Everyone knows the public profile of a football star's partner tends to rise alongside the player's ... and Kayla Nicole's no exception!

The media figure's rise to stardom occurred during her time with Travis Kelce, with whom she maintained an on-off relationship for several years.

We're going to see how the influencer carved out a space for herself in the world of pop culture ... and check out what she's said about her ex's relationship with Taylor Swift.

Nicole's well-trained for maintaining a career in front of the camera -- because she graduated from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California with a degree in journalism in 2018.

The influencer's been associated with various outlets over the course of her career, and she's hosted interviews for sources like ESPN and Barstool Sports.

She started her own podcast, "The Pre-Game With Kayla Nicole," in April 2025, and she's also founded a wellness brand called Tribe Therepē.

And if all that wasn't enough for you ... she's also worked as a brand ambassador, and she's partnered with companies like Revolve and Savage X Fenty.

Nicole's relationship with Kelce began all the way back in the 2010s, and she shared a now-deleted Instagram Story to let her followers know she made the first move and slid into his DMs.

The pair officially began dating in 2017 and remained together until their first split in 2020 ... the football player denied he'd cheated on Twitter (X) at the time.

Nicole and Kelce eventually reconciled, and he referred to her as "my girlfriend" and described her as "the absolute best" in a Q&A session with Chiney Ogwumike in December 2020.

The podcaster and the professional football player broke up for the second and final time in May 2022, putting an end to their love story.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few years, you know Kelce eventually moved on with Taylor Swift, becoming one of the biggest power couples out there right now.

And get this -- Nicole actually has some pretty fond feelings for the singer, who she described as "very talented" on a 2025 episode of "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test," according to Sports Illustrated.

The podcaster even went so far as to say she "really" liked her ex-boyfriend's partner while speaking about their relationship.

Emily Wilkinson's built a sizable fanbase over the course of her career as an influencer ... which probably got a cool little boost when she married Baker Mayfield!

The pair's been together since 2017, and they've become partners in both their personal and professional lives -- especially after they started a family!

Here's a look at how the influencer made a name for herself as a media figure, all while starting a family with the football player.

Wilkinson's originally from Nebraska, and she attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she graduated with a degree in business administration.

Oh, and she's not the only one in her family who's made a name for herself in media, because her brother Sammy was a major personality on the social media app Vine, and he's also embarked on a career in the music industry.

Wilkinson moved to Los Angeles after graduating from college, and she began working as a patient coordinator at a plastic surgery center in Beverly Hills.

Emily eventually left the position after her now-husband started playing for the Cleveland Browns in 2018, and she's since established herself as an influencer and social media personality.

Wilkinson and Mayfield first met in 2017 when a mutual friend set them up, after which the quarterback began following and unfollowing her on Instagram, and they eventually started messaging each other, according to ESPN.

Emily said she first thought Baker would act like the "typical playboy athlete" on their first date ... but he impressed her with his honesty and asked her about her interests -- take notes, guys!

And get this -- he moved in with Emily and her three brothers just three days after their first date!

Oh and it gets better ... because the couple got engaged after just six months of dating!

Wilkinson and Mayfield made things official when they tied the knot at a ranch in Malibu, California, in July 2019.

The pair subsequently founded a charitable organization, the Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation, in 2023.

And 2023 proved to be an even bigger year for the couple, as they announced Wilkinson's pregnancy with several photos on their Instagram accounts that December.

Jordan Love's built a solid fanbase for himself over the course of his time in professional football -- and we think his biggest supporter's got to be his wife, Ronika!

The NFL star and his partner made things official in June 2025, when they tied the knot during a beachside wedding in California, after Love established a solid connection to the athletic ambassador in the years before their ceremony.

We're going to take a look into the background of the athlete's wife and see what eventually brought them together for life.

Jordan's not the only one with athletic genes in his household, because Ronika played volleyball while attending the University of Oregon, and she was the highest-rated recruit in the school's volleyball history, according to the institution's official website.

