As the 2023 football season rolls on, all eyes are on the 32 teams across the NFL and the players on the field. But, for many of these athletes, their life is much more than touchdowns and field goals. When they're not tackling opponents and running plays, they're going home to their equally accomplished significant others.

From long-term married couples to those "getting to know each other," here are some of the hottest NFL celebrity couples in the game.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce

After Travis Kelce gushed about catching Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and attempting to meet the singer backstage in July, rumors began swirling about what might be going on between the superstar pair.

Just days after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed that he had extended an invite to Swift to catch a game in September, the Grammy winner was spotted in his suite at Arrowhead Stadium for a Sunday game. Swift was seen laughing and cheering alongside Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce, throughout the game, and after the Chiefs' victory, she left the venue with the NFL star in his convertible.

The two were spotted cozying up at a postgame party that evening, and the following week, Swift brought her posse of friends along to see Kelce's game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

While neither party has confirmed an official relationship, following Swift's first appearance at Kelce's game on Sept. 24, the two-time Super Bowl champion said: "I’m enjoying life and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend."

Neither Hailee Steinfeld nor Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen have publicly confirmed the status of their relationship. However, Allen did not push back when the host of the Pardon My Take podcast's host referred to the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse actress as his girlfriend during an August 2023 episode.

The two first sparked romance rumors in May and in late June, a source told PEOPLE that the two "are still dating and getting to know each other."

In late September, Steinfeld stopped by the Leveled Up Buffalo shop in East Aurora, New York with Allen's mom as the NFL season rolled along.

Braxton Berrios and Alix Earle

Though the pair first sparked romance rumors in March 2023, TikTok star Alix Earle and Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios weren't seen together publicly until May. In June, Earle said "I don't have a bf" in a TikTok comment from a person who said they saw the pair together and weeks later doubled down responding to another comment about the mystery man in her videos writing "we're not even 'dating'."

In July, the duo made their red carpet debut, seemingly confirming their relationship, though a source told PEOPLE later that month that while "maybe in traditional Hollywood terms, that could be interpreted as a 'hard launch' of a relationship, that’s not what it was at all."

The source added: "Both have continued to keep things casual. The two have always agreed they were not exclusive or official."

On Sept. 24, Earle showed her support from the sidelines of the Miami Dolphins game against the Denver Broncos, sporting a Dolphins jersey with Berrios' name on it. She has also dubbed Berrios as "NFL Man" when chatting about him on social media.

The singer and Denver Broncos quarterback welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Sienna, in April 2017 and followed up with son Win, in April 2020. (Ciara also shares son Future Zahir Wilburn with rapper Future.)

In February 2022, the Green Bay Packers safety got down on one knee and proposed to Biles — news the couple announced the day after Valentine's Day.

"THE EASIEST YES," Biles captioned a slideshow shared to Instagram. "I can't wait to spend forever & ever with you, you're everything I dreamed of and more! let's get married FIANCÉ 💍🥺🥲🤎 @jowens_3."

The couple had not one, but two, weddings in 2023 — the first, an intimate courthouse ceremony in Texas, and the second, a luxurious ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Though this year marks the first season Tom Brady won't be suiting up after 23 seasons in the league, the former quarterback's love life has kept fans on their toes following his divorce from Gisele Bündchen after 13 years of marriage. In July 2023, the football star was linked to model Irina Shayk when they were spotted cozying up in Brady's car after a night together.

In August 2023, after the two were spotted in London a source told PEOPLE: "He is her dream guy. She loves dating him. They work around their schedules and meet up wherever they can. Irina doesn’t mind traveling to see him. She is very excited about their relationship.”

By November 2011, the two were engaged and just under a year later, announced they were expecting their first child together. Seven months after their first daughter, Maxwell, was born, the lovebirds revealed they were expecting their second baby.

The two got married in July 2014, a little over a year after welcoming son Ace Knute. In March 2019, the pair welcomed their third child together, daughter Birdie Mae.
