NFL Power Couples
While the NFL’s biggest stars dominate the field come fall, some of the league’s most compelling storylines revolve around their off-field partners, some of which are quite high-profile celebrities in their own right – Grammy winners, Olympic athletes, and entrepreneurs with massive fan bases of their own.
We’ve ranked the five most famous partners in football based on individual celebrity status and combined cultural impact. From world-renowned gymnasts to platinum-selling artists, these couples represent the intersection of sports and entertainment at its highest level.
5. DK Metcalf and Normani
Beginning in 2022, wide receiver DK Metcalf and singer Normani formed a star-studded relationship.
Metcalf saw Normani’s “Motivation” music video playing in the Seahawks locker room years before they even had a chance to meet and said to himself, “That’s going to be my wife.” While Normani was in a relationship at the time, they were introduced by Ciara and Russell Wilson at one of her parties, and the rest is history.
After dating for a few years, Metcalf proposed to Normani in March 2025, and the two are currently planning their wedding together.
4. Jonathan Owens and Simone Biles
It’s not all that common for a professional athlete to be significantly less famous than their spouse. However, that is pretty unavoidable when their spouse happens to be one of the most famous and decorated Olympians of all time.
Safety Jonathan Owens met his now-wife Simone Biles in 2020, and they eventually tied the knot in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in May 2023. While there’s no debate about who is the better athlete between them – Owens admits that it’s Biles, hands down – the two share a happy relationship and have been seen together at the Met Gala and various major sporting events.
Biles was recently seen at Indianapolis Colts training camp, where she supported her husband as he prepares for the 2026 NFL season.
3. Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo
Superstar running back Christian McCaffrey and model Olivia Culpo started dating in June 2019 after being set up by mutual friends. After a few years of dating, McCaffrey proposed in April 2023, and the couple married on June 29, 2024, in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.
Since then, they have started building a family together, welcoming their daughter, Colette, in July 2025. In May of 2026, they announced that they’re expecting baby number two.
Culpo, a former Miss Universe and model, regularly supports McCaffrey at games and has carved out her own media presence. Before dating McCaffrey, Culpo previously dated NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola and singer Nick Jonas.
2. Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld form one of the most star-studded couples across any sport, not just the NFL.
The pair started dating in May 2023, got engaged in November 2024, and married on May 31, 2025, in a California ceremony. Just a few months later, the couple announced their pregnancy in December 2025, and they welcomed their daughter Harper Haize Allen in April 2026.
Steinfeld is decorated in her career, receiving an Oscar nomination as an actress and winning a Grammy as a musical artist. Allen, meanwhile, has established himself as one of the top players in the NFL, winning the league’s MVP Award in 2024.
1. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift
There’s no surprise at the top of this list, as Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and global pop sensation Taylor Swift form arguably the most high-profile couple on the entire planet, not just in the NFL.
After buzz about their rumored relationship began to circulate, Swift hard-launched things when she appeared at Arrowhead Stadium in September 2023. After nearly two years of dating, the power couple announced their engagement in August 2025 with a playful Instagram caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” The engagement announcement broke the internet and became one of the most-liked posts in the platform’s history.
The couple officially got married on July 3, 2026, in a private but massive ceremony at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, New York attended by A-list celebrities and figures from the sports world.
Throughout their relationship, they have each seen the other reach the height of their careers, with Kelce winning a Super Bowl and Swift winning a Grammy for Album of the Year.
