Jonathan Owens, the husband of gymnastics star Simone Biles, recently made headlines during a training camp for the Chicago Bears due to an altercation with his teammate, Roschon Johnson. The incident escalated after Owens attempted a “late peanut punch” during practice, prompting Johnson to throw a ball at him in response. The situation quickly heated up as Owens tackled Johnson to the ground before coaches intervened to restore order.
Following the incident, Johnson minimized the scuffle during a press conference, stating, “That’s just camp. Getting competitive, that’s all it was.” He emphasized that such moments are common in a high-intensity environment like football, where competitiveness reigns.
The training camp environment has seen its fair share of brawls recently, including an altercation between players from the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams during a joint practice, which even left head coach Mike Vrabel bloodied while attempting to mediate.
In other news, Owens and Biles, who tied the knot in 2023, have recently moved into a custom-built mansion in Texas. Biles has been sharing glimpses of their life together, including playful moments with their dogs and a fun getaway with friends in the Caribbean. Their strong bond was highlighted when Owens made a playful comment on Biles’ Instagram post featuring her in a bikini, expressing his eagerness for her to return home.
Amid the pressures of NFL training and public life, the couple appears to maintain a light-hearted and loving relationship, which is a refreshing sight in the often intense world of sports.
