For many WAGs, their first brush with fame comes as a result of being on their partner’s arm. 

Yet when it comes to the NFL, there are several WAGs who have already made a name for themselves in showbiz circles.  

Often seen supporting their partner from the stands, these stars are just as familiar to fans as the players. 

From actresses to singers, the growing lineup of celebrity-NFL duos is redefining the playbook for power couples.

Here, the Daily Mail takes a look at the NFL’s famous WAGs.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has been dating pop singer Taylor Swift since 2023. 

They famously became an item after Travis saw one of Taylor’s Eras Tour concerts in the summer of 2023 in Kansas City.

He tried and failed to land a backstage meeting with her in order to give her a bracelet with his phone number on it.

Travis told the story to his brother Jason Kelce on their podcast New Heights, and after the anecdote went viral, it emerged that Taylor had indeed started dating him.

He said on New Heights that he was ‘disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings, so I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I’ve made for her.’ 

The athlete explained: ‘If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.’ 

His brother Jason, who at that point played for the Philadelphia Eagles, jokingly guessed that Taylor refused because of her known fondness for his team. 

‘Well, she probably just hasn’t gotten over the Super Bowl yet. She’s a big Eagles fan, so maybe she just made something up and just didn’t wanna talk to you,’ he quipped.

In August 2025, the pair announced their engagement in a viral Instagram post she captioned: ‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.’

Buffalo Bills player Josh Allen and actress Hailee Steinfeld sparked romance rumours in May 2023 after they were spotted in New York City. 

People exclusively reported that they’d been ‘hanging out for a few week,’ according to an insider.

‘It’s new, but they are having fun,’ the source added.

In July 2023, Josh finally confirmed their relationship with a sweet Instagram post. 

‘Onward,’ he wrote as Hailee appears in several of the photos in the carousel.

Fast forward to July the following year, and the actress shared snaps of their engagement, which was taken on a cliff next to an ocean vista. 

Simply writing the date in the caption, she said: ’11•22•24.’

Despite being extremely private about their relationship, Josh gushed over Hailee while accepting the award for the Most Valuable Player award at the 2025 NFL Honors in New Orleans. 

He said, via Us Weekly, that he’d like to thank ‘last but not least, my fiancée, Hailee. You’ve been my rock. 

‘You are my best friend [and] I would not be standing on this stage if it weren’t for you.’

In May 2025, the pair finally tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in California. 

On December 12, 2025, Hailee announced she was pregnant with her first child.

Los Angeles Chargers player Justin Herbert and singer Madison Beer sparked dating rumours in August 2025 when the athlete was spotted on the set of the singer’s music video.

The pair then sat courtside at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game in LA when the Lakers overcame the Timberwolves 128 to 110.

They took their romance public at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammys gala on February 1.

Madison previously dated TikTok star Nick Austin and also had a fling with Victoria and David Beckham’s estranged son Brooklyn Beckham.

Justin was drafted by the Chargers in 2020. He went on to win that year’s Offensive Rookie of the Year prize.

He signed a five-year contract worth $262.5m in 2023 but has only made the playoffs twice in five seasons, owing to being in the same division as the Kansas City Chiefs.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs and rapper Cardi B have been dating since early last year.

They went public with their relationship in May when they cosied up to one another courtside at a New York Knicks game. 

The wide receiver was questioned about the prospect of marriage earlier this month as he prepared for the biggest week of his NFL career.

Yet, on the eve of Super Bowl week, the 32-year-old made it clear that his focus remained on a very different type of ring – for now.

During Super Bowl LX opening night, Diggs was asked if he would be buying the rapper an engagement ring, if he secured one of his own in Sunday’s showdown.

After a moment’s hesitation, Diggs laughed off the idea, saying: ‘It’s on the agenda, maybe. Right? I gotta get mine first, though.’

Fifth Harmony star Normani and Pittsburgh Steelers star DK Metcalf were first spotted together in June 2022. 

However, they didn’t confirm their relationship until a year later on Instagram. 

That year, she opened up about their relationship, telling Rolling Stone that she was ‘very happy.’

She said: ‘I’ve experienced a lot with relationships. I’m a real lover girl … I like to see myself happy. I really do.’

In March 2025, the pair announced their engagement during his first Pittsburgh Steelers press conference.  

‘She right there. Hold that rock up baby,’ he said, pointing to his fiancée off camera.

DK went on to share that he proposed in Houston with both families present.

‘It was my sister’s Spring Break, and [I] just thought about getting the whole family together for a big kumbaya and joining our families with the ring,’ he continued.

Ciara and her New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson have been married since 2016 and share daughters Sienna, eight, Amora Princess Wilson, two, and four-year-old son Win.

Russell is also stepfather to Ciara’s 11-year-old son Future Zahir Wilburn, whom she shares with ex-fiancé Future.

Ciara has credited communication and date nights as key to their successful relationship. She also said they’ve learned to never go to bed angry.

‘I would say communication rules a nation,’ she revealed last year. ‘What I will give my husband a lot of credit for is that he can communicate really well.

‘And I think maybe it’s the quarterback in him because he’s big on leadership, big on teamwork, big on being together,’ she explained of her husband, who plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

She added: ‘I really feel grateful for our ability to communicate with each other.’

‘Not going to bed mad,’ she added. ‘That is really important. So far we’ve never done that.’

‘And dating each other,’ she added. ‘You have to keep dating each other.’

Ciara said they’ve become ‘committed’ to date nights to avoid getting complacent.

They do date nights every Friday as that particular day tends to be the ‘lightest’ for professional football players.

‘It’s something that I look forward to,’ she said. ‘I feel like the beginning feelings all over every time, like getting cute for him, and he comes out looking cute and looking sexy. But that’s fun. It helps us to keep things fresh.’

Olympian Simone Biles is married to Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens.

The couple met on the celebrity dating app Raya shortly before the Covid pandemic in 2020, with their relationship progressing further when Simone slid into the NFL star’s DMs on Instagram.

Jonathan revealed to Texas Monthly that the restrictions brought by the pandemic aided the growth of their relationship and allowed him to get to know her since neither of them were engulfed by their busy schedules.

‘It was one of the few times in her life where everything was just shut off and she couldn’t do anything,’ he shared. 

‘So we used it to get to know each other, really get to know each other. It created our bond and made it stronger. Now I’m so thankful.’

The doting couple tied the knot on April 22, 2023 in a low-key courthouse ceremony in Houston.

The couple however did go on to host a lavish wedding for family and friends in Mexico.

Their wedding and honeymoon phase was short-lived however as Jonathan signed for the Green Bay Packers which forced him to move from Texas to Wisconsin.
