When it comes to Hollywood’s biggest and brightest athlete-star couples, these pairs get a gold medal.
As the 2020 Super Bowl approaches, fans are gearing up for a field showdown between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. But, for pop culture aficionados, Sunday’s game is the moment Jennifer Lopez and Shakirawill take the halftime show stage, both for the first time.
However, both songstresses are no strangers to a stadium. In addition to performing in them in the course of their decades-long careers, the music stars also have athletes for partners.
While Shakira has been in a longtime relationship with Spanish soccer star Gerard Piqué, with whom she’s welcomed two sons, Lopez is currently engaged to retired Yankees player Alex Rodriguez.
The Super Bowl is often the sight of some pretty major star-athlete couples, especially Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen, who are a staple pair of the annual football event.
While Brady isn’t playing in the game this year, we can bet on a A-Rod and J.Lo sighting and maybe even a few more stars and their athletic other halves.
After all, there are many of them in Hollywood.
For a recap of all the cute athlete and star couples, keep scrolling—and don’t forget to tune into the big game on Sunday!
