Mark Sanchez and Eva Longoria have broken up

October 23, 2012 By Larry Brown 6 Comments

It is with great sadness that we pass along a report saying Mark Sanchez and Eva Longoria have broken up.

US Weekly reports that Sanchez’s representative confirmed the two are no longer together after a few months of dating.

“Mark adores and respects Eva,” Sanchez’s rep told Us. “It really was about scheduling more than anything else. They will remain close friends.”

A rep for Longoria also confirmed the split to TMZ.

Sanchez and Longoria were reported to have been dating in July, and Longoria confirmed their relationship during a September interview.

It’s only a month later the two are no longer together.

This report also explains why Sanchez reportedly was at a club on Friday night dancing and flirting with another girl.

Mark Sanchez and Eva Longoria, we hardly knew ye.

Looks like this means it’s time for Sanchez to add another woman to his impressive dating resume.

The San Francisco Giants’ celebration after winning the National League pennant on Monday allowed MLB on FOX viewers the opportunity to receive a glimpse at some of the players’ finer halves. The player who seemed to garner the most attention was Tim Lincecum, who had his arm around a blonde.

Lincecum’s mystery lady was wearing a National League champions hat. Her presence on the field and closeness with the pitcher led many to conclude that she is his girlfriend, leaving many female fans disappointed.

Here’s another look at the young woman, only in this one you can actually see her face:

Justin Verlander won’t say if Kate Upton is his girlfriend

October 22, 2012 By Larry Brown Leave a Comment

There has been intense speculation since July that Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander and supermodel Kate Upton are dating, and even family members seemed to have confirmed their relationship. But the reigning AL MVP won’t say whether or not Upton is his girlfriend.

“I’m not confirming or denying anything,” Verlander told USA Today’s Bob Nightengale.

Nightengale says Verlander laughed while giving his response, and acknowledged that even his teammates are curious.

“I’ll leave that to my grandfather. God bless him,” Verlander said.

Verlander was referring to his grandfather, Richard Verlander Sr., who seemingly confirmed in an interview with Celebuzz that his grandson and Upton were dating. Verlander seemed to find it pretty disturbing that media members called his grandfather to get a story.

“I never thought I’d have to prepare my grandfather for the media,” Verlander told USA TODAY Sports. “It’s a whole different world. I can’t believe that people would call my grandparents. It’s tough when people start trying to dig into your personal life.”

Verlander’s father, Richard Jr., expressed a similar sentiment, finding it odd that someone would reach out to his 87-year-old father for the story.

Between sports fans and Kate Upton fans, there is heavy public interest in the subject matter. We understand why Verlander would attempt to keep his relationship status private, but based on all the circumstantial evidence, it’s pretty obvious that they are dating. No need for Verlander to keep matters private — he should be proud!

Samantha Steele gives Christian Ponder ‘bragging rights’

October 19, 2012 By Larry Brown 2 Comments

If life is a competition, then Christian Ponder thinks he is winning.

The second-year quarterback has led the Vikings to a 4-2 record, and he also is doing well in the girlfriend department.

Ponder confirmed over Twitter that he is dating ESPN reporter Samantha Steele, whom he met on the set of ESPN College GameDay. He is pretty proud of himself for the nice pull.

“I’m proud of the relationship,” Ponder said, smiling, per 1500 ESPN Twin Cities. “I can brag. I’ve got bragging rights, I believe.”

The crowd around Ponder’s locker on Friday reportedly was much larger than usual.

Ponder is not only boasting about his relationship with Steele, but he is also defending himself against his teammates. 1500 ESPN’s Tom Pelissero says the Vikings offensive linemen have been calling Ponder “Mr. Steele,” and that tight end Kyle Rudolph joked that Steele wouldn’t be interested if Minnesota weren’t winning.

Maybe the team’s hot start played a role in Ponder appearing more desirable to Steele. We won’t hold it against them. Good luck to the new sports couple. And let’s see how well they start doing when the Vikings finish 7-9.

October 11, 2012 By Larry Brown 1 Comment

Bryce Harper may only be 19 years old, but it looks like the Nats superstar is already taken.

Busted Coverage did some outstanding sleuthing and discovered that Harper appears to be dating Kayla Varner, a BYU soccer player who is from Nevada.

Varner is a sophomore forward at BYU. She played for Green Valley (Nev.) High School and was a three-time team MVP.

Varner’s tweets are mostly about BYU soccer and the Nats, and she frequently interacts with Bryce and Bryce’s sister on the social networking service. She’s even been retweeted by Bryce on a few occasions.

Plus, there’s this indisputable evidence: Varner talking about a long-distance date with Bryce, and flying to DC “to see my boo”:

Reggie Bush’s girlfriends all look alike (Picture)

October 9, 2012 By Larry Brown 6 Comments

Ever since breaking up with Kim Kardashian, it has been established that Reggie Bush has a type. The Dolphins running back likes brunettes with curvy bodies, just like Kim K.

In the photo above, you’re looking at Bush’s three most recent (publicized) girlfriends. From left-to-right, it’s Kim Kardashian, Melissa Molinaro, and Lilit Avagyan.

Bush and Kardashian had an on-again, off-again relationship from about 2007-2010. Despite seeing or being with other people, there have always been rumors that they were possibly getting back together.

Bush began dating model/actress Melissa Molinaro (middle) in June 2011. Her resemblance to Kardashian was considered so strong that Old Navy was sued by Kim K. for violating her rights and attempting to cause confusion in the marketplace.

Bush’s latest girlfriend is Lilit Avagyan, who began receiving attention this week after it was reported that she was pregnant with Reggie’s baby. Avagyan is Armenian like Kardashian, and looks similar to the reality TV star.

There must be some sort of Kim Kardashian power that sticks with guys after they date her. Even her ex-husband, Kris Humphries, began dating a girl with curvy features similar to Kim after the two divorced.
