Simone Biles is making a new Porsche purchase after a burglary at her Chicago home left her without the one she said was stolen by three masked men.
On a TikTok video posted Monday, Sept. 21, 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 her husband, Indianapolis Colts safety Jonathan Owens, decided to get their Doberman Pinscher, Remi, for protection.
She did not go into more detail about the incident, but said she and Owens got the vehicle back and were "onto the next." She was speaking on social media while getting ready to pick up a replacement car.
Biles said she had considered several luxury brands before landing on a Porsche again. She mentioned Audi and Lamborghini among the options, but said the choice became easy once she saw the Cayenne GTS 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 confirmed she plans to officially move to the Indianapolis area later to be closer to Owens, who plays for the Colts.
"I’ve been in Houston most of the time, so I’m going to officially move there (to Indianapolis) a little bit later," she told People magazine early in September. "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."

Illinois Just Put Itself In The Mix For An Elite Forward
Benjamin Berrouets recruitment is already shaping up to be one of the more intriguing ones on Illinois radar, and the 2028 five-star forward has now set official visits this fall with the Illini, Kentucky and UCLA. A consensus high-level prospect, Berrouet sits No. 21 overall and No. 2 among power forwards in the Class of 2028, and his rise has been fueled by strong showings both in EYBL play and on the international stage.
For Illinois, simply getting into that group matters, because Berrouet is the kind of frontcourt talent programs build around. He has already backed up the ranking with production against elite competition and added another layer to his rsum by earning MVP honors at the U16 EuroBasket, so the visits will give each school a chance to make its case before the race tightens even further.

Illinois Is Selling Top Recruits On A Bigger Role In Champaign
Brad Underwood has built Illinois around an offense that asks players to do more than fit neatly into one spot on the floor. The system leans on versatility and fluidity, giving guards and forwards room to use their full skill sets instead of being boxed into traditional roles, and that approach has become a clear selling point as top recruits keep making their way to Champaign.
Several five-star visitors have come away impressed not just by the scheme, but by the way Illinois handles player development. It is a pitch that has helped fuel the programs recent success, and it has given the Illini a reputation as a place where elite talent can see a bigger role sooner rather than later. [Read more 🡒]
Illinois Passing Game Has A Collin Dixon Problem
Illinois has found a clear go-to option in Collin Dixon, and the production has been hard to miss. He has piled up seven touchdowns and 367 yards this season, and his recent scoring stretch even set a single-season receiving touchdown record at Gies Memorial Stadium, the kind of mark that underscores how central he has become to the passing game.
Katin Housers turnover picture tells the other side of the story. Both of his interceptions this season have come on throws intended for Dixon, a reminder that the Illini may be leaning on one target a little too heavily as tougher defenses loom. Spreading the ball around more effectively could make the offense harder to predict and help reduce the mistakes that can stall drives against better opponents. [Read more 🡒]
