Famous wives of professional athletes

Sometimes stars from one industry (sports) align with stars from another (entertainment) resulting in holy matrimony. It happens a lot.

Bridgette Wilson-Sampras and Pete Sampras

Famous wives of pro athletes

Professional tennis player Pete Sampras won 14 Grand Slam titles among his 64 career titles during a 15-year career. Yet Bridgette Wilson, an actress, singer and model, didn’t know who he was when she went out with him at the urging of her sister. Sampras had spotted her at a movie theater and a friend got her number via a mutual friend. They married in 2000 and have two sons.