The athlete set several records during her time with the Ducks, and she became the only player in the team's history to achieve 400 career block assists.

And in case you weren't already impressed, Ronika finished her time at Oregon as its all-time career leader in hitting percentage and block assists.

Her athletic career didn't stop her work in the classroom, either, because she graduated from the institution with a degree in journalism.

Ronika's career in volleyball continued after graduation, and she played the sport professionally with teams in France and Puerto Rico.

She eventually brought her talents back to the mainland United States, signing with the San Diego Mojo, where she plays middle blocker, in 2023.

Ronika's also taken on a role as an ambassador for League One Volleyball, with whom she started working in 2021, according to her LinkedIn.

And it looks like working in professional sports runs in her family ... because her father Ron played 12 seasons in the NFL!

Ronika and Jordan's relationship started way back in 2020, when she shared a photo with the quarterback on her Instagram account.

The pro volleyball player was featured in numerous photos and videos shared on her now-husband's Instagram account after that.

The Green Bay Packers player eventually got down on one knee and asked Ronika to marry him while they were spending time in Italy in June 2024.

"Big Brother" star Rylie Jeffries' mom is defending his actions as fans call on the show to give him the boot over his allegedly "controlling" attitude toward love interest Katherine Woodman.

TMZ caught up with Michelle Jeffries after fans of the competition show turned on him for his "abusive" behavior ... and she says they have it all wrong, reasoning he simply seems "over the top on TV."

She explains ... "They're stuck in a house with no TV, no radios, no phones. They're getting to know each other on a personal level we don't understand. He's not some obsessive stalker-type person like everyone is saying. He's got a great heart and wears it on his sleeve."

Dave Coulier is getting full support from his loved ones during his difficult cancer journey ... and that includes former "Full House" costar John Stamos.

The actor spoke with Fox 2 Detroit's Jay Towers in which he dove into his battle with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma ... specifically highlighting his wife, Melissa Bring, for being there for him each and every step of his medical treatment.

Check out the clip ... DC says difficult times like this reveal the character of the person you marry -- and, Melissa showed up for him time and time again.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have received plenty of support over the course of their respective athletic careers, and we figure they've been doing the same for each other -- because they've been married for a couple years now!

The Olympian and the professional football player have been together since 2020, and they've gone from meeting on an app to making things official within the span of a few years.

We're going to take a look at the background of the gymnast's husband and see how he ended up married to a fellow athlete.

Owens' football career stretches all the way back to his high school days, and he continued with the sport at Missouri Western State University, where he played four seasons of college ball.

The athlete's career in the NFL began in 2018, when he signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent -- although he didn't play any games with the team, as he was placed on the injured reserve list just before the regular season began.

He later signed with the Houston Texans and remained with the team until 2022, after which he spent a single season with the Green Bay Packers.

Owens landed a two-year contract with the Chicago Bears, joining the team prior to the start of its 2024 season.

The love story between Biles and Owens started off on a very modern note, as they met on dating app Raya in March 2020 ... shortly after her breakup with former boyfriend Stacey Ervin Jr. that same year.

Oh, and in case you were wondering ... she made the first move -- the NFL star told Vanity Fair his girlfriend "doesn’t like to admit" she was the one to initially reach out on the app.

The pair kept their relationship relatively low-key for a few months until they decided to go Instagram official in August 2020.

Biles and Owens haven't been shy about their romance in the years since then, as they've been featured in various photos shared on their respective Instagram accounts over the course of their relationship.

The athletes remained together for just under two years before the Owens popped the big question.

Biles and Owens waited until April 2023 to obtain a marriage license, and the gymnast shared a photo of the document on her Instagram account, just in case anyone had any second thoughts about their intentions.

Later that month, the couple tied the knot at a courthouse in Texas -- and they held a second wedding ceremony in Mexico in May 2023.

Ciara's earned herself lots of fans over the length of her multi-decade career ... although it looks like her biggest fan just might be her husband, Russell Wilson!

The thing is, the singer's spouse isn't just famous for his marriage, as he's made a name for himself over the past few years as a professional football player and entrepreneur.

We're going to take a look at the professional and personal lives of the athlete and see how he's been able to start a family with the hitmaker.

Wilson's football career began during his time at Collegiate School, a preparatory school in his home state of Virginia, where he also played basketball and baseball.

The athlete began playing for North Carolina State University in 2007, and he remained with the institution's football squad as one of its quarterbacks for three seasons.

He eventually transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and he played with the Badgers for a single season.

Wilson helped lead the team all the way to the 2012 Rose Bowl, where they were defeated by the Oregon Ducks.

Oh, and remember when we mentioned he'd played baseball when he was in high school? Turns out, those skills served him well, as he played in the minor leagues for two seasons before he was drafted into the NFL.

Wilson's career in the NFL began in 2012 as a third-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks, where he spent 10 seasons.

The athlete, who was at one point the highest-paid player in the league, led the team to the Super Bowl in 2013 and 2014, and although they won the first matchup, they lost the next.

Wilson's time with the Seahawks ended in 2021, when he moved to the Denver Broncos, where he spent two seasons, and he played for the Pittsburgh Steelers for a single season before signing with the New York Giants.

Although Wilson's highest-profile relationship has been with Ciara, he was first married to Ashton Meem from 2012 until 2014.

The professional athlete met Ciara in 2015, and they dated for just over a year before they decided to make things official and tie the knot in July 2016.

The pair didn't exactly wait for too long before starting a family, as the singer gave birth to a baby girl named Sienna in April 2017.

And the two didn't stop there, as they welcomed a son named Win in April 2020, and Ciara gave birth to a second girl named Amora in 2023 -- oh, and Wilson is also stepfather to his wife's son Future, who she shares with a rapper ... Future, to be exact!

Wilson and Ciara aren't just life partners, they're business partners too ... working on various entrepreneurial projects together over the course of their marriage.

The pair co-founded a fashion company, The House of LR&C, alongside former Lululemon Athletica CEO Christina Day in 2020, and they manage several clothing lines through their venture.

The couple also works in philanthropy, and they established a charitable organization, the Why Not You Foundation, in 2014, which was set up to provide low-income children with access to education and healthcare.

JaNa Craig might have found a new man far from the "Love Island" villa ... 'cause she was getting very cozy with rapper Key Glock in New York City!

We caught up with the reality television star Tuesday ... and, she was all over the hip hop star -- sharing lots of giggling, hand-holding and loving glimpses between them.

Craig insists they're not dating ... claiming they're just two pals -- though, as our photog points out, Craig's wearing a pretty sexy date night outfit!

Dak Prescott's got lots to be thankful for these days -- like being the most well-compensated player in the NFL with a cool $60 million annual paycheck!

But ya gotta imagine a guy like him has to be appreciative of the things he's got going on off the field -- including the family he's started with his fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos, who he's been with for a few years.

We're going to check out what the pro football player's future wife's life is like and see how they ended up making big plans for their future together.

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback's fiancée is a native of Florida, where she was raised in the Tampa Bay area.

Ramos decided to stay local when picking a college, and she attended Florida State University in Tallahassee.

Oh, and the athlete's partner's been pretty open about her fondness for the institution, as she wore FSU gear while posing for a photo with her sister Grace -- who also attended Florida State -- which was shared on Instagram back in 2022.

Following the end of her college days, she began working in the beverage industry, and she describes herself as a "Certified Wine & Spirits Specialist" in her Instagram bio.

Prescott and Ramos were first connected in September 2023, when she posted a pic featuring the quarterback on her Instagram Story.

She shared another photo with Prescott on her account two months later, and the carousel featured a shot of her attending a Cowboys game.

And if the athlete's fans weren't convinced about their relationship by then ... Ramos confirmed their connection when she revealed her pregnancy in November 2023.

The happy couple later became a family with the birth of their daughter Margaret Jane, who arrived in March 2024.

Prescott decided to make things official with his partner in October 2024, when he got down on one knee and popped the big question.

