Our jersey chaser of the month Minka Kelly and Derek Jeter have broken up! The couple, who have been dating for three years, confirmed the news to People, “They care about each other and it was amicable,” says a source. “They’re still friends.”
The breakup comes just a month after the very private pair spoke about their relationship in the HBO documentary on Jeter’s 3,000th hit. In Derek Jeter 3K, Kelly joked about baseball IQ, “I didn’t know the difference between a run and a homerun.” Talk about a curveball!
While Kelly has become a regular fixture at Yankees Stadium, her schedule has kept her busy as she films the new Charlies Angels series down in Miami. Jeter’s Yankees are battling for a playoff position and are one game back from the Boston Red Sox.
While I feel for Minka… the good news is there is still a chance for the rest of us!
Burqas are not often associated with romance, but one newlywed jersey chasing couple have decided to spend their honeymoon in Afghanistan…. and I know what you’re thinking, it’s not Kim Kardashian! New York Yankees Nick Swisher and actress Joanna Garcia has decided to spend their honeymoon in Afghanistan visiting the troops.
Swisher told The New York Post, “Three military officers came to the Yankee locker room and asked if any of us would like to visit the troops. My hand went straight up, I said, ‘I’m in.’ I knew Joanna would want to go. It will be our first trip since we got married. I come from a military family … and no matter what your views are, these men and women are out there risking everything for us. I realize how fortunate I have been, so I like to give back at every opportunity I can.”
While the couple married in December, with Swisher’s busy baseball schedule and Garcia filming the ABC sitcom Better With You (which was canceled this spring) the couple have yet to go on their honeymoon.
“We are both really looking forward to visiting the troops,” Garcia said. “Yes, it isn’t a traditional honeymoon, but it is something we both feel strongly about. We’ll probably make a stop in Europe on our way back.”
Move over Jay-Z and Beyonce… Brad Pitt and Angelina because Tom Brady and wife Gisele Bundchen have been named the highest paid celebrity couple by Forbes magazine. Mr. and Mrs. Brady ranked in over $76 million from May 2010-May 2011. The couple was joined by fellow jersey chasing couple David and Victoria Beckham, who pulled in a combined $45 million.
Despite Brady’s $18 million contract with the New England Patriots, Bundchen is the bread winner of the family earning over $45 million. Bundchen became the first billonaire super model with her own skincare line Sejaa and collobrations with Hope lingerie and Ipanema sandals. In addition to Brady’s $18 million contracts with the Pats he earned an additional $17 million in endorsements, who knew Uggs paid so well!
People magazine has released its first photos of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’s wedding this past weekend. The couple earned a reported $17.9 million on the wedding…. including $2.5 millon from People for exclusive rights to the wedding photos. People released its cover for the new issue on stands this Friday in which Kardashian says “she felt like a princess.”
The couple made $15 million alone just from the TV rights for E!’s two-part four hour wedding special to air in October.
In what was dubbed as the reality royal wedding, Yahoo noted that its site saw three times as many searches for the name Kim Kardashian on the day of her wedding as they saw for Kate Middleton on the Royal Wedding back on April 29.
Talk about a hapily ever after!
