Success in one’s professional realm can attract a beautiful partner. Great and inspiring athletes are magnets for bachelorettes (and bachelors). At the same time, they can be the site of a catastrophic romance. We have included exes, too, since a romance lost is not a wasted one.

We have put together some famous athletes with their sometimes equally famous wives, exes, or girlfriends (and, in one case, husband). Here are the ultimate package deals, or ones that have expired. Do they inspire us as much as their prowess on the field? Read to find out!

La Reina Shaw – Ex of Cam Newton

Cam Newton shares a son with La Reina Shaw, an Instagram model, who is called Ceasar. This would have been all good news if he was not already in a relationship with Kia Proctor. Sadly, the couple split, and it is particularly saddening given that they had five children together.

Though they are not together, Newton and Shaw both share incredible amounts of love for their year-old son, and they never shied away from showcasing it on social media. In 2021, however, Newton was released by the Patriots and is now a free-agent quarterback.
