Super Bowl Sunday will have some serious star power in both cheering sections!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are two of the biggest names in the music and sports world, respectively, so it’s no surprise that the public has remained fascinated by the romance between the two. Swift has attended many of the Kansas City Chiefs games this season, cheering from Kelce’s family box, and even helped him celebrate on the field after the AFC Championship.

On the San Francisco 49ers side, star running back Christian McCaffrey will have a former Miss Universe rooting him on, in fiancee Olivia Culpo. Not only that, McCaffrey’s teammate, linebacker Fred Warner, is married to former Bachelor star Sydney Hightower!

This is hardly the first time that a celebrity has found love with an NFL player. From Jessica Simpson getting mocked by Cowboys fans for daring to attend boyfriend Tony Romo’s game, to Gisele Bunchen helping Tom Brady hoist yet another Super Bowl trophy, to Ciara finding her Prince Charming under center for the Seattle Seahawks, it’s a story we know “all too well.”

Here’s a look at some celebs who have found love on the gridiron — whether it was a “love story” for the ages or not.

CURRENT COUPLES

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce

If you haven’t heard of this couple, you must have been living under a rock! Rumors about a potential romance first sparked in July 2023, when Kelce admitted that he tried “shooting his shot” by giving Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it, but failed to get the gift to the singer.

Things went into total overdrive when Swift made an appearance in Kelce’s private box to watch the Kansas City Chiefs trounce the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24, 2023. She went on to attend most of the Chiefs’ remaining games and was on hand to help Kelce celebrate his team’s AFC championship win — sharing a sweet PDA moment on the field.

And of course, Kelce was asked plenty about Swift during his press appearances leading up to the Super Bowl. He gave a sweet answer to an inquiry about why people are so fascinated by their relationship.

“I think the values that we stand for and who we are as people,” Kelce responded. “We love to shine light on others, shine light around people that help and support us. And on top of that I feel like we both have just a fun for life.”

Following a two-year relationship with wide receiver Danny Amendola, Culpo moved back under center when she started dating San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey in 2019. The happy couple announced their engagement in April 2023.

Ahead of the Super Bowl, Olivia shared how excited she was to watch McCaffrey make it to the big game. After the team clinched the NFC championship last month, she shared cute clips of the pair celebrating the big win, along with a sweet message to her husband-to-be.

“Watching the love of your life live out his dream is the best feeling in the world,” she wrote over the video, which featured a brief clip of her and McCaffrey before the game as well as after the 49ers’ victory, where they shared a hug and a chest bump.

“You deserve it all Christian ❤️,” she captioned the post. “I love you so so much.”

Another of the highest-profile NFL WAGs is Ciara, who found love with the Denver Broncos quarterback after splitting from rapper Future. The pair started dating in 2015 and married in July of the following year. They share three children together — 6-year-old daughter Sienna, 3-year-old son Win and newborn daughter Amora, whom they welcomed on Dec. 11, 2023 — and Wilson is an extremely active stepdad to Ciara’s son, eldest Future Zahir.

 

The 43-year-old SKIMS founder and the 31-year-old Baltimore Ravens wide receiver first sparked dating rumors in September 2023. At the time, a source told ET that the two had known each other for a while and had only recently started hanging out mo

While they’ve kept things low-profile since then, a source told ET in early February that “things have been continuing to heat up between Kim and Odell. They like each other and have a good thing going.”

According to the source, “Odell likes to keep a low profile and Kim appreciates that. They have been friends for a long time and naturally vibe with one another. Things are just easy between them and he isn’t in it for the attention or spotlight.”

Steinfeld was once a member of Swift’s on-stage friend squad, so it’s not totally surprising that they’ve both found themselves linked to two of the NFL’s biggest stars. The Hawkeye actress was first linked to the Buffalo Bills quarterback in May 2023, and the pair took a PDA-packed trip to Mexico in July.

Allen played coy about the relationship during an appearance on Pardon My Take in August 2023, saying, “The fact that anybody cares about [my love life] still blows my mind.” However, Steinfeld did travel to London to watch the Bills’ game against the Jaguars on Oct. 8, 2023.

In another NFL romance connection, Berrios — a wide receiver currently playing for the Miami Dolphins — was previously linked to Sophia Culpo, sister of Olivia (see above). He made his red carpet debut with Earle at the ESPY Awards in July 2023, however, many of the TikTok influencer’s fans had been speculating about a “mystery man” in her videos prior to that.

The Scandal star and the NFL cornerback turned actor keep details of their personal life very private, despite the occasional stunning red carpet appearance together. After tying the knot in June 2013, the couple welcomed a daughter in 2014 and a son in 2016.

After a failed high-profile romance with another footballer (see below), Simpson went a little lower on the depth chart with Johnson, who played tight end for the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints during his seven-year NFL career. The couple married in July 2014 and share three kids.

Yet another singer to land herself a “tight end,” country singer Jessie James married Decker — who spent eight seasons in the NFL, most prolifically with the Denver Broncos — in June 2013. They share three children and announced in August 2023 that they were expecting their fourth!

The Survivor star turned conservative commentator married her college sweetheart in 2002, before either of them was much of a household name. Tim was a journeyman backup quarterback in the NFL from 2001-07, before going on to a successful broadcasting career, while Elisabeth appeared on The View from 2003-13, before becoming a panelist on Fox & Friends from 2013-15.

The most-decorated gymnast of all time took to Raya to meet her NFL beau, who has played strong safety for the New Orleans Saints, Houston Texans, and, as of the 2023 season, the Green Bay Packers. The pair got engaged on Valentine’s Day 2022, and tied the knot in two ceremonies in spring 2023.
