Simone Biles divorced Jonathan Owens after many arguments over property issues

In a surprising turn of events, Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles has officially filed for divorce from NFL player Jonathan Owens, following months of escalating tension — much of it reportedly rooted in disagreements over property and financial matters.

The couple, once hailed as a power duo blending athletic excellence and genuine affection, tied the knot in 2023 after a whirlwind romance that blossomed during the pandemic. Their wedding, which featured heartfelt vows and intimate moments shared on social media, painted a picture of lasting love. However, beneath the surface, sources say growing differences around money management and real estate investments slowly unraveled the bond they had once cherished.

Clashing Over Property and Priorities

According to individuals close to the couple, the friction began when the two tried to combine their financial lives post-marriage. While Biles had built a fortune through endorsements, competitions, and brand deals, Owens, too, had his own financial standing as a professional football player. But their differing views on how to handle wealth — particularly around shared and individual assets — became a recurring issue.

One major point of contention centered on a luxury home the couple purchased shortly after their wedding. Biles reportedly saw the home as a family nest — a space to build their future together. Owens, on the other hand, viewed it more as an investment opportunity. He allegedly pushed for decisions like renting it out, flipping it for profit, or using it as collateral for further business ventures. These disagreements soon snowballed into larger arguments that spread into other areas of their relationship.

Attempts to Reconcile

Friends say the couple tried couples counseling and even spent time apart to reassess their priorities. “They really did love each other, but they were in different places mentally and emotionally — and those property fights just made things worse,” said a source close to Biles.

Despite their efforts, tensions remained unresolved. Legal advisors were brought in to mediate property disputes, and discussions reportedly turned tense when determining who would keep certain high-value assets, including shared investments, vehicles, and future real estate rights.

A Private Yet Painful Split

On June 20, Biles confirmed the split via a quiet Instagram story, saying: “Some endings are quiet. But they still hold weight. I wish Jonathan nothing but peace and happiness.” Owens has not publicly commented, though sources suggest the divorce is being handled amicably with mutual legal teams involved to ensure fairness.

Fans have expressed sadness over the split, especially after watching the couple support each other through career highs and personal milestones. However, many are also rallying behind Biles, praising her for putting her peace and priorities first.

As the legal proceedings move forward, it remains unclear how the couple’s assets will be divided. Both parties have signed confidentiality agreements, but experts speculate that a prenup may have helped ease the more complex financial aspects of the separation.

Moving Forward

For now, Biles is reportedly focused on training for upcoming gymnastics events and staying close to family. “She’s disappointed, of course,” another source shared, “but Simone is resilient. She’s choosing herself, and she’s not looking back.”
