Life has been anything but quiet lately for Olympic icon Simone Biles and her NFL husband Jonathan Owens.
Just as the couple prepares for a fresh chapter in their brand-new Texas mansion, Owens found himself caught up in a heated scuffle at Chicago Bears training camp—making headlines for more than just touchdowns.
Things Got Heated on the Field Between Teammates
During a Tuesday practice session at the Bears’ training camp, tensions ran high when Jonathan Owens—who plays safety for the team—got into a physical altercation with running back Roschon Johnson.
According to insiders, the drama started after Owens attempted a “late peanut punch”—a classic defensive move to knock the ball out of an opponent’s hands.
Apparently not thrilled with the timing, Johnson fired the ball back at Owens in frustration.
Things escalated quickly from there. Owens responded by tackling Johnson to the turf, prompting teammates and coaches to rush in and separate the two.
Johnson Keeps It Cool in Post-Fight Interview
Later, when reporters caught up with Johnson to get the lowdown, he brushed off the incident like it was no big deal.
“That’s just camp,” he said casually. “It gets competitive out there.
That’s football for you. When you’re pushing hard at this level, sometimes it spills over.”
Johnson’s calm reaction reflects a broader trend—this isn’t the first dust-up during preseason training.
Other NFL teams, including the Steelers and Patriots, have also had teammates clash during high-intensity sessions.
Off the Field, Owens and Biles Reveal a Life Update
While Owens deals with football friction, his personal life with Simone Biles continues to move forward—literally.
The power couple recently shared that they’re settling into their custom-built dream home in Texas.
Earlier this year, Biles posted adorable photos of their dogs enjoying the spacious property, giving fans a peek into their happy home life beyond the spotlight.
Simone Biles Steps Into Controversy, Then Steps Back
But not all of Biles’ headlines lately have been warm and fuzzy.
The Olympic gold medalist stirred up controversy online after taking a jab at former college swimmer and conservative commentator Riley Gaines.
Gaines, who’s become a vocal critic of trans athletes competing in women’s sports, had just slammed a Minnesota girls’ softball team for allowing a trans pitcher to play.
Gaines has also led the charge against 16-year-old AB Hernandez, who recently won gold in high jump and triple jump events at a California state championship—while parents of competing athletes protested her eligibility.
Biles Responds With Heat, Then With Grace
Clearly frustrated, Biles clapped back at Gaines’ remarks in a now-viral post, calling her stance “sick” and going so far as to say she should “bully someone your own size—which would ironically be male.”
But after four days of silence, Biles took a more measured tone, issuing a thoughtful apology via X (formerly Twitter).
“I’ve always believed competitive equity and inclusivity are both essential in sport,” she wrote.
“The current system doesn’t balance those well, which leads to frustration and heated exchanges. I shouldn’t have gotten personal, and I apologize to Riley.”
Gaines Accepts the Apology Without Losing Her Stance
Riley Gaines responded with unexpected grace, accepting Biles’ apology despite the initial personal attack.
“I accept Simone’s apology for the body-shaming and personal comments,” she said. “She’s still the greatest female gymnast of all time.”
But Gaines didn’t back down from her position. “Sports are inclusive by nature,” she wrote.
“Everyone should have the chance to play. That doesn’t mean we ignore biological differences in competitive fairness.”
Fame, Family, and Fireworks
Between NFL brawls, home-building milestones, and navigating public debates about fairness in sports, it’s clear that Jonathan Owens and Simone Biles are juggling a lot more than just their careers.
Whether on the football field or on social media, the couple remains front and center in conversations about competition, identity, and what it means to be in the public eye.
