It is a fact that music and sports have always been intertwined and some celebrities know it very well, as they have fallen for the charms of some famous athletes. Couples like Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie, Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian, or the recent relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce prove it. For this reason, below, we will make a small account of some couples formed by artists and baseball players who prove that love can be found where you least expect it.
Baseball and celebrity couples who found love
Madonna and Alex Rodriguez
In 2008, former baseball player Alex Rodríguez was romantically linked to iconic singer Madonna. And although their relationship was never officially confirmed by either of them, it quickly captured the attention of the media, because, in addition to the singer being married, several people claimed that she was the cause of the athlete’s divorce.
JLo and Alex Rodríguez
Jennifer López and Alex Rodríguez were together for 4 years. Their love was so solid that they were even on the verge of getting married. However, in 2021 they announced their final separation due to problems that ultimately turned out to be irreconcilable.
Cole Tucker and Vanessa Hudgens
Baseball player Cole Tucker and talented actress Vanessa Hudgens are living a romance that seems to have come out of a fairy tale. The couple met in a meditation class via Zoom and after almost three years of romance, they decided to get engaged at the end of 2022 secretly.
Kate Upton and Justin Verlander
Actress Kate Upton found happiness with prominent Major League pitcher Justin Verlander. They both dated for three years and in 2017, they decided to get married; a year later, their first daughter Genoveva was born.
Mariah Carey and Derek Jeter
Mariah Carey had an affair with baseball legend Derek Jeter while married to Tommy Mottola. This romance, in addition to inspiring her to write several of her songs, led her to end her five-year marriage.
Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio
Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio starred in one of the most famous romances of Hollywood’s golden age. However, what should have been a fairy tale quickly turned into torment after the couple married on January 14, 1954, as Monroe’s addictions and DiMaggio’s jealousy meant that their marriage would only last 9 months.
