The Kardashians certainly have a soft spot for NBA players and athletes in general. The Canadian born Tristan Thompson Tristan played for the Cleveland Cavaliers before making it to the 2011 NBA draft. A few years later, in 2016, Khloe and Tristan met and started dating.
In 2018, Khloe gave birth to their daughter, True. Unfortunately for the couple, things started getting shaky and they have been on and off again since. For now, things might be off, but at least they are co-parenting, so who knows!
Shakira & Gerard Pique
Famous singer, songwriter, and performer Shakira dated, almost to the point of marrying, professional soccer player for FC Barcelona and member of the 2011 Spanish national team Gerard Pique. Their relationship was quite a long one by entertainment industry standards, which is even more surprising when you learn that she is ten years older than Pique.
The two officially met on the set of Shakira's music video for the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup entitled "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" Reports say that they hit it off pretty well right after then. Two kids and about 11 years later, the couple decided to call it quits.
Jennifer Lopez & Alex Rodriguez
Pop superstar J.Lo has had her pick over the years. From Hollywood A-listers like Ben Affleck, Latino crooners like Mark Antony, backup dancers and just a few randoms here and there, she has settled for the baseball legend Alex Rodriguez. While the singer's career has been very much in the spotlight, Rodriguez might only be familiar to baseball fans.
He was the chief member of Yankees Wolrd Series in 2009. He was also the highest-paid man in baseball of all time. Together, that is one insanely rich couple. The lovebirds met in 2017 and were engaged by 2019. Sadly, they never followed through with it. These days, Jen is happily married to Ben Affleck.
Alani Vasquez and Carmelo Anthony
Born Carmelo Kyam Anthony, this NBA star has been dubbed an All-Star 10 times. No doubt that success attracts success, because Alani Vasquez, better known as La La is a producer, TV reporter and even an author of a New York Times Best Seller.
The two got engaged on Christmas day in 2004 and 3 years later on March 7, 2007, they had their first son, Kiyan Carmelo Anthony. By 2010 they were married. It's safe to say that they had their fair share of issues. The couple has since filed for divorce but in the end, decided to not go through with it. Looks like they're trying to take time to work things out.
Dion Phaneuf and Elisha Cuthbert
Ice hockey champion, Dion Phaneuf's has played for just about every team out there including the Calgary Flames, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators and the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League. This makes him an unrestricted free agent, free to "play the field", or the ice-rink in his case. While he does this professionally, he certainly doesn't do that personally.
Phaneuf has been married to Hollywood actress and fellow Canadian, Elisha Cuthbert since 2013. The couple had a beautiful Canadian wedding in Prince Edward Island. In 2017, the two had their first baby, a daughter.
