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!

Nicole Pechanec – Wife of Andrew Luck

Nicole Pechanec and Andrew Luck are school sweethearts. They met while they were studying at Standford University; both of them were athletes at the time. For Luck, it would be the start of his football career.

Andrew went on to be an accomplished footballer for Indianapolis Colts but was booked for retiring in 2019. Pechanec then moved into the sports business world as a TV producer for NBC and ESPN. Luck, going under the radar, made his comeback in 2021 for the Colts. Perhaps his wife, Pechanec, will have something to say about that!
