Get ready to swoon! Some of the hottest and most talented athletes in the game are stealing hearts both on and off the field. From football to basketball, surfing to racing, these superstars are making waves and scoring big wins.
Travis Kelce, Neymar Jr., Steph Curry, and Shohei Ohtani are just a few of the genetically and athletically gifted players who have been heating up their respective leagues. And in honor of PEOPLE’s 2023 Sexiest Man Alive issue, let’s take a closer look at these dreamy athletes.
Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, not only scored a Super Bowl win but also won over the heart of pop icon Taylor Swift. Talk about a double victory! And let’s not forget about his brother Jason Kelce, who may have lost the Super Bowl but is still a champion dad and total hottie.
Simone Biles also hit the jackpot when she married NFL player Jonathan Owens. This Green Bay Packers safety is definitely a catch! And speaking of catches, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios has been making headlines thanks to his relationship with TikTok sensation Alix Earle. While they may be keeping things casual for now, their steamy birthday post suggests things could be heating up.
In the world of football, Joe Burrow has been making waves as the Cincinnati Bengals’ quarterback. Not only did he lead his team to the Super Bowl, but he’s also been winning hearts with his dashing good looks. Sorry ladies, he’s been dating his college sweetheart Olivia Holzmacher since 2017.
Lionel Messi, the Argentinian soccer star, is not only a tough competitor on the field but also a super-dad to his three sons. And Neymar Jr., the Brazilian soccer pro, has been scoring goals and stealing hearts throughout his career. He recently welcomed a newborn daughter with his girlfriend.
Heung-Min Son, the South Korean forward, has been ranked as one of the best male footballers in the world. While he’s currently single, he’s focused on his career and plans to settle down after retiring from the field.
In the world of tennis, Grigor Dimitrov is serving up some hot shots and good looks. And Matteo Berrettini made history in 2022 as the first man born in the 1990s to reach the quarter-finals in all four major tournaments.
Stephen Curry, the point guard for the Golden State Warriors, has not only led his team to NBA championships but also stolen hearts as a family man. He and his wife, Ayesha Curry, share three adorable kids who have stolen the show at press conferences.
Jayson Tatum, the Boston Celtics star, is another NBA dad we can’t get enough of. He recently opened up about balancing parenthood and professional sports, revealing that the best part is bonding with his son over games.
Jimmy Butler, the Miami Heat small forward, is not only crushing it on the court but also has some new career goals: recording a country album. Talk about a double threat!
And last but certainly not least, Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Angels star, has earned his nickname “Shotime” with his impressive skills both on offense and defense. And if that’s not enough to win you over, Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers is also a multi-sport athlete who bowled a perfect game at the World Series of Bowling.
These athletes are not only genetically gifted but also stealing hearts left and right. So let’s cheer them on and appreciate their talents both on and off the field!