The quarterback really went the extra mile with the ring, too, as the piece he gave to Ramos was valued at roughly $1 million, according to Brides -- which is actually less than a week's salary for him!

The fun doesn't stop there, either, because the wine specialist revealed she was pregnant with a second child in December 2024! Aurora Rayne Prescott was born in May 2025.

George Kittle's built up a strong fanbase in his time with the San Francisco 49ers, and we're sure his wife's Claire's right there with the rest of his fans!

The tight end and the fitness trainer have been together for well over a decade, and their connection's remained strong throughout George's career in the NFL, which started in 2017.

We're taking a look into the background of the athlete's wife to see how their connection's remained strong ever since their college days.

Claire's worked in the health and fitness industry for nearly a decade, according to her LinkedIn, and she's been a trainer ever since 2016.

She also taught barre classes -- think of it like hardcore ballet meets gym workout -- while she was living with George in Iowa.

And all her hard work hasn't just been for her professional life, as she entered her first bikini fitness competition in 2018.

Claire shared a post on her personal blog following the event to let her fans know she was feeling "proud of myself" despite not taking home the top prize at the competition.

George and Claire's story goes way, way back -- all the way to their college days, to be exact, when they met while attending the University of Iowa.

While the two didn't exactly hit it off their first meeting -- when George complimented his now-wife's bright pink moped helmet, according to ESPN -- they began dating a few months later.

And the NFL star's not the only athlete in their household, as Claire was a member of the University of Iowa's basketball team for the entire length of her college career, up until her final season, when she left the team in order to deal with a recurring knee injury.

Remember how we said George and Claire had been together ever since college? So, it turns out the NFL star decided to take things a step further when he proposed to the trainer at a beach in Santa Cruz, California, in August 2018.

The pair locked things down when in an intimate wedding ceremony in Iowa City the following April, which was only attended by their immediate family members.

George and Claire waited for two years before holding a larger ceremony at their home in Nashville in April 2021.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet haven't gone their separate ways ... 'cause it looks like the reality star and beauty mogul went to visit the actor as he films 'Dune 3' in Hungary!

A small coffee shop in Budapest posted a picture Tuesday of two employees with the celebs ... claiming Jenner and Chalamet walked into Budapest Baristas, to their utter shock.

They wrote in the caption they were totally confused by the couple's sudden appearance -- with the shock definitely showing on their faces in the photo. They say Kylie and Timothée were very kind, and they thanked the two for coming into their little shop.

Hailee Steinfeld's played more than a few roles in her life ... although it looks like she'll be filling the role of Josh Allen's wife for way longer than a normal shoot!

The actress and the NFL star have been married ever since May 2025, although her love story with the athlete stretches back a few years -- and her career took off way before she met the football star.

Here's a look at how the performer established herself in Hollywood ... and made things official with her dream guy after two years of dating.

Hailee started her acting career before she reached her teenage years, and she really made her bones starring alongside Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon in "True Grit," earning an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her work in the film.

The performer's career ramped up with various supporting roles in flicks like "Pitch Perfect 2" and "Ender's Game" before taking main parts in "Bumblebee" and "Sinners."

She's also used to working on the small screen, starring in shows like "Dickinson" and "Hawkeye," just to name a few.

Oh yeah, and she's also appeared in several music videos in between her film and TV shoots ... we'll explain more in a bit.

So, it turns out Hailee can do more than just act, because she's maintained a career as a singer ever since her teenage years.

The performer dropped her debut EP, titled "Haiz," in 2015, and the release was followed by the debut of numerous singles over the next few years.

Hailee's second EP, "Half Written Story," debuted in 2020, and she's gone on to drop several more singles since.

Remember those music videos we talked about earlier? Yeah, she's starred in more than a few for her tracks, and she's also appeared in videos for artists like Benny Blanco and Imagine Dragons, too!

Josh's love story with Hailee starts all the way back in 2023, after he'd broken up with his childhood friend and former girlfriend, Brittany Williams.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback was first linked to the actress in May 2023, when they were pictured on what appeared to be a date in New York City.

