Justin Herbert Dating Rumors Heat Up After Spotted with Pop Star Madison Beer
When former Oregon Duck star and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert showed up at Madison Beer’s music video shoot, fans lost it. The pop star and NFL wunderkind together? That’s pure internet gold—ripe for dating rumors. Let’s dive into what happened, what’s fueling the buzz, and whether they’re more than just co-stars for a day.
The Scene That Sparked the Buzz
On August 18, Justin Herbert, 27, popped up at Madison Beer’s music video shoot in LA’s Hancock Park. The casual meet didn’t go unnoticed—Beer, dressed in angel wings and a corset, introduced Herbert to the crew before they left together. Fans immediately ran wild online, with speculation soaring as the pair strolled off in Herbert’s car.
Social Cues and Subtle Clues
The intrigue doesn’t end with paparazzi shots. Madison Beer recently liked photos of Herbert on the Chargers’ Instagram, though they don’t follow each other. On top of that, she started following Annie Buerk—partner to Herbert’s teammate—which fans instantly flagged as suspiciously close.
But Wait—It Might Be Just Chess?
Surprise twist: Herbert shut down the romance talk. He clarified that the pictures didn’t come from a date but a chess tournament held in LA. Yep, a chess game—but the rumor mill refuses to let go.
Madison’s Romancing History: A Recap
Fans aren’t new to tracking Madison’s romantic life. She’s previously been linked to:
- Jack Gilinsky (2015–2017)
- Brooklyn Beckham (rumored, never confirmed)
- Zack Bia (2018–2019)
- David Dobrik (briefly in 2020)
- Nick Austin (more serious, public from 2021 onward, but shadowed now by breakup whispers)
So her seeing someone new—especially a high-profile NFL star like Herbert—stirs the waters even more.
What’s in It for Them?
The saga of NFL stars dating A-list pop celebs has become a social media staple. Think of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, or Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld. Whether romantic or not, such pairings boost visibility—Herbert taps into Beer’s pop world, and Beer might find a fresh spotlight among football fans.
What Fans Are Saying
Reddit and social platforms light up with comments like:
“Justin Herbert and Madison Beer was not on my 2025 bingo card—but I like it.”
And on forums, fans joke this duo could offer hope:
“If Justin Herbert can get Madison Beer, then… me and my man Pete Alonso have a chance.
”
Final Take: Rumor or Reality?
As of August 2025, neither has confirmed anything—Herbert denies romance, and Beer’s reps are quiet. But in today’s social media-fueled culture, even a friendly appearance can spark weeks of speculation.
Could it be nothing but chess? Possibly. But when a high-caliber athlete crosses paths with a Grammy‐nominated pop star, the rumor mill turns fast. Whether buzz or bona fide, it’s safe to say: the internet is watching—and revving up
