Simone Biles says a car theft at her Chicago home pushed her and Jonathan Owens to bring a Doberman into the house for protection.
On TikTok this week, the Olympic gold medalist said three masked men stole her Porsche during the final months she and Owens were living in Chicago. In the Monday, Sept. 21, clip, Biles said, "Feel like I need a new car because during our last few months in Chicago, three men in mask[s] came to our house and stole my Porsche," Biles said. "Stole the GTS."
She added, "But that's another story. If you guys wanna know, I'll do a 'storytime' on that.
I feel like I need a reality TV show. The things that happen to me are absolutely insanity.
And so it would be really easy for producers to just film regularly."
Biles said the theft was "one of the reasons" she and Owens decided to get their Doberman Pinscher, Remi. She did not offer more details about what happened, but said the car was recovered and that she and Owens were "onto the next."
While she was talking through the incident on social media, Biles was also in the middle of shopping for a replacement vehicle. She said she had planned to check out Porsche, Audi and Lamborghini dealerships, but the search ended at Porsche.
"Then we went over to Porsche. They had Cayenne GTS, and, baby, when they turn that thing on, I was sold.
I felt like Tiffany Haddish from 'Girls Trip,'" Biles said. "'Give it to me, I want it.
Give it to me.' So, we never even made it to Lambo."
Biles also said she plans to officially move to the Indianapolis area later, following Owens, who plays for the Colts. In an early-September People magazine interview, she said, "I’ve been in Houston most of the time, so I’m going to officially move there (to Indianapolis) a little bit later," Biles said.
"So I haven’t experienced too much, but the stadium is stunning. It’s beautiful.
I’m just excited to watch my husband.
"It doesn’t matter, as long as he’s safe and healthy and he’s having fun, then I don’t care."

Ashton Porter Is Becoming A Huge Measuring Stick For Houston's Defense
Through three games, Ashton Porter has already become one of the more revealing pieces in Houstons defensive front. Opponents have been keying on him with double- and triple-teams, a sign of how quickly he has started to draw attention, and he has still found ways to make an impact with two pass breakups and a sack.
Porters next step is less about effort than refinement, especially in how he works his pass-rush plan against veteran linemen. He has talked about sharpening his counter moves and getting better at escaping double teams, which makes the coming weeks important for a player who has flashed promise but still needs more live reps to round out his game.

Houston Heads Into A Week 4 Reunion Georgia Southern Fans Will Feel
Houstons trip to Statesboro for a Week 4 road game carries a little more personal history than a normal nonconference stop. It will be the Cougars first visit there, but the backdrop is familiar enough for both sidelines to make the matchup feel a bit like a reunion, with Willie Fritz returning to the place where he once coached and Clay Helton leading Georgia Southern as a Houston alumnus with family ties to the program.
There is even a shared thread under center, where starting quarterbacks Conner Weigman and Max Johnson arrive with their own connection from their Texas A&M days. It gives the game a layer of familiarity beyond the usual early-season scouting, and for Houston it adds a chance to measure itself in a setting where the relationships run deeper than the scoreboard.

Houston Faces A Dangerous Spot It Can't Afford To Waste
Week 4 in the Big 12 brings a little more clarity and a little more danger, and Houston is right in the middle of that squeeze. The league has already started to separate into teams trying to build momentum and others trying to keep from slipping behind, with road tests and tricky matchups shaping the conversation around the conference. For the Cougars, a trip to face Georgia Southern is the kind of game that can sharpen a teams identity or expose how far there still is to go.
Houstons interest here is bigger than one nonconference stop, because these are the weeks that can quietly define a season before league play fully takes over. Around the Big 12, Colorado is dealing with roster turnover under Deion Sanders, Utah is headed into a demanding check against Iowa State, and Cincinnati faces a rough run of games, while Oklahoma State and West Virginia linger as possible dark horses. Houston cannot afford to treat this one like a routine trip, because in a crowded league, wasting a winnable road spot can echo for a long time. [Read more 🡒]