A source spoke to People the same month and confirmed Josh and Hailee were a couple, stating they had been "having fun" despite their connection being relatively "new" at the time.

The football star waited until the following July to make his relationship with the singer Instagram official -- although hey, they set things in stone not long after then!

Hailee and Josh let their fans know they were planning on getting married in November 2024, when they shared photos from his proposal on their respective Instagram accounts.

There was just one more thing to do before the nuptials, though -- they made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 14th NFL Honors ceremony in February 2025.

Hailee and Josh made things official three months later, when they held a wedding ceremony in Santa Barbara, California.

Drake Bell's marriage to his wife is "irretrievably broken" after 4 years together and one child ... according to the former child actor's divorce petition.

As we first reported, Bell -- who shot to stardom in Nickelodeon's "Drake and Josh" show -- filed for divorce last week in Seminole County, Florida … even though Janet Bell's already filed a 2023 divorce petition in Los Angeles County.

In his petition, Drake says their marriage is “irretrievably broken” and he plans to hammer out a settlement with Janet for "equitable distribution" of all marital assets, liabilities and child support.

Brooks Nader is keeping the heat on her ex, Gleb Savchenko -- and she's promising fans will see the proof of his promiscuity for themselves on her family's upcoming Hulu show.

We got the Sports Illustrated model out shopping on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills on Monday, and asked about the buzz surrounding her upcoming reality series with her sisters, "Love Thy Nader."

In the show's trailer, Brooks is seen addressing claims Gleb cheated during their relationship -- and she tells us she didn't exactly choose to share it ... 'cause she says he flat-out cheated.

Sha'Carri Richardson's earned herself lots of fans over the years ... and it looks like her boyfriend Christian Coleman is part of that group.

Richardson, an Olympic track and field star, and Coleman, a sprinter, became a well-known couple within the athletic world ... although a troubling incident at an airport sparked speculation about the state of their relationship within their respective fan bases.

We're going to take a look at Coleman's background ... and see how his girlfriend responded after facing backlash for her troubling actions.

Coleman's originally from the Atlanta area of Georgia, and he attended college at the University of Tennessee, where he majored in sports management, according to the school's official website.

The sprinter joined the institution's track and field program, and he competed in numerous events over the length of his college career.

He won plenty of awards while competing with the Volunteers, and he became the NCAA Indoor 60-meter champion in 2017.

Coleman's professional career began later in 2017, when he decided to forgo his last year of eligibility with the University of Tennessee and signed an endorsement deal with Nike.

Coleman raised his public profile further when he began competing internationally, and he became world champion in the 100-meter dash at the 2019 World Athletics Championships.

The thing is, his career briefly came to a halt in 2019 when he was issued a two-year ban from competition in 2020 after racking up three Whereabouts failures for anti-doping tests over the course of a 12-month period.

Coleman's ban was eventually reduced to 18 months, according to Sports Illustrated, although it still prevented him from competing at the Tokyo Summer Olympics in Japan.

He eventually returned to competition, and he made an appearance at the 2023 World Athletics Championship in Budapest, Hungary.

Coleman was photographed embracing Richardson at the Championship, and they eventually began dating.

However, friction between the two became apparent when Ricardson got physical with her boyfriend during a trip through the Seattle-Tacoma airport in Washington in July 2025, and she was caught calling him a "coward" on camera.

The Olympic gold medalist was ultimately charged with fourth-degree domestic violence assault and spent almost an entire day in jail before she was released.

Madison Beer and Justin Herbert are sending a charge through social media right now ... getting romance rumors swirling just weeks before the NFL regular season kicks off.

The pop star and the Pro-Bowl QB were photographed together at what looks like a shoot for one of Madison's new music videos in Los Angeles ... chatting and smiling while Beer occasionally introduced Herbert to members of the crew.

Beer looked angelic on set ... literally, she's got angel wings and a tiny white dress on. Herbert dressed more casually in a blue sweater and cap -- flashing a shy grin while in conversation.
