Football fanatics! It’s no secret that athletes such as Tom Brady, Jay Cutler and Aaron Rodgers love football, but there are also plenty of stars that enjoy rooting for their favorite teams from the sidelines, too — or from the comfort of their homes.
Whether they’re suiting up in the jerseys of their favorite players every Sunday afternoon or going all out for their fantasy football league, Tinseltown’s finest has plenty of love for the game.
Nick Lachey, for instance, has been known to cheer on his team from the couch alongside son Camden, while John Legend does his fantasy drafts in his home while surrounded by daughter Luna’s toys, making it a family affair.
Others, like Eric Decker, have given up their days on the field, but not their affinity for the sport; Jessie Decker says she and her husband watch the game religiously.
There are also plenty of A-list women in the stadiums’ stands, such as Gisele Bündchen, who is married to former New England Patriots quarterback Brady. The athlete played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for two years before briefly retiring in February 2022 — he returned for season 3 with the team that same year — and his wife was a stadium staple for decades.
Kristin Cavallari, for her part, was hard to miss at Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins games when her then-husband was a quarterback. (She and Cutler called it quits in April 2020 after seven years of marriage.)
You’re also likely to find celebs such as Alyssa Milano — the Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later alum created her own line of fan apparel for women called Touch — rooting for their teams.
Then there’s E! News anchor Maria Menounos, who’s no stranger to the stadium Jumbotron: She has been to nearly 20 Super Bowls, after all!

The model was a sideline staple at New England Patriots games for 20 years before rooting for her husband and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ahead of Brady’s brief 2022 retirement, Bündchen told the Associated Press that she only has eyes for her man on the field.
“At night if my husband is watching TV and watching football, I have my little book and I put something in my ears so I don’t hear it and I put my light [on] and have my book and I’m like, ‘Ohhh,’” she said. “He’s feeding his soul and that’s important to him to watch football. I only want to watch if I’m watching him.”

After attending the NFC Championship game in January 2020, the actor posted a photo of himself watching the game, wearing an “NFL” hat and quoted his Parks and Recreation character. ”I LITERALLY love football! And teams. Every one of them! They are all wonderful! Go teams! -Chris Traeger,” he wrote via Twitter.

Paul Rudd
The Ant-Man actor is a diehard Kansas City Chiefs fan (he went to college in Kansas) who will do “whatever it takes” to help his team win. “It is the most exciting time I think, right now to be a Chiefs fan, in a long time,” Rudd told Good Morning Football ahead of the 2019 season, which resulted in them making it to the Super Bowl in February 2020.

In 2019, she was rooting for the Tennessee Titans, who made it to the AFC Championship game. The year prior, she posted a throwback photo of herself wearing a football jersey from 1992 in honor of the Super Bowl.

Eric Decker
Though the former NFL wide receiver announced that he was retiring from the sport in August 2018, there’s no love lost for him when it comes to the game. “He loves football so much,” his wife told Us Weekly exclusively in January. “So he’ll be getting into, like, the commentating world … You’ll be seeing him soon doing all that fun stuff.” She also shared that they had upped their viewership, saying, “He’s sitting there, studying everything, and I’m like, ‘OK! More football! I thought football wouldn’t be on anymore, but it’s still on! And we’re watching it even more now!’”

Kristin Cavallari
Like Bündchen, Cavallari was always a super supportive football wife, repping her quarterback husband, Cutler, from the stands first in Chicago, and then in Miami until he retired for good after the 2017 season. (Cavallari and Cutler split in April 2020.)
The reality star even has an appreciation for more than one player, posting an Instagram photo of herself with former Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino in October 2017, writing, “Legend.”

Mark Wahlberg
The Boston native is a known diehard Patriots fan, even making a speech at their pregame ceremony celebration in September 2017. “PATRIOTS FANS! We’ve seen a lot of incredible moments over the past 15 years and witnessed a modern-day dynasty born before our very eyes,” he told the crowd. “We are now going to relive these historic moments and honor the championships that have come before.” Wahlberg also attended the 2017 Super Bowl, though he left the game early to tend to his sick son.

Colton Underwood
The season 23 Bachelor played college football for Illinois State before flirting with the NFL. (He was signed by the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2014 before being waived and placed on injured reserve. He also practiced with the Oakland Raiders, but was released in 2016 after injury struck.) “I had a serious shoulder issue and told myself I should get the surgery done. I couldn’t keep playing on it,” he told the JournalStar in June 2017. He’s admittedly gotten a bit rusty since then, telling Us Weekly in January 2019, “For being a former football player, I don’t actually follow the game very closely anymore.”

Alyssa Milano
The Charmed alum loves the game so much, she has her own line of football apparel for women called Touch. The self-proclaimed diehard New York Giants fan, whose father-in-law is the head of the “chain gang” (the crew that manages signal poles on the sidelines) for the team, also provided the commentary for a flag football game for wives and girlfriends of NFL players that took place in February 2017. “You how people sing in the shower? Sometimes I like to pretend I’m doing color commentary for the games,” she told NFL.com.

Kate Hudson
The Almost Famous actress and her big brother, Oliver Hudson, are mega fans when it comes to the Denver Broncos. When they made it to the Super Bowl in 2016, the two siblings, who grew up in Colorado and Los Angeles, had to be there to root on the team. “To be here with my bro is just as sweet as can be! Missing Wyatt, thinking of you!!! #GoBroncos #SuperBowl50,” the Fabletics founder shared via Instagram in February 2016.
The brother-sister duo were also in attendance at Super Bowl LVI when the Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals in February 2022.

Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg
These two may see eye to eye on a lot, but when it comes to their sports teams, “forget about it.” “It doesn’t cause friction,” the Jenny McCarthy Show host, who reps her hometown of Chicago, told NBC Sports in April 2016 of her husband, a Patriots fan. “He just made me appreciate a different team.” The former Playboy model said their rivalry actually made her like the sport on a deeper level. “It helped me like football more, because I was so hyper-focused on just Chicago, that I appreciate what [Patriots General Manager Bill] Belichick has done,” McCarthy said. The television personality also rooted for the Patriots while attending the Super Bowl with the restaurateur in 2015.

The Blue Crush actress has her own drinking game that she plays whenever she watches her favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys, play. Every time the team scores she takes a shot of whiskey, the actress told Jimmy Fallon in 2015.

Jessica Simpson
Simpson was dubbed a “jinx” by many in December 2008 while rooting for her former man, retired Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, from the stands in a pink jersey during the team’s worst game of the season. Her ex-boyfriend John Mayer stuck up for her at the time, writing on his blog, “That girl loves Texas more than you know. It’s one of her most defining traits as a person. So please don’t try and take that away from her. (You probably wouldn’t be able to, but it’s less work for all involved.)” The fashion designer clearly wasn’t too put off from the sport; she went on to marry former NFL tight end Eric Johnson in 2014.
