Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has found himself in an unusual spotlight, and this time it has nothing to do with football. The 27-year-old NFL star has sparked dating rumors after being seen with pop sensation Madison Beer, 26, during a music video shoot in Los Angeles.
Herbert, who is known for keeping his personal life private and avoiding the glare of cameras, was photographed alongside the singer at the set of her latest project in Hancock Park. Witnesses noted the two chatting between scenes before leaving together in Herbert’s car, a detail that quickly set social media buzzing.
Beer, who rose to fame after Justin Bieber shared one of her covers on YouTube, has built a massive following with over 40 million fans on Instagram and more than 20 million on TikTok. She has previously dated TikTok star Nick Austin and briefly Brooklyn Beckham, but has never shied away from being candid about her personal struggles, including the challenges of growing up in the public eye.
The singer’s presence at a Chargers game last season had already raised some eyebrows among fans, but these new photos added more fuel to speculation. Online detectives even pointed out that Beer has been liking Chargers’ Instagram posts featuring Herbert, despite not following the team’s account. Neither Herbert nor Beer, however, follows each other on Instagram, and neither has commented publicly on the rumors.
For Herbert, this is rare territory. Since being drafted in 2020 and earning Offensive Rookie of the Year, the quarterback has maintained a reputation for staying focused on the field rather than courting celebrity attention. His low-key image has now taken a turn as fans compare him to other NFL stars whose relationships with singers have made headlines, such as Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift or Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld.
While there is no confirmation of romance between Herbert and Beer, the timing of the buzz has added an extra layer of intrigue as the Chargers prepare to open their season against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in São Paulo, Brazil, on September 5. Until then, speculation continues to swirl about whether this could be the NFL’s newest high-profile pairing.
