Latest

Separately, World Cup champion soccer player Megan Rapinoe and Olympic gold medalist basketball phenom Sue Bird are sporting powerhouses who have elevated their respective games with each win. But when they came together as a couple in 2016, a tectonic shift happened in the realm of women’s sports—like the plot of Will Smith’s Hancock—two gods had found each other, and the world would be changed for it. The now engaged couple appeared on the cover of the Modern Lovers issue of GQ in a protective embrace. In a profile written by former Jezebel Editor-in-Chief Emma Carmichael, the two superstars talked about their engagement and how Bird’s strict fitness regimen changed the course of Rapinoe’s career. Overall, their message wasn’t just about love for one another, but the love for the work they do and the respect (and money) their success deserves.
