Stars Who Love Dating Athletes: Jennifer Lopez, More

Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez and Olivia Culpo have a thing for athletes — and they’re not alone.

The former Spice Girls singer married former soccer star David Beckham in July 1999 after meeting two years prior after a soccer match. The couple — nicknamed Posh and Becks — went on to welcome four children: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.

Lopez, on the other hand, got engaged to former Yankees shortstop Alex Rodriguez in March 2019, after dating for two years. However, the pair didn’t make it down the aisle, calling it quits in April 2021. (Lopez went on to marry Ben Affleck in July 2022.)

Culpo has yet to marry an athlete, but she has had two high-profile relationships with football players. Following her split from NFL’s Danny Amendola in March 2018, Culpo started seeing running back Christian McCaffrey in June 2019. The duo got engaged in April 2023.
