Sports-Loving Stars Who Might Just Be Your Dream Girl
Even with their hectic filming schedules, photoshoots, and premieres, celebrities make time to root for their favorite sports teams. Many of these fans are women. From cheering on the Los Angeles Lakers in courtside seats to singing "God Bless America" at the San Francisco Giants' Oracle Park, many female stars go above and beyond for their team.
When their calendars allow for it, celebrities such as quirky girl Zooey Deschanel and actress Jennifer Lopez frequent their respective baseball teams' stadiums, while Jessica Alba can be found cheering on the Golden State Warriors. Keep reading; some of these ladies might be cheering for your team.
Faith Hill Has Been A Tennessee Titan Her Whole Life
When it comes to football fans, Faith Hill is among the top. She even sang the intro to NBC's Sunday Night Football for years! But when it comes to teams, there is only one for Hill. According to the country star, she's been a Tennessee Titans fan her entire life. Apparently, in her household, football is an event that brings the whole family together.
During an interview with USA Today, Hill said, "Around our house in football season there's a big routine. Dinner has to be planned out around the game; homework has to be finished. It's an all-gather-around the television time."
Zooey Deschanel Left Her Heart With The San Francisco Giants
Believe it or not, Los Angeles-born actress Zooey Deschanel is a die-hard San Francisco Giants fan. But, shhh, don't tell any of her Los Angeles Dodgers friends. In 2010, the New Girl actress was offered the performance of a lifetime. That year, she performed at AT&T Park during game three of the National League Championship Series.
She went to the pitcher's mound during the seventh-inning stretch, performing "America the Beautiful" for the fans there to watch the game between the Giants and Philadelphia Phillies. Deschanel was then invited to sing the National Anthem at Comerica Park during the 2012 World Series, where the Giants came out victorious.
Jennifer Lopez Roots For A-Rod's Former Baseball Team
It might come as no surprise that the Bronx, New York-raised singer and actress Jennifer Lopez is a huge Yankees fan. But what probably shocked Lopez is the fact that later in her life, she would be in a serious relationship with a former Yankees star, Alex Rodriguez.
Aside from the Yanks, though, something a lot of people don't realize is that in 2009, Lopez purchased a small share of the Miami Dolphins football sports franchise. Unfortunately, she lost her share when she and Marc Anthony divorced. But that doesn't mean she isn't still a fan!
Jenna Fischer Holds Two Teams Close To Her Heart
While most of the world knows her as Pam Beesly from the Emmy Award-winning mockumentary series The Office, two teams know actress Jenna Fischer as a die-hard fan. During football season, Fischer bleeds silver and blue for the Dallas Cowboys. Then, when baseball season rolls around, she roots for her hometown team, the St. Louis Cardinals.
And it looks like Fischer is actually quite the baseball player herself. In 2009, Fischer played left field for the National Team in the annual Taco Bell All-Star Legends and Celebrity Softball Game.
Jennifer Lawrence Loves The University Of Louisville Cardinals
Straight out of her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, actress Jennifer Lawrence's favorite sports team is none other than The University of Louisville Cardinals. On more than one occasion, the Academy Award-winning actress has been seen in the stands, cheering on the basketball team.
But just because the Silver Linings Playbook actress enjoys a cheesy slice and a soda at games doesn't mean she isn't an athlete herself! While in school, Lawrence played a number of sports, including basketball, field hockey, and cheerleading. Not to mention all of the training she's gone through for roles such as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games.
Khloe Kardashian Frequently Attends Lakers Games
Even though Khloe Kardashian had a rocky end to her relationship with former Lakers forward Lamar Odom, it hasn't swayed her from continuing to cheer on the Los Angeles Lakers whenever she has the time to attend home games.
The reality star can often be found sitting courtside with one or more of her sisters, cheering on her hometown team. It must have been quite something for Kardashian to bear witness to the 2009 and 2010 Laker's NBA Championship wins while married to Odom!
Eva Longoria Loves The San Antonio Spurs
Texas-born actress Eva Longoria didn't stray far from her roots when it comes to sports teams. The Golden Globe-nominated actress loves to cheer on the San Antonio Spurs, even if she isn't married to their former point guard Tony Parker anymore. But cheering for her favorite sports team isn't the only way the actress is involved in athletics.
In 2015, Longoria teamed up with Sunrise Brands, a sportswear manufacturer, to create a women's collection. It's also rumored that she's a fairly decent athlete herself, having scored well at George Lopez's Celebrity Golf Classic back in 2012.
Ashley Judd Is All About Her Kentucky Wildcats
Emmy nominated actress Ashley Judd is famous for a lot of things, including more than one very successful box office film. From Divergent to A Dog's Way Home, Judd has shown she is a force to be reckoned with on the silver screen. But she's someone totally different when it comes to Kentucky Wildcat basketball!
As a former student at the University of Kentucky, it's no wonder the actress is a die-hard fan of the team. Judd can typically be seen standing over the rest of the crowd, cheering on her school's team while sporting more than one UK garment.
Charlize Theron Opted To Support The Lakers
Even South Africa native Charlize Theron adopted the Los Angeles Lakers when she moved to California to pursue her acting career in 1994. On more than one occasion, the Academy Award-winning actress been seen sitting courtside, cheering on the team and showing her support for her adopted hometown city.

