Dua Lipa hamming it up with Marlins Man was certainly not on the official 2026 bingo card.
The pop music star Lipa drew attention during Wednesday’s ALDS Game 3 between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays. Lipa was sitting behind home plate at Yankee Stadium in New York, N.Y.

Though Lipa was there with her husband, actor Callum Turner, she had an interesting moment during the game with another fan who was in her same row. Marlins Man, the Miami Marlins superfan, was spotted in the middle of the contest having a chat with Lipa.
In the video, the two were chatting while sitting just one seat apart (though Marlins Man appeared to be doing most of the talking). Take a look.

Lipa, 31, is a three-time Grammy winner who is most popular in her native England and is known for such hits as “One Kiss” and “Don’t Start Now.” Meanwhile, Marlins Man, a 69-year-old lawyer whose real name is Laurence Leavy, has become famous for showing up randomly at major sporting events (especially MLB playoff games) while wearing bright orange Marlins gear.
The Yankees and Rays provided an entertaining back-and-forth game on Wednesday. But at one point, it ended up being the celebrities behind home plate who got most of the headlines.
