The National Football League (NFL) has gotten more interesting in the last year due to all of the celebrity relationships that have formed. There are 32 teams in the NFL, and the NFL players’ wives and girlfriends have sparked more interest in the National Football League than any game that has been played before.
There are many couples that people love to follow, but the biggest power couples include: Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift, Hailee Steinfield & Josh Allen, Alix Earle & Braxton Berrios, Ciara & Russell Wilson, Simone Biles & Jonathan Owens, Isaac Rochell & Allison Kucharczyk.
The relationship responsible for soaring the NFL’s ratings up is the relationship between Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift. Their relationship has been used by the NFL to make their viewing larger, and it’s working. The Chief games have been viewed by a maximum of 27 million viewers, which is the normal amount for the Super Bowl. According to Front Office Sports, the Chiefs-Bears game (the game Taylor was present), was the most watched NFL game on any network for football. There was an average of 24.3 million viewers on FOX.
Recently, on the NFL page (nfl.com) they have a specific tab where a person can view and read about the relationships of the players. Also, on their TikTok, there are multiple clips of the players meeting up with their partners after a game. The NFL uses these relationships to promote the league and create more of an audience.
These couples often gain attention and popularity, adding to the league’s overall buzz and culture. They become role models for fans and showcase the dynamic between sports and relationships. It’s interesting to see how their partnerships off the field can have an impact on the league’s image and fan engagement.
