How Jennifer Lopez’s love life might be a sign of another Tom Brady Super Bowl win

For most of the 21st century, Tom Brady and Jennifer Lopez have acted as two icons of their domains.

Brady, of course, is perhaps the greatest quarterback in NFL history, still dropping jokes about his underdog story to this day. Lopez, meanwhile, is mostly an unparalleled pop singing sensation and actress. But it’s Brady who should take cues from Lopez’s love life if he wants to know how the rest of his pro football career (2030 end date? 2040?) ends.

Last Saturday, according to CNN, Lopez married her long-time beau, actor Ben Affleck. While it was undoubtedly a beautiful ceremony reaffirming a strong bond between two human beings and all those saccharine developments — the marriage itself could be a harbinger for another Brady Super Bowl title.

You see, Brady has won a championship, in some form, in each of the last three instances Lopez has walked the aisle:

When Lopez married Ojani Noa in 1997, Brady’s Michigan Wolverines took home the College Football national title. A few years later, in 2001, during Brady’s first year as an NFL starter, Lopez remarried, this time to Cris Judd. Brady and the Patriots went on to take home their first Super Bowl.

Finally, when Lopez and Marc Anthony made vows in 2004, Brady’s Patriots finished the only Super Bowl repeat in the approximate quarter century. Ho-hum.

If Lopez tying the knot with Affleck in 2022 says anything meaningful about football, it means Brady might win ring No. 8 come February 2023. Odds makers with Tipico Sportsbook currently have the Buccaneers at +700 to win Super Bowl 57. That is second only to the juggernaut Buffalo Bills (+600).

It looks like Lopez’s love does actually cost a thing: A Super Bowl ring for a future Hall of Fame quarterback.