Maria Menounos Has Always Cheered On The Celtics
Entertainment reporter Maria Menounos isn't afraid to let people know where her basketball loyalties lie. In this case, it's with the Boston Celtics. When she makes it to games, Menounos isn't shy about shouting from the stands or getting into fights. She's even been kicked out of a Celtics-Lakers game from fighting with Jack Nicholson!
But watching basketball isn't the only way this Boston native gets her sports fix. Menounos is also a professional wrestler, making her first WWE appearance in 2009 as part of a six diva tag team match with Kelly Kelly and Gail Kim.
Sarah Jessica Parker Is A Die-Hard Yankees Fan
Jessica Sarah Parker and her husband, Ferris Bueller's Day Off star Matthew Broderick, probably have quite a rowdy house when it comes to baseball season. While the Sex and the City actress is a die-hard New York Yankees fan, Broderick cheers for the other NY team, the Mets.
Somehow, the two actors are still happily married, living peacefully under one roof and cheering for their respective teams. That being said, all bets are most likely off when playoff season rolls around. At that point, team shirts come out, and the yelling likely commences.
Jessica Alba Enjoys Attending Golden State Warriors Games
It might come as a surprise to some, but Jessica Alba is a huge sports fan. She and her husband Cash Warren are actually good friends with former Golden States Warriors forward Baron Davis, resulting in their attendance to more than a few courtside games.
And when it comes to her favorite football team, Alba keeps it in the bay area. The actress and founder of the Honest Company is said to root for the Oakland Raiders (now Las Vegas).
Jennifer Garner Adopted A Love For The Boston Red Sox
Even though she was born in Houston, Texas, and grew up in Charleston, West Virginia, Jennifer Garner has always been a fan of the San Francisco 49ers. But when it comes to baseball, she switched her state and city allegiance.
After marrying Boston-native Ben Affleck, Garner adopted the Boston Red Sox as her baseball team. Thankfully, she didn't adopt his absolute love for everything New England, including the Patriots football team. Even after the two actors divorced, Garner still supports the Sox.
Alyssa Milano Is LA All Day With Her Dodgers
Although Alyssa Milano was born in New York, the actress became a die-hard Los Angeles Dodgers fan after moving to California as a teenager when she landed a role on Who's The Boss? Now, it's well-known how much the actress bleeds white and blue.
For years, Milano has been a season ticket holder, written a sports blog, and has even designed her own line of Dodgers sports apparel in the official MLB shop. Her fashion line is called Touch by Alyssa Milano, and it caters to women.
Olivia Wilde Is A Kansas Fan, Both Collegiate And Professional
While actress and director Olivia Wilde isn't a Kansas native, she's often spotted at sporting events in the state, especially if they have anything to do with the Kansas City Royals or University of Kansas Jayhawks.
Since her husband, fellow actor Jason Sudeikis, grew up in Kansas, she adopted the teams when they began dating back in 2011. The two are frequently spotted at Kansas sporting events, cheering and wearing the respective jerseys.
Jessie James Decker Married A Wide Receiver From Her Favorite Football Team
Jessie James Decker loves the Denver Broncos so much that she wound up marrying their former wide receiver, Eric Decker, back in 2013. She's even been lucky enough to perform at a number of Broncos games, singing the national anthem during the Broncos-Jets game in 2011, sporting her then-fiancés number 87.
Ironically, it wasn't long after that performance that the NFL player was traded to the Jets, the Titans, and then the Patriots before announcing his retirement in 2018. So, while Jessie James loves her Broncos, she's also supported the other teams her husband has played for.
Carrie Underwood Supports The Nashville Predators
After marrying professional ice hockey player Mike Fisher in 2010, country music sweetheart Carrie Underwood became quite the Nashville Predators fan. Before his re-retirement in 2018, Underwood could be seen wearing his number or the team's swag while cheering them on from a box over the rink.
And while she will always love her husband's team, she's really a football fan at heart. More specifically, she bleeds blue and silver. During an interview with Country Weekly, Underwood said, "I grew up a 100 percent Cowboys fan. My room was blue and gray, and I had Cowboys pillows and posters of Troy Aikman on my wall."
Demi Lovato Is A Jets And Cowboys Fan
Growing up in Dallas, Texas, with a mother who was a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, it's no surprise that powerhouse vocalist Demi Lovato grew up to become a loyal Cowboys fan. But it looks like her loyalties now lie elsewhere!
Even though Lovato calls Los Angeles, California, her home now, it seems she is now rooting for an east coast team, specifically the New York Jets. She was seen on the sidelines of one of their games, sporting a "#1 Fan" foam finger and a green and white jersey.
Olivia Munn Bleeds White And Blue
Born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, actress Olivia Munn didn't travel far for college. She attended the University of Oklahoma and has been a Sooners fan ever since. Of course, Munn also cheers for the local NBA team as well, the Thunder.
Now that she is a Los Angeles local, though, Munn can often be seen sporting a white and blue Dodger jersey, repping her new home town team when they take to the field at their stadium in Anaheim.
Courteney Cox Likes To Cheer On Her Hometown Lakers
While she might not get as much exposure as some other celebrities sitting courtside, Friends star Courteney Cox is a huge Los Angeles Lakers Fan. While she was married to David Arquette, the two frequently attended home games, even getting caught on the Kiss Cam a time or two!
The actress attended Game Seven of the 2010 NBA Championship game when the Lakers played the Boston Celtics. The Lakers wound up winning the finals that year, with the final game's score being a very close 83-79.
