We call Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback for 2022, the unreputed MVC (Most Valuable Cutie), as he tears it up on the streets and adorns us in the sheets. Sadly, while we can enjoy the former, we cannot fantasize about the latter. He is, and we can hear the breaking hearts from our screen: taken.
Since college, the 25-year-old (25? How young are these guys?) has been taken for a while, dating his long-time girlfriend, Olivia Holzmacher! If anything says loyalty like that, then it is a long-term commitment! And good on them!

Their romance started in Dallas, coinciding with Elliott’s early days with the Cowboys. While wedding bells haven’t chimed yet, and there are no mini-Elliotts running around, their relationship has weathered its share of touchdowns and fumbles.
In 2019, the couple hit pause, unfollowing each other on social media—a digital breakup, if you will. Yet, like any good comeback story, they reconciled, stronger than ever. Halle’s bond with Elliott’s family is tighter than his grip on a football; his mother affectionately calls her “daughter-in-love.”

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen
One of the NFL’s greatest players of all time, Tom Brady and model Gisele Bündchen, are a picture-perfect couple who met each other through a blind date set up by a mutual. They began dating in 2016 and got married in February 2009 in California in a quiet affair.
We know there’s no perfect relationship, and according to Brady himself, they’ve had their ups and downs, but they always manage to work out their differences and get even more closer. The lovers have two kids together, namely Benjamin Rein and Vivian Lake. Brady and Bündchen, in December 2020, bought a home in Indian Creek, Florida.
