There’s nothing that screams power couple in the sports and culture world like a celebrity and an athlete getting together (we’ve listed 12 of those pairings for you!).

That’s what we’re here to cover. A look at some of the biggest athlete-athlete power couples that we’ve seen over the years.
So here’s a look at some of the biggest pairs of names who — as of publishing this — are still together, in no particular order:
