Athlete-Celebrity Couples You Probably Didn't Know About

Alyssa Milano is probably best known for three things: she played Samantha Micelli on "Who's the Boss?," Phoebe Halliwell on "Charmed," and she provided the inspiration for Star-Lord to name his ship, The Milano. Add to that an acting career that began in 1984, and you have one of the hardest working women in Hollywood.

Alyssa Milano is probably best known for three things: she played Samantha Micelli on "Who's the Boss?," Phoebe Halliwell on "Charmed," and she provided the inspiration for Star-Lord to name his ship, The Milano. Add to that an acting career that began in 1984, and you have one of the hardest working women in Hollywood. Recently, Milano became an outspoken advocate of the MeToo movement and has made headlines working for that cause in recent years. 

Milano has been married twice, with her first wedding (and subsequent divorce) happening in 1999. Although her first husband, Cinjun Tate, was a singer, her dating history suggests she has a thing for athletes. Over the years, Milano has dated several professional athletes, some known to her fanbase and some that seemingly went by unnoticed.

Per Ranker, throughout the early '00s, Milano dated a slew of MLB players reportedly including Brad Penny, Tom Glavine, Carl Pavano, and Barry Zito. However, by 2007, the actor had sworn off dating baseball players. Speaking to Details magazine (via People), she griped, "I've gotten such s*** about my dating choices ... Like, every single article ... is about how I'm 'the chick that dates athletes,' and there's an insane double standard going on." While she mentioned wanting to find herself a nice reliable tradesman to date instead, she eventually found love with talent agent David Bugliari, who she married in 2009.
