fans eagerly await the final reveal, ready to vicariously step into the opulence that an Olympian's hard work can afford.
