Pop and Sports Power Couples: A Match Made in Heaven or a Recipe for Disaster?

TAYLOR Swift is the latest pop star to be swept off her feet by an athlete.

The Anti-Hero songstress has brought even more eyes to the NFL after striking up a romance with Kansas City Chief’s Travis Kelce.

After he won the Super Bowl, the billionaire singer made her to the Allegiant Stadium field and they shared a loving embrace and tears of joy.

But, Taylor isn’t the first musician to have fallen in love with a sports star.

This group have, with some continuing to go the distance.

David and Victoria Beckham

Not just the most famous crossover, probably the most successful.

The Beckhams met in the 90s, when David was a rising star at Manchester United and Victoria was dominating the charts with the Spice Girls.

They got married in 1999, survived a marital scandal with Rebecca Loos’ alleged affair, and have continued to thrive with their careers – with Becks owning Inter Miami and Victoria boasting a successful fashion label.

Their romance even played out in a recent Netflix documentary, where a meme of the pair kidding around over what car Victoria was driven to school in showing they’re still very much in sync.

Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez

Movie and pop star Jennifer and baseball great Alex seemed like a match in the heaven.

Both uber successful, both incredibly wealthy and good-looking.

For four years from 2017, they were one of America’s most famous couples.

They got engaged, but split in 2021 – with Rodriguez having nothing but nice things to say.

The NY Yankees legend even said: “She’s the most talented human being.”
