Lydia I don’t date athletes. It’s a rule. I almost married a big football star. After a very messy and grossly public breakup, I promised myself never to date another professional athlete.

The guy is retiring at the height of his career. He’s a superstar. The last thing I want is to become the story rather than tell the story.
