Pop music superstar Madison Beer is set to take the stage, or should we say runway, to perform during the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Taking place on Oct. 15, Beer is just one of the all-female musical acts that will participate in the show as legendary models like Gigi Hadid and Adriana Lima walk down the VS catwalk.
Beer has recently made headlines for her newfound romance with Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. The two first sparked dating rumors this summer, with the “Make You Mine” songstress confirming their relationship with a sideline kiss during an NFL game.
1. Justin Herbert Was Born & Raised in Oregon
GettyFans of pop singer Madison Beer are itching to know more about her blossoming romance with NFL quarterback Justin Herbert. Despite playing for the Los Angeles Chargers, he was born, raised, and played college football in Oregon.
According to ESPN, Herbert was born on March 10, 1998, currently making him 27 years old. He was raised in the city of Eugene, Oregon, the second most populous city in the state. Us Weekly reported that Herbert attended Sheldon High School, where he not only played football but also participated in the school’s baseball and basketball teams.
2. Herbert’s Football Career Almost Came to an Early End
GettyUs Weekly reported that Herbert suffered a broken leg in his junior year of high school, which made college recruiters a little cautious about offering him a scholarship.
After recovering and coming out stronger than ever, he received two scholarship offers from Nevada and Oregon. Herbert chose to stay close to home, playing football for the Oregon Ducks from 2016 to 2019.
“I’m really blessed and honored and fortunate to be in the position I am now. I’ve been a big Oregon Ducks fan my entire life. We have season tickets, so I used to go to every single game. It’d be just a great feeling running out in front of my friends, family and the city,” Herbert shared after announcing his college choice.
Herbert received impressive grades, graduating from the University of Oregon with a 4.01 GPA.
3. Herbert Has Played His Entire Career With the Los Angeles Chargers
GettyThanks to his standout play at Oregon, Herbert was selected sixth overall by the Los Angeles Chargers in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
During a 2020 interview with Pac-12 Network’s Yogi Roth on being drafted by the Chargers, Herbert enthusiastically shared, “It all went by so fast. It was a blur.” Herbert said that while he “had no control” over which NFL team he would be selected by, he was “secretly glad” that it was the Chargers. In fact, he revealed that he had always been a fan of the sports team, given that the city he was raised does not have a pro team to root for.
Herbert has played his entire career with the Chargers. Paired with quarterback whisperer Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers head coach, Hebert is looking to help the team win their division, conference, and eventually Super Bowl.
4. Herbert & Madison Beer First Sparked Romance Rumors in August
GettyAccording to TMZ, Herbert was spotted with Madison Beer at a music video shoot in Los Angeles in August. The photos did not show the two embracing or sharing a kiss, but they certainly set the internet ablaze with romance rumors. Why would an NFL player be at a pop star’s video shoot?
With the idea that Beer and Herbert might be a couple, fans were wondering if they could be seeing the next Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
Later that month, the pair was also seen together at a friend’s house, and further confirmed their relationship when they were photographed holding hands in September.
5. Herbert & Beer Shared a Sideline Kiss at an October NFL Game
Herbert and Beer confirmed their romance during an Oct. 5 NFL game when the Chargers took on the Washington Commanders. A TikTok shared by the NFL showed Herbert heading towards the sideline, where he gave Beer a hug and kiss before the game.
However, despite the two going public with their relationship, Herbert will most likely stay quiet about their new romance. He once shared during an interview with ESPN, “I think the less people know about me, the better. I don’t want to read an article about myself.”
