Being an athlete’s wife often carries a stereotype, but these women have blown that bias out of the water.

1. The legend of this group is undoubtedly Victoria (Adams) Beckham. She and David Beckham met at a charity soccer match at the height of her career as a member of the Spice Girls. She followed him to Los Angeles for his career, but she had already made a name for herself in the states with her luxury fashion brand Victoria Beckham. She recently added Victoria Beckham Beauty to her long list of accomplishments. AND SHE MAKES IT LOOK EFFORTLESS
2. Many regard Tom Brady (NFL - National Football League) as the G.O.A.T., but he hasn’t always been paid that way. He took pay cuts to direct the team money toward bringing in better players to build an overall better team. How? As he once said in an interview, “My wife makes a lot of money. I’m a little smarter than you think.” Gisele Bündchen was the highest-paid model for 10 years in a row, but did you know that she has released a handful of covers of popular songs? She’s also a New York Times bestseller, an entrepreneur building Ipanema sandals, a philanthropist, environmentalist and a mom, whose net worth is more than her husband’s. BRING OUT THE BIG GUNS
3. She may have been a small-town girl when she won “American Idol,” but Carrie Underwood had her eyes on a successful career and has never looked back. We all know she’s a multiple Grammy Award-winning artist, but she’s also the founder of athleisure company CALIA by Carrie Underwood. She met now retired NHL (National Hockey League) player Mike Fisher when her bassist set them up on a blind date and the rest is history. For all that they have, they still enjoy the simple life. For Christmas, Fisher bought her two cows for their property outside of Nashville. SIMPLE AND SWEET
4. If you love to cook, you’ve likely cooked a recipe created by Ayesha Curry. The Canadian chef and TV personality has written bestselling cookbooks, opened her own restaurants across the country and has her own cookware line at Target. She does that while raising three children with her husband, NBA (National Basketball Association) great Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors). SHE DOES IT ALL
5. Long before she was Mrs. Russell Wilson, we knew Ciara for her “Goodies,” “1,2 Step” and her acting career. She and Russell Wilson (Seattle Seahawks - NFL) first stepped out in 2015 and have been head over heels for each other ever since. The two bonded over faith (they were famously celibate until they married) and philanthropy. The singer who has had her singles reach the top ten Billboard Top 100 spots eight times is still cranking out hits to this day. THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE
