America's new Royal Couple made their debut at the September 24th Kansas City Chiefs game, and Swifties and football fans alike are still wrapping their head around the news. So how did this seemingly random pairing come to be?
Kelce made the first move, bringing a friendship bracelet with his digits to the singer's LA concert—but he didn't get to give it to her, so he went on to make a public declaration of his intentions on his podcast with his brother, "New Heights." He invited Swift to the stadium in which she had just performed to a sold-out crowd a few weeks prior, telling her, "I've seen her rock a stage in Arrowhead and she might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead."
And boy, did she show up and show out! She sat with Kelce's mom, cheered him on the whole game, and cameras caught them leaving the game together afterward. Tay even ditched her security and rode in her new man's getaway car convertible.

The NFL star celebrated his 10th anniversary with long-time love Brittany Matthews by getting married in 2022. Matthews had marked the occasion 3 years before on Instagram with a cute picture of the two and a caption that addressed the big elephant in the room: “To everyone that’s gonna ask when we are getting married, the answer is whenever we want.” - And so they did.
They have two pit bulls together named Steel and Silver.
Matthews was an athlete in college as well and graduated with a degree in kinesiology. She now works as a personal trainer, and Mahomes even credits her with helping him decrease his body fat to below 10%.
Patrick and Brittany were engaged since September 2020. They were high school sweethearts and have been together ever since. They now have a baby girl together born in February 2021.
Ciara's husband Russell Wilson is a match made in heaven. The power couple co-owns the Seattle Sounders Soccer Team. Wilson and Ciara started making headlines when they attended the 2015 White House State Dinner together.
They had a short, four-month engagement before getting married in 2016. The reason why they rushed to the altar might shock you…
The pair took a vow of celibacy until marriage. Then, just three months after their wedding, the singer announced her pregnancy. Wilson and Ciara tied the knot on July 6, 2016, at a castle in England after getting engaged in March of that year.
Sounds like it didn’t take them too long to figure out what to do because the couple has welcomed two children into the world since tying the knot.
Trevor Lawrence and Marissa Mowry got together before Lawrence even began his NFL career. The story is actually pretty sweet. The two have been together for years. They even took their high school senior pictures together! Then, it came to proposing, and there was no better place than the stadium.
However, the pair have a concern. Lawrence stated that they were worried it would ruin their $3 tradition. What is it? Well, the $3 tradition is where the pair go bowling for $3 games at the bowling alley in Greensville, South Carolina. It was a cheap date for them as they navigated their college relationship.
Mowry is an athlete herself. She played soccer in South Carolina for Anderson University — where the pair met. They aren’t shy about posting tons of pictures together, so Mowry naturally posted an emotional message soon after Lawrence proposed. It read…
“When I sat down and thought about our engagement day I just got overwhelmed with thankfulness that 1) I get to marry my best friend 2) He had the most detailed, sweet proposal planned 3) I have so many amazing friends who celebrated us all weekend and received so much love from everyone.”
Mac Jones is coming for Tom Brady’s title – the “greatest of all time.” This was, of course, after fans posted a bunch of goat emoji’s on his Instagram page, and maybe the fans are right. What we do know is that Mac Jones and Sophie Scott are made for each other.
The two spend as much time as they can together, even getting away to Bermuda on vacation during the summer. The pair have been going out for a while, and Scott doesn’t seem flustered at all from all the fame she and her long-time boyfriend have gotten recently.
Sophie Scott is used to all the fame! She’s a famous model, physiotherapist, social media star, and Instagram influencer. When she was in college, she met Mac Jones, and they hit it off! They started dating in 2019, and it’s been love ever since.
The two haven’t revealed anything about marriage, but we’re guessing it’s coming. In her off time, Scott works as a physical therapy and occupational therapy aide at the University of Orthopedic Clinic & Spine Center. She loves what she does, but she loves going to football games even more.
Justin Herbert is known for keeping his relationships pretty under wraps, but that’s impossible since everyone is watching one of the best rookies in the NFL. This kid is already making waves, and it’s rumored that he and NFL Network broadcaster Taylor Bisciotti are an item. Why? Well, let us explain.
The rumors started when Justin Hebert was caught out with a pretty blonde girl of a similar size and height to Taylor Bisciotti. Considering the two have had several interactions, it wouldn’t be totally out of question. Is this alleged relationship actually happening, or are we hoping for a little much?
(Image via All-Pro Reels from District of Columbia, USA, CC BY-SA 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons; Instagram)
We could see why Justin would be attracted to Taylor. She was born in 1991 and has already made a huge name for herself. She got an internship for ESPN’s SEC Network that allowed her to discover her passion for sports journalism, and she quickly rose the ranks from there.
She served as a host for Sporting News, and the NFL Network saw a chance to hire someone with massive talent. After being hired, she was the youngest on-air reporter that the NFL Network has ever hired. Naturally, she’s become a staple ever since.
According to ESPN, the Cleveland Browns quarterback was introduced to the Nebraska native by a mutual friend back in 2017. Although she turned down his advances for several months (he would reportedly follow and unfollow her on Instagram repeatedly, very charming), she eventually caved and agreed to go on a date with him before his final college football game.
They got engaged within six months of dating and were married in California in July 2019.
Up until she moved in with Mayfield in 2018, Wilkinson worked as a patient coordinator at a plastic surgery clinic in LA. Before then, she worked as a bartender.
These days, when she's not supporting her husband at his games, she's making money off of Instagram endorsements.
Congdon played basketball in high school and is currently attending Penn State University. She and their baby, Jada Clare, sometimes attend Barkley's games (and they both frequently appear on her Instagram!).
The couple shares a daughter together and they continue to support each other in their careers. As of 2022, the Giants picked up a sixth-year option on Saquon Barkley’s contract.
Cam Newton and Kia Proctor were together for a while. The pair had four children together, and all seemed happy. Unfortunately, it wasn’t so behind the scenes. Turns out, Newton was cheating on Kia behind the scenes, so the pair called it quits. Can’t say we don’t blame her.
Now, it’s rumored that Cam is going out with a girl named Jasmin Brown, and she’s pretty outspoken. She’s had tons of interviews where she’s stated she “pretty much read[s] his mind…before [he] can ever ask me for something, I’m already on it.” Jasmin has stated on social media is enjoys being submissive to her man.
Jasmin Brown, also known as Jazzy, is a comedian, actor, and influencer. Her most notable appearance was in A Miami Love Story and Always a Bridesmaid. It seems like she’s growing in popularity due to her relationship with Cam Newton.
During an interview, she was quoted as saying, ““I’ve been known to love people back to health, and sometimes it’s very draining, but my love is my superpower. And I used to hate that about myself… I love to see him eating the meal that I cooked. I love seeing him sleep easy. Every night, like clockwork. I scratch this mans back until he falls asleep.”
CeeDee Lamb is one of the most talked about players in the league for a good reason. Even in high school, he made headlines and was quickly snagged by the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys. If Lamb is known for anything, it’s giving 110%. Another thing he gives his all to? His girlfriend.
Lamb and Crymson Rose are pretty new – they only started dating in 2021. The two have never spoken publicly about their relationship, and they don’t cross-post on social media. We know they’re together because Rose snatched Lamb’s phone in 2020, and they’ve been spotted in public together.
(Image via All-Pro Reels, CC BY-SA 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons; Instagram)
Crymson Rose became famous in 2020 for snatching Ceedee’s phone, which was all gold from there! Who is Rose? Rose has sports in her blood. Her family is full of huge football fans, with her father being a football player in high school. She graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a four-year degree.
It is because of the phone-snatching scene, she quickly gained followers on Twitter and Instagram. Her following has grown to over 40,000 in total. She also has a modest YouTube channel where she documents her life and gives motivation to her viewers.
The Green Bay Packers receiver married his college sweetheart, Devanne Villarreal, in June 2018. They now have a baby girl, who was born in September 2019. They made the announcement on his Instagram with a video of them popping off pink confetti to reveal the gender.
Davante and Devanne had been dating for a while before Davante started making his marriage plans clear in 2017. Even after he was drafted, Devanne pursued her career in college.
On her Instagram profile, Villarreal describes herself as an esthetician and dog mom. She enjoys posting pictures with her football-player husband, their dog, maternity photos, and flashbacks to their wedding day.
His wife continues to be a huge source of support for him in his career. He continues to play to this day and was selected for the 2021 Pro Bowl.
The new couple had been spotted jetting off to Vegas, Cancun, and Canada after initially exchanging flirty comments on Instagram. While neither has confirmed the relationship or posted about each other, the Cleveland Browns player does comment on Wood’s pictures from time to time.
Lauren Wood is not a huge celebrity but has had her fair share of time in the spotlight on MTV's Wild'n'Out. She is a model with over a million Instagram followers. The first child of Lauren Wood and Odell Beckham Jr. was born on February 17, 2022.
Lauren Wood is an Instagram model, and according to her Instagram bio, does some acting as well. She’s also super into fitness and regularly shows off her stunning physique.
Rumor has it that the couple has been dating for a while but the announcement was made somewhat public in 2019. The two support each other as Beckham is locked in a $25 million contract with Nike while continuing his NFL career.
Ezekiel Elliot has been shoved into the spotlight, but it’s well deserved. He’s risen through the ranks as a great player. Unfortunately, he can’t keep his private life as quiet as he wants. Fans quickly found out that the Dallas Cowboys star is seeing none other than Halle Woodard.
Since then, their relationship has taken the forefront. The pair have been going out for a while, but they haven’t decided to get married yet. Rumor has it that Elliot’s mother approves of his girlfriend, so what’s stopping him from making it official?
Who is Halle Woodard? She’s pretty accomplished and certainly gorgeous. Woodard went to high school in Richardson and was an avid track and fielder. Then, she enrolled at Iowa State University and would graduate in 2013 with a degree in nursing!
We love a girlfriend that loves to help other people. That’ll be great to help Elliott through any injuries he might get on the field. She’s also a personal fitness trainer at Body Machine Fitness, so her great figure makes sense. She works at it daily. How does she have free time?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver met his now-wife while attending Texas A&M. They married in 2016 after a two-year engagement and had 26 people in their wedding party, including Mike’s daughter, who was their flower girl. They’ve since added another daughter to their little family.
Mike Evans has two other children, Ariah Lynn and Amari Thomas, who they help raise together. Ashli regularly posts pictures of their family and has over 20K followers.
Ashli has a lifestyle blog, where she describes herself as “a wife, mother who just so happens to be a little bit obsessed with all things fashion, skincare, travel and food.” She regularly spotlights their cute little family on her Instagram—they all had matching pajamas for Christmas!
The couple met while attending Texas A&M and have been dating officially since 2014. They are going strong to this date.
Zach Ertz is a tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles who attended Stanford University and was drafted into the NFL in 2013. Like many of the football players on this list, he met his wife at Stanford but didn't propose until 2016.
The Philadelphia Eagles tight end and U.S. Women’s National Soccer star met at a Stanford University baseball game—he also proposed in the same stadium and they were married there four years later.
Julie Ertz is every bit as much of a star as her husband. She’s a FIFA Women’s World Cup Champion and plays as a midfielder for the Chicago Red Stars of the National Women’s Soccer League—which is the highest division of women’s professional soccer in the U.S. Zach even has a U.S. national team jersey with “Mr. Ertz” on the back that he wears to support his wife.
Julie Ertz has been on the US National Soccer team since 2012 and in 2015 she played at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. Both she and her husband were featured in the 2017 Zach and Julie Ertz were featured in ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue after having gotten married.
This Bengals quarterback caught everyone’s eye, especially after his team won the Heisman Trophy. He’s one of the NFL’s newest and brightest stars. However, he’s a taken man! Olivia Holzmacher and Joe Burrow have been dating since 2017 when they met while attending Ohio State University.
Burrow left Ohio State in 2018 for LSU, but the pair were sure to keep their relationship going. Holzmacher can be spotted on the sidelines of LSU games, cheering on her man. Even when she can’t make the games, Holzmacher had a cardboard cut out of her placed in the stands.
So, who is Olivia Holzmacher? She’s one smart cookie! In 2019, she graduated with a degree in data analytics from the Big Ten school. Not much is known about Holzmacher outside of this, unfortunately. She’s a private person and prefers to keep her personal life on the downlow.
She doesn’t even post a ton on her own social media account, but when she does, she’s always cheering Burrow to the win. Holzmacher tries to make nearly every game, including the team’s Wild Card win over the Raiders.
It’s pretty rare to keep a high school relationship going, much less for a couple that has reached as much fame as Jonathan Taylor has. These hardships haven’t hurt Taylor and Ayanna, thankfully. The pair met in 2014, and their relationship quickly blossomed.
The pair posted each other on their respective social media accounts, and they even started a joint YouTube channel together called Ayanna Ly and JT. It had a modest subscriber base, but it was all they wanted as they posted a video every few months. They had better things to do (like Taylor joining the NFL).
What made Jonathan Taylor madly in love with Ayanna? It’s hard to see why not! Chapman was a hockey player while at Salem High. That’s actually how they met! She’s clearly athletic just like him, but it wasn’t what she wanted to do for a career.
She actually aspires to be an attorney and is working hard to make her dreams come true. In the meantime, she’s there for Jonathan Taylor. It’s expected that the pair will tie the knot soon, so she probably has a lot of wedding planning to get ready for!
The Detroit Lions quarterback married the former University of Georgia cheerleader in 2015. They have three children together.
To add they’re really taking the “in sickness and in health” part of their vows seriously…
Kelly recently underwent 12-hour brain surgery. In early 2019, she started to experience vertigo. An MRI revealed that she had a benign tumor resting on her cranial nerves.
Kelly has been extremely open with the healing process on her Instagram and claims that she and her husband “grew as individuals, as a couple, and as parents going through what we went through so I wouldn’t change it for the world…but I know I speak for both of us when I say we are very ready for football. So here is to season 11.”
The Texan's defensive end has been dating makeup artist Najah Martin for several years now. Martin gave birth to their son, Jahlil, in October 2015.
Currently, Jadeveon Clowney is a defensive end for the Cleveland Browns. After playing for the Texans, he played for the Seahawks and the Tennessee Titans. Najah continues to be a valuable source of support and regularly posts about him on social media.
Martin is a makeup artist, but studied pre-med at the University of South Carolina. She graduated in 2014, the same year Clowney was drafted first overall by the Houston Texans.
After playing for the Texans, Jadeveon Clowney played for the Seattle Seahawks and the Tennessee Titans. Najah continues to be a source of great support for this talented player.
Antonio Brown is currently a wide receiver for the Tampa bay Buccaneers. Previously, he played for the Steelers, Raiders, and New England Patriots. Chelsie Kyriss is a social media personality with a huge following on Instagram.
Things are currently going well for the Oakland Raider and his girlfriend. They both have children from previous relationships and share one child together. They vacationed in Hawaii together and shared all their intimate moments on Instagram. However, things haven’t always been so peachy between them…
In January 2019, Kyriss accused Brown of domestic violence. No arrest was made, but Brown took to social media to clear his name and smear his girlfriend’s name. Shortly after, Brown asked to be traded from the Steelers after a feud with Ben Roethlisberger (who was initially the one who pushed the couple together!).
Chelsie Kyriss and Antonio Brown are still together, raising four sons and a daughter together, although the relationship certainly has its ups and downs.
In 2020 after Brown announced their engagement Kyriss replied to a comment “… we are not together love!" They are still dating.
The Dallas Cowboys player has been rumored to be dating Destiny Jones since he was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in 2015. They keep their relationship super private, but he has posted two pictures of her on his Instagram to date.
Destiny Jones is not to be confused with beauty guru and daughter of rapper Nas. Cooper's girlfriend is a psychiatrist and Alabama State University graduate.
Although she has the same name as rapper Nas’s daughter, they are two different people. In fact, not much is known about Cooper’s rumored girlfriend other than the fact that she graduated from Alabama State University in 2018 and is a psychiatrist.
The couple has not married and it is not known if or when they will. They do not have any children together either. But who knows what the future holds?
According to The Associated Press, Bell came home from the gym to find his closet "in disarray" and "all his jewelry was missing."
The names of the two women have not been released, but Bell posted an Instagram Story before the incident with the caption "MINE". Giana Milani and "Lil marlie" were tagged as well. Le'Veon Bell is currently single.
The football star got engaged to Ashley Brown in 2010 and had a four-year engagement before finally tying the knot in 2014. Peterson has fathered anywhere from seven to nine kids with a few different women, including his wife...whom he met in college. One rumored mistress, who was pregnant at the same time as his wife, asked for $1.9 million in child support, according to TMZ.
Peterson’s alleged mistress (although it’s unclear if it’s the same one; the boy stays busy) came forward about an alleged affair with the football player in 2018. She exposed the dirty messages he sent her and claimed they had a secret relationship.
Both Peterson and Brown have yet to comment on the alleged affair(s). On a lighter note, Brown posed for Playboy once in a “Girls of the Big 12” series.
These days, she owns a makeup company called Elizabella Cosmetics and runs a nonprofit called A&A Peterson Family Foundation, which “aims to improve quality of life through resources and economic development.” Sounds like she has a very kind and patient heart to put up with her husband’s antics…
While his love life might be a little up and down, there's no denying that Aaron Rodgers' football career is nothing if not incredibly successful. Drafted all the way back in 2005, Rodgers has spent most of his career with the Green Bay Packers, but for the upcoming season, he's playing for the New York Jets.
Dating rumors have been swirling around Rodgers and his alleged girlfriend, Mallory Edens, since the early months of 2023, and, while the two haven't outright confirmed their relationship, they have also made no attempt to squash the speculation surrounding the two. According to insiders, while the two are in a relationship, they're trying to keep things "casual" and take things slow.
So who is this new woman that Rodgers is attached to and how did they meet? It might have something to do with the fact that Edens is the daughter of Wes Edens, owner of the NBA team the Milwaukee Bucks. Rodgers is also part owner of the team, so it seems likely that they met thanks to these associations.
Edens herself is an Instagram model, and while that may sound a little sketchy, she's actually signed to big talent agencies like Ford Models. Even though she may not be a pro athlete, she dabbled in sports herself in college as a member of Princeton's women's track and field team.
Despite the fact that Ja'Marr Chase was only drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2021, he's already become a rising star in the NFL. In addition to being named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year during his first season, the Bengals also made it to the Super Bowl in 2021, where Chase caught five passes.
However, when it comes to the sport of love, Chase hasn't found as much success, with several public and messy breakups under his belt. That may be one of the reasons that he hasn't officially gone public with his newest girlfriend, Jalyn Michelle. Despite the secrecy, insiders do say that these two are indeed a couple.
(Images via Getty Images Sport/Michael Owens/GettyImages; Instagram)
So who is this mystery woman that Chase seems to be attached to? Jalyn Michelle is both a Youtuber and Instagram influencer, where she posts content mostly about her personal life. While she may not be the biggest name on these platforms, her previous brand deals make it seem like she's doing just fine for herself when it comes to income.
Like Chase, Michelle has had some pretty rough patches in her love life in the past. Before dating Chase, she was in a relationship with her Youtube partner, Nyyear Price. The two had a very public breakup via Youtube videos in 2021, so it would make sense that she, like Chase, wants to keep things on the DL for as long as possible.
Deandre Hopkins is about to start his first season with the Tennessee Titans, but he's far from a newbie to the NFL in general. First drafted in 2013, Hopkins has played previously for both the Arizona Cardinals and the Houston Texans. During his career, Hopkins has been to the Pro Bowl five times.
Hopkins is currently in a relationship with a woman known as Breanna Young. While the early days of the couple's timeline is unknown, they first made their relationship public when they were spotted on the beach together in 2021. Since then, they've made no attempt to hide their affection for one another.
(Images via Getty Images Sport/Quinn Harris/GettyImages; Instagram)
Like a lot of NFL girlfriends, Breanna Young is most known as an Instagram "influencer." However, she's got another interesting skill that we imagine serves her well—she's actually a licensed commercial pilot! It appears that her influence stretches not only to Instagram but to the skies as well!
Beyond that, not a whole lot is known about Young and her personal life, as she tends to keep a pretty low profile in most areas of her life. While there may not be wedding bells in the near future for the couple, we imagine that if they manage to keep making it work, they'll eventually make things official and tie the knot.
Tyreek Hill has been on the field for one NFL team or another since he was drafted in 2016. He began his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, but he's currently gearing up for his second season with the Miami Dolphins. To give you an idea of his skills, he's been selected every season of his career for the Pro Bowl.
While Tyreek Hill and his alleged new girlfriend, Mary Isabel, haven't made any official pronouncements about their relationship, internet sleuths have managed to find several instances of the couple together, including a video from the Miami Dolphins where Isabel is seated next to Hill on the team's private jet.
(Images via Getty Images Sport/Ethan Miller/GettyImages; Instagram)
Isabel is not one to put her whole life on display for the all internet to see, but we do know a few things about Hill's mystery woman and her history. It appears that Isabel supports herself with a career as both an Instagram model and painter based in Miami.
More interestingly, it appears that Isabel was once engaged to another woman—Texas-based entrepreneur Keeta Vaccaro. While the two eventually called their engagement off, no details were revealed as to why. That makes us believe that there aren't going to be many details about her relationship with Hill that will be released to the public.
Chris Jones has been a defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs since he was drafted by the team in 2016. During that time, he's made it to the Super Bowl with the Chiefs twice, and he currently holds the NFL record for most consecutive games with a sack—which stands at eleven.
While he might have years of experience as an NFL pro, he's actually got even more years of experience as a married man! Since 2014, Jones has been married to his wife, Sheawna Weathersby. While they've made this part of their relationship public, not much is known about the early years of their romance.
While Weathersby is not as public about her life as some of the women on this list, we still know a little about what she gets up to when she's not cheering on her husband. Weathersby works as both an Instagram influencer and licensed esthetician. But that's not all that keeps her hands full!
Jones and Weathersby are also parents to three children, with their youngest being born in September of 2022. If they weren't such private people, we would imagine that a glimpse into their lives would be pretty chaotic! Rewarding, sure...but definitely chaotic too. At least they have each other to lean on when things around the house get really crazy!
Josh Allen has been a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills since his draft in 2018. During that time he's really hit the ground running, and now is the current record holder for more than 10 NFL records and almost 20 records for the Bills franchise. Thanks to him, in 2020, the Bills managed to nab their first division title.
Since May of 2023, Allen has been in a relationship with actress Hailee Steinfeld, which was only a few months after his previous relationship ended. While the two seem to be a happy couple, the NFL star has recently commented that he doesn't appreciate the invasive measures photographers have used to nab photos of the couple together.
(Images via Getty Images Sport/Timothy T Ludwig/GettyImages; Instagram)
While Allen may be a big pro footballer, Steinfeld has had her own high-profile career apart from her famous beau. She works as a musician and actress whose first big break came in 2010 with her award-nominated role in True Grit. Since then, things have only gone up for the star.
Her music career began after an appearance in 2015's Pitch Perfect 2, and since then, she's released 2 EPs and has numerous singles, both as a lead artist and as a featured artist. Her last major relationship was with former One Direction member Niall Horan. Regardless of how her relationship with Allen goes, it seems like she'll be just fine either way.
Jalen Hurts has been a quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles since they drafted him a few seasons ago in 2020. While he started his inaugural season as a backup QB, he was starting for the Eagles by the time the season had ended. He helped lead his team to the Super Bowl in 2023, so now all that's missing is a ring!
While he and his girlfriend, Bryonna Burrows, like to keep their private lives to themselves, they have at least officially confirmed they are dating—which is more than we can say about some of these NFL stars! The two went public with their good news shortly after the Eagles won the NFC Championship in 2023.
While she might like to keep a pretty low profile, we do know a few tidbits about Bryonna Burrows and how she and Hurts became a couple. The two first met as students at the University of Alabama—likely through Greek Life events, as they were both members of chapters on campus.
In terms of her professional life, not much is known besides the fact that she works for IBM in Dallas, Texas. It's clear she has business in her blood, as she served as vice president for the University of Alabama's MBA Association. It sounds like she might be just as busy as her pro football beau!
Justin Jefferson hasn't been a pro footballer for long, but during his short tenure, he's been breaking records and turning heads. He was named Offensive Player of the Year in 2022, and he currently holds the record for the youngest player to lead in receptions and receiving yards.
Around the same time that Jefferson was drafted, rumors began to swirl about his dating life, and, specifically, a woman named Tianna Harris. While he never made a public statement about their relationship, pictures of them expressing PDA pretty much tell us all we need to know about where the couple stands.
(Images via Getty Images Sport/Jeff Bottari/Getty Images; Instagram)
Harris seems to know a thing or two about sports herself, as she is an accomplished soccer player in her own right. She played soccer during college, most notably at Kent State, where she recently graduated in 2022 with a degree in marketing. During her time there, she won numerous awards for her performance on the field.
These days, it seems like Harris is still more interested in playing soccer than doing marketing. She is currently a member of the Minnesota Aurora Football Club, where she plays the position of defender. There's no telling what she'll do next, but she's got plenty of skills to support her in whatever she does.
Myles Garrett is an NFL defensive end that currently plays for the Cleveland Browns after he was their first overall draft pick in 2017. They clearly knew what they were doing, as Garrett has been to four Pro Bowls and been named All-Pro twice during his time with the team.
In 2019, Garrett began dating a woman named Serra Tumay, but they initially wanted to keep the news of their relationship private. However, by 2020, the couple had gone public and had been spotted together several times. While they don't share every detail of their lives with the public, the two no longer try to hide their relationship.
While not a professional athlete herself, Tumay is no stranger to the world of sports—she played soccer in both high school and during her time at New York University. However, when it comes to her work life, it seems that she's taken a different path than becoming a pro athlete.
Tumay graduated from college and grad school with degrees relating to nutrition, exercise, and physiology. During her career, she's worked as a dietician for various organizations including UCLA Athletics and the Aston Villa Football Club. So, while she might not be on the field any longer, she's still heavily involved in the world of sports!
George Kittle has been a tight end for the San Francisco 49ers since he was drafted by them in 2017. During training season for his first year on the job, Kittle managed to be out several other established players to be named starting tight end for the team. He made his first appearance in a Super Bowl game in 2019, but unfortunately, the 49ers didn't bring home a win that time.
Like several NFL couples on this list, Kittle and his now-wife, Claire, met when they were in college together at the University of Iowa. The two first started dating in 2012, and they decided to make things official by tying the knot in 2019. The event took place in the jewelry store of a family friend where Kittle first bought a ring for his wife-to-be.
Like her husband, Claire Kittle is no stranger to the world of sports. She played basketball during both high school and college. Unfortunately, any professional hopes she may have had were dashed by a knee injury during her final year of college. However, that didn't keep her down, as she remarked, "The pits make the peaks that much sweeter," about her career-ending injury.
Strangely enough, Claire and George have technically been married twice. Because their first, official marriage was such a small, quick affair, they decided to give it a go again in April of 2021 so that all their friends and family could celebrate their nuptials with a proper party.
Maxx Crosby was drafted in 2019 by the Las Vegas Raiders as a defensive end for the team. Crosby's skills helped him make his debut in week one for the Raiders during his first season, and in the ensuing seasons, he made a name for himself, including two appearances at the Pro Bowl.
While not married yet, Crosby got engaged to his long-term girlfriend, Rachel Washburn, in February of 2022. Their relationship stretches back to 2016 when they first met as students while attending Eastern Michigan University. Later, in October of 2022, the happy couple welcomed their first child together.
During their time at Eastern Michigan University, Rachel Washburn studied sports management, which has definitely come in handy for her and her pro football fiance in the ensuing years! She currently helps run Crosby's merchandise website, known as Mad Maxx Merch. She's also a bit of an athlete herself, as she played soccer during high school and college.
Crosby and Washburn's relationship hasn't been all sunshine and roses, though. During a period of his life when he was an alcoholic, Washburn actually left him for several months. However, the two eventually patched things up, and Crosby credits Washburn as an important part of him getting and staying sober.
Since being a fifth-round draft pick in 2015, Stefon Diggs has played as a wide receiver for both the Minnesota Vikings and the Buffalo Bills. Despite being picked relatively late in the draft, Diggs still managed to become a starter during his first season with the Vikings. In 2022, while playing for the Bills, Diggs set the NFL season record for most receptions at 127.
While the details abou their relationship are scarce, it appears that Stefon Diggs is in a relationship with a woman known as Tae Heckard. The two were first spotted in public as a couple during a 2021 Buffalo Bills game, but it's believed that their relationship stretches back to at least 2019.
While not much may be known about the relationship between Diggs and Heckard, it appears that she's got plenty going on besides him. Heckard is an actress who is most well-known for her role on the BET program The Game. She's also worked with big names in the music business like Mariah Carey and Busta Rhymes.
Some people have speculated that Diggs and Heckard have broken up, but we're not convinced. People point out that they're not really seen in public together any more, but in the early stages of their relationship, they were also trying to keep out of the public eye. Some people just like their privacy!
Fred Warner has been a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers since he was their third-round draft pick in 2018. He was a strong player out of the gate, earning the right to play as starting middle linebacker during his rookie season. More recently, he just signed a new contract with the team worth an eye-watering $93 million.
Warner is currently married to a woman named Sydney Hightower. The two only began dating in early 2022, but by June of that same year, they had already tied the knot! According to Hightower, the two got to know each other after Warner began DMing her on social media.
While Fred Warner might be an NFL superstar, Hightower is doing just fine for herself in the fame department as well. She appeared as a contestant on season 24 of The Bachelor in 2020, where she was eliminated several weeks into the competition. She and Warner began dating shortly after her time on the show.
At the time of her appearance on The Bachelor, Hightower worked as a marketing manager, but it's not clear if she has continued in this profession afterward. Getting eliminated from the show was probably pretty hard for her at the time, but it seems that everything has worked out for the best!
Josh Jacobs has been a running back for the Las Vegas Raiders since 2019, making his debut in week one of that season. While he's done well for the team in the ensuing years, he's currently in a contract scuffle with the Raiders, and it's not yet apparent whether he will be playing for them in the upcoming season.
While it appears to be a new romance, Josh Jacobs is currently in a relationship with Hazel E. While the two have not officially announced their relationship, people close to the couple say they've made things official privately. Considering her past, it makes sense that they would want to keep things private.

Hazel E is a rapper who is most well-known for her appearance on the reality show Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood. Before her relationship with Jacobs, she was married to Devon Waller, who also appeared on the show. However, things went south for the couple, and she filed for divorce in December of 2022.
The divorcees have been quick to talk badly about each other on social media, and it seems like things have gotten pretty ugly between them. Let's hope that all this relationship drama doesn't carry over into her new life with Josh Jacobs!
Aaron Donald has the unusual distinction of playing for two NFL teams without a trade. When he was drafted in 2014, the Rams were in St. Louis, but within a couple of seasons, the team packed it up and moved to California to become the Los Angeles rams. Regardless of where he plays, the defensive tackle is considered one of the best in the world.
The NFL hasn't just brought Donald fame and fortune, though—it's also brought him love! He first met his now-wife, Erica Donald, when she began working for the Rams as a sports marketer just a year after he was drafted. According to her, it took him proposing twice before she said yes.
Before entering the world of sports marketing, Erica Donald got a degree in communications and public relations from Louisiana State University. According to her, she is now the mastermind behind the marketing strategy for her husband's image and career. It sounds like he's in very good hands with her!
Aaron Donald has children from a previous relationship, and the couple now have two children of their own. It seems like they've got their hands full without even considering the demands of their careers! It seems like they're really in love as Aaron had this to say about his wife: "If it wasn't for [Erica], I don't know where I would be."
While neither of these two is “looking for anything serious at the moment” per E! News, they were spotted in Mexico together with a couple of friends. They’ve reportedly been “texting nonstop” for the past month.
