1. Georgina Rodríguez and Cristiano Ronaldo

Image source/ The SunIf you have watched the recent Netflix series, you’ll be familiar with Georgina. She oozes glamour and is easily one of the best-looking footballer wives out there. Amazingly, despite her fame and fortune, she remains extremely down to earth and prioritises bringing up her children to be respectful and grateful for everything they have. When she's not being a mum, she’s a model and a beautiful one at that!

Meet Lauren Hashian - a 37 year old singer and mother to his two young daughters. Music runs in Lauren’s blood - her late father was drummer for rock band Boston.

They met back in high school - Savannah was a cheerleader for the rival school’s squad but that didn’t stop the pair from hooking up.

The pair’s first date was in Outback Steakhouse, and the rest, as they say, is history.

6. Erica Herman and Tiger Woods

She used to work at a bar called Blue Martini, where Tiger often visited.

9. Victoria and David Beckham

Image source/ Vanity FairYou couldn’t write a list of glamorous sporting wives without mention of Victoria and David! Arguably the original WAG, Victoria Beckham needs little introduction.

12. Annie Ilonzeh and Shaquille O'Neal

Image source/ TechstryNBA great Shaquille O’Neal keeps his love life on the down low.

Before acting, Annie was awarded a basketball scholarship at the University of Texas. With such obvious mutual interests, I think it’s safe to say Annie, He’s Definitely Into You!

13. Antonella Roccuzzo and Lionel Messi

Image source/ Daily StarWhether you’re team Ronaldo or team Messi, there’s no denying that the Argentinian player is one of the all time greatest. But it wasn’t the fame and fortune that attracted Messi’s wife, Antonella, to her husband.

The Spanish football player’s actions are in the spotlight because just weeks after separating from the Columbian Hips Don’t Lie stunner, he has been spotted with a new woman. Poor Shakira - she was often touted as one of the most attractive sports wives, we hope she goes on to find romance anew.

18. Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson

Image source/ EonlineCleveland Cavaliers player Tristan Thompson has had an on-off relationship with Kardashian bombshell Khloe for many years. The pair even have a daughter together - True.

It comes at a difficult time for Deidre who earlier this year had brain surgery to remove a tumour. Just 3 days post-op, Albert announced that he was filing for divorce. I’m not one to judge but that seems a little too close to me - what do you think?

22. Cassandra Anderson and Kevin Durant

Image source/ BlacksportsonlineBrooklyn Nets’ star player Kevin Durant has been one heck of an eligible NBA bachelor in recent years. Well, we’ll have to keep dreaming girls as his latest girlfriend, Cassandra Anderson, is one heck of a catch. She’s a real estate agent, working in LA.
