Football season has arrived: Find out which celebrity athletes have scored off the playing field

September 21, 2009
Â
Well, UK has experienced its first home game of the 2009 football season, and what a game it was. As colleges across the country celebrate the arrival of the sports season, Hollywood is doing the very same. Some celebrities prefer to stick with their own kind by dating fellow celebs, while other celebrities have become jersey chasers.Â
Hollywood relationships don’t seem to be among the most stable romances, but some stars have figured out how to make it last. As we celebrate the start of the football season, let’s check out some of the couples who are half super-celebrity, half super-athlete. We hope these power couples have the strength to make it.
Eva Longoria Parker and Tony Parker
This “desperate” housewife is anything but desperate, because she has snagged herself one of the hottest commodities in basketball. The Latino beauty met the French basketball player in 2004, but they kept their relationship hush for a while, until they officially announced they were an item in 2005. In 2007, the gorgeous couple tied the knot in not one, but two lavish French ceremonies. The who’s who of Hollywood, including Teri Hatcher, Jessica Alba and Ryan Seacrest attended the celebration. The power couple is still going strong, and we hope the two will start building a family soon.
Tom Brady and Giselle Buchenon
What happens when you combine the looks of Giselle and the arm of Tom? Well, we will find out this December when the newlyweds welcome their first child. The Brazilian supermodel and the New England Patriots quarterback met in 2007. Giselle had recently ended her longtime relationship with A-lister Leonardo Dicaprio, and Tom was still linked to actress Bridget Moynahan. After the super hot pair starting dating, Bridget announced she was pregnant with Tom’s baby. The couple tied the knot earlier this summer in a secret dusk wedding in Santa Monica. Although they started their relationship under some dramatic circumstances, they seem to have remained strong under the public eye.
Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson
The Yankees star certainly does have a way with the ladies, and this blonde beauty certainly has a thing for athletes. Most recently A-Rod was linked to the queen of pop, Madonna, and was thought to be the reason behind Madge’s divorce to ex-husband Guy Ritchie. Although those rumors were somewhat dispelled, it didn’t take Kate long to swoop in for the kill. Kate has even become a fixture at Yankee Stadium since the romance began. Kate is a notorious Hollywood serial dater and has been previously linked to Owen Wilson, Dax Shepherd and Lance Armstrong, and even had a six year marriage with Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson. With a record like this, we hope their love makes it into extra innings.
David and Victoria Beckham
Quite possibly the hottest couple on the planet. The former “Spice Girl” and the English soccer player have been a couple since the late 90s and their hotness has turned the world “Posh and Becks” crazy. Posh has made a name for herself as a major fashionista, and is known for her sheath dresses and sky high heels. Beck’s is one of the greatest soccer players in the world and currently moved stateside to play for the L.A. Galaxy. The couple has remained on top of its game and they break bread with some pretty high profile super couples, including Katie and Tom and Will and Jada. With any luck, the Beckham boys will grow up with the looks and talents of their super celeb parents.
