Simone Biles is looking back at some unexpected turbulence from her time in the Windy City — and the surprising life changes that came out of it.

In a recent TikTok video, the legendary Olympic gymnast recounted a scary incident that occurred during the final months she and her husband, NFL safety Jonathan Owens, were living in the Chicago area. According to Biles, a trio of masked individuals targeted their residence and made off with her high-performance Porsche GTS.

While law enforcement managed to track down and recover the luxury vehicle, the multi-gold medalist decided she was ready to move on. She recently shared snippets of her car-shopping adventures on social media, including a look at luxury options like a Lamborghini.

Dealing with the aftermath of a stolen ride wasn’t the only major household adjustment sparked by the ordeal. While Biles kept the full details of the break-in largely under wraps — promising her followers that it is “a story for another time” — she joked that her chaotic life often plays out like a full-blown reality television series.

More importantly, the security breach prompted a different kind of home addition to step up daily protection. Explaining how the household adapted to the scare, she shared, “That’s one of the reasons we got our Doberman,” bringing home the protective dog to watch over her and Owens.

Fans immediately flooded her social media channels with comments expressing relief that the couple was completely unharmed, while cheering on their sweet new addition to their family.

The high-profile couple has since fully transitioned from their Chicago chapter following Owens’ free-agent move to the Indianapolis Colts and are currently living in Texas.

Biles has a packed calendar as she headlines the nationwide Gold Over America Tour, but the gymnast is proving that even the most stressful curveballs can lead to happy new beginnings and a good new watchdog.
