Gymnast Simone Biles and her husband, NFL star Jonathan Owens, are still waiting for work on their custom-built lakefront Texas mansion to be finished—after more than two years of seemingly endless construction. Biles, 28, revealed on Instagram this week that work is ongoing at the sprawling abode while sharing some photos of the “minor aesthetic adjustments” that are being made to the home.
In the photos, which were posted on her Instagram Stories, several spaces in the property could be seen undergoing some fairly significant work, with scaffolding set up in one living space in front of some custom cabinets and built-ins. Another snap showed unique wooden panelling on the wall of one room, with a construction worker pictured walking along some protective coverings that have been laid down to guard the wooden flooring from damage.
In her final photo taken inside the home, Biles poked fun at her description of the work as “minor,” revealing an entertainment room that features noting but the bare bones, with wires seen sticking out of the walls and protective wooden panels covering the entire floor. Although the home appears to still require some significant work, the project does seem to be nearing completion. However, it looks as though it will not be finished by the time Owens, 30, kicks off his second season with the Chicago Bears on Sept. 8, when his team will go head-to-head with the Minnesota Vikings at Soldier Field in Illinois.
Fortunately, he and Biles have already established a home base in Chicago, where it’s thought they will live for much of the NFL season. The former Olympian revealed in May that the couple had found themselves a home in the Windy City when she announced on Instagram that they were busy shopping for a car to use while they were residing in Illinois. “Looking at cars today for our Chicago home,” she wrote over an image of the inside of a Porsche showroom.
However, Biles did not share any details about the property—nor did she reveal whether the couple has made the decision to buy a home in Chicago, or whether they are renting for the rest of the season, which is Owens’ last contracted year with the Bears. It is currently unclear whether the football pro plans to try to extend his run with the team, or whether he will enter negotiations with another NFL team in a bid to secure a new contract elsewhere. And his future is not the only one being speculated about. Biles—who boasts seven Olympic gold medals—sparked a frenzy of interest in her own sporting career recently when she hinted that she has not yet ruled out a return to gymnastics, or a bid for a place on Team USA for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
