What happens when love blossoms between a sports star and musician?

Since legendary baseball player Joe DiMaggio married Marilyn Monroe in 1954, the worlds of showbiz and sports have continually intertwined.

From Victoria and David Beckham's relationship to Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez's former affair, sports stars are just as big as movie stars these days.

And no sports and music crossover has received more attention in recent weeks than the blossoming relationship between NFL star Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.

However, things don't always look as rosy as they seem when both these worlds collide.

Looking at the recent 'curse' fans say Shakira attracted Gerard Pique after their divorce and how Ashley and Cheryl Cole's marriage fell apart – could these be cautionary tales for Kelce and Swift's budding romance?

Gerard Pique and Shakira dated for eleven years before splitting last summer

If we start by looking at former Barcelona defender Pique and the 'Queen of Latin Music', they were all at the top of their respective industries when they decided to tie the knot.

To this day, there is not much that Colombian singer Shakira has yet to achieve as she has several number one hits including songs like Hips Don't Lie, Beautiful Liar and Waka Waka (This time for Africa).

Pique also has 31 major club titles to his name – including nine LaLiga trophies and three Champions Leagues – after a glittering career with Barcelona, ​​which also saw him win the World Cup and European Championship for Spain.

However, since their split in June 2022 after dating for 11 years together, things haven't been smooth sailing for the ex-footballer after he retired last year.

The 36-year-old has seen his staggering investment in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) for the Davis Cup fail spectacularly.

He implemented a new model that was unpopular with traditional fans of the tournament, while several of the major sponsors also dropped out.

There was also little attendance for the new format, with other major players not participating.

Shakira has constantly teased her ex-partner over the past year and even released a 'diss track'

There are claims that Shakira has a history of swearing and is responsible for Pique's struggles

Kosmos, the company that Pique founded, subsequently began struggling to justify the investment, with reports claiming they lost tens of millions of dollars on the 2019 event alone.

Pique – who is a huge fan of the sport and idolizes Rafa Nadal – then saw the deal collapse in January, with the Times reporting how the former Barcelona star is in the middle of a legal battle with the ITF at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

To add to his misery, he did that was constantly attacked by his ex-partner, especially with the tune she developed after he went public with his new partner, 24-year-old Clara Chia, which won best pop song at the Latin Grammy Awards in Seville.

The song, called 'Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53', claimed that Pique had traded a Ferrari for a Twingo and a Rolex for a Casio, while the text read: 'I'm too good for you – and that's why you're with someone like you.'

A renowned psychic named Mhoni Vidente even claimed that the Colombian singer placed a curse on the Spanish team after their exit in the last 16 stage of the 2022 World Cup.

Then on to Ashley and Cheryl Cole: their relationship turns out not to be good reading for Kelce and Swift either.

Cheryl was thrust into the spotlight after her win on ITV's Popstars in 2002 and rose to fame on Girls Aloud and X Factor.

Meanwhile, Ashley Cole, the England international and former Arsenal and Chelsea left-back, was at the top of his game.

The 42-year-old would win the Premier League, Champions League and four FA Cups in a brilliant career.

The couple first met in 2004 and tied the knot two years later, with their luck seemingly running out of steam after Ashley reportedly won a six-figure National Lottery prize, with that iconic image of them in white clothes.

But their romance collapsed in 2010. After just two years of marriage, Ashley's first alleged affair came with a hairdresser named Aimee Walton.

After they put that behind them, in In 2010, it was revealed that Ashley allegedly cheated on Cheryl with four more women.

More allegations emerged that Ashley had tried to cover up his romps, including claims from a model who said the star gave her £10,000 to keep quiet.

Taylor Swift's romance with the Kansas City club has gone viral on social media

The couple's romance was first noticed when Taylor saw Kelce play in late September

Despite both of these sad stories, music and sports' newest power couple — Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift — appear to be going from strength to strength after the singer reportedly moved into his $6 million Kansas City mansion.

The couple's budding romance first came to light when Taylor attended the Chiefs game in late September as the team battled the Chicago Bears.

She has supported Kelce by cheering him on at three other games, and the two have also enjoyed date nights in New York City and appeared on Saturday Night Live together.

Travis said, “When I met her in New York, we had already talked a little bit, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and a conversation, and whatever comes from there will go from there.”

He then admitted, “Everyone around me is telling me, don't screw this up! And I sit here and say, Yes, I get it.'

Kelce also discussed their relationship being in the public eye, saying, “I've obviously never dated someone who had that kind of charisma.”

It remains to be seen whether this latest sports/music romance crossover will hold up

After Kelce flies 5,000 miles to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to see her in concert, the couple takes their romance to the next level during the singer's two-month break from her Eras Tour.

A moving van was spotted outside Travis Kelce's new lavish $6 million property outside Kansas City, just as DailyMail.com revealed Taylor Swift is moving in.

The truck arrived early Tuesday morning, a day after the pop star flew straight from Brazil to Kansas City to be with her NFL star boyfriend.

Furniture and other items were carried by staff to the main entrance of the snow-covered mansion as another vehicle pulled into the six-car garage.

It is believed that the cramped area has been fully moved into the property, allowing the couple to make the property their own as they stay in their cabin for the coming weeks.
