Could we be adding another couple to the mix of significant others in which one is in the sports world and the other is in entertainment or pop culture?
It’s possible. We wrote this as rumors and reports of Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce and music megastar Taylor Swift swirled in the fall of 2023. But it’s always a good time to talk about the power couples we’ve seen over the years that have made the ultimate crossover in sports and culture.
So here’s a look at some of the biggest pairs of names who — as of publishing this — are still together, in no particular order:
