Athletes marrying celebrities

I'd argue Gisele is far more famous than Brady, but yeah, I think it's probably more difficult for a celebrity to have a successful marriage with a non-celebrity (Matt Damon being the exception that proves the rule).

 

See also:

- "Turkey" Mike Donlin and his wife — the far more famous Broadway actress Mabel Hite, married 1906.



- Leo Durocher and Laraine Day, married 1948.

- And closer to home, White Sox teammates Buck Weaver and "Death Valley" Jim Scott married two of the four Cook Sisters, a noted vaudeville singing quartet.

 

I'd believe Chipper Jones' marriages and his current relationship were/are to non-celebrities.

 

Look at it again, Einstein.

I used both spellings, for effect.

In the first quote, I was quoting him directly. He meant "Kris."

In the second quote, I was quoting the way I heard it: "Chris."

 

Joe and Marilyn. Who used whom?

Lance Alworth and Joey Heatherton, was that a marriage or just a thing?

And wasn't the actress who played 24's "Kim Bauer" known for dating a number of NHL players?

 

Yes, as noted...

 

Phaneuf and Cuthbert? Hell, for all I knew, that was some new-fangled, same-sex betrothal. Guess I never knew her beyond "Kim Bauer" or, alternatively, "horrible actress."

 

Gisele is more famous than Tom Brady... Richer too... Based on his endorsements, she handles those for him as well...

Not that any of that is bad. He probably gets paid more for a print ad than Peyton Manning gets for a Papa Johns campaign.

 

Bo Belinsky was all over those celeb chicks back in the day -- Mamie Van Doren, Ann-Margaret, Connie Stevens and even Ginger herself --
Tina Louise. He eventually married a Playboy Playmate of the Year (not for long, though).

 

Aaryn? Jesus, I had to look twice because on first glance I read "Aryan," as in Brotherhood and teardrop tattoos and prison sex. Her parents ought to be slapped for that.

 

It's actually quite a common spelling down south...

 

Still, fuck that.
