While everyone has been talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ever since their relationship became known to the public back in September last year, there have been some other NFL stars who dated high-profile celebrities over the years.

Now that we have already mentioned Taylor and Travis, and everyone obviously knows about them dating unless one is living under a rock, let us have a look at other famous celebrities and NFL players who dated each other. 

Tom Brady (Gisele Bundchen, Irina Shayk, and Bridget Moynahan) 

Tom Brady's 13-year-long marriage to supermodel Gisele Bundchen is not something people don't know about. However, their powerful relationship was broken in 2022 when they decided to end their marriage. 

Brady and the Brazilian model, the richest celebrity couple of 2011, according to Forbes, welcomed two kids together, Benjamin and Vivian. 

Ahead of marrying Gisele in 2009, the seven-time Super Bowl champion was in a relationship with Bridget Moynahan from 2004 to 2006. Their initial romance emerged when they were both at their career highs. 

The S*x and the City star appeared on several red carpet events together, including the 2005 Vanity Fair Oscars party and the Met Gala. However, in December 2006, the former couple surprised everyone as they ended their three-year relationship amicably. Brady shares a son with the actress, who was born after their split; however, none of them were aware of her pregnancy, and it was a surprise for both of them.

The rumor of them dating started back in 2023, when the two were captured together, close in the Hall of Famer's car, as per People. The Russian model and the retired footballer were also reported to be making time for each other whenever they could, despite their busy schedules. 

Brady was also rumored to be dating Kim Kardashian, but the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star rubbished the reports when she attended the former quarterback's Netflix Roast Special. 

Aaron Rodgers (Olivia Munn, Shailene Woodley, and Danica Patrick) 

Aaron Rodgers has dated several actresses and personalities from the sports world. He is currently seeing long-time friend Mallory Edens, daughter of Wesley Robert Edens, the co-owner of NBA team Milwaukee Bucks. 

The 40-year-old was in a highly publicized relationship with Olivia Munn after the two initially met at the Academy of Country Music Awards to present awards together.
