Officers who responded to a disconnected call to police on Saturday night from the marital home in Connecticut arrested the couple on disorderly conduct charges.
The incident resulted in some minor injuries, but officers did not reveal who had suffered them.
Both were released and are due to appear at Norwalk Superior Court on Monday.
New Canaan Chief of Police Leon Krolikowski told reporters that the incident resulted in some minor injuries, but both Simon and Brickell were cooperative when police arrived.
He said: "They're well known to the community, they're very nice people.
"It's unfortunate that this occurred, but we were obligated to make an arrest."

Brickell is best known for her 1988 hit song What I Am, which was released by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians.
She won a Grammy this year with comedian Steve Martin for their bluegrass song Love Has Come for You.
The couple were married in 1992 and have three children together.
