Tom Brady Proposes to Brazilian Supermodel Gisele Bundchen

(...And Four Other Star Athlete/Celebrity Relationships Still Going Strong)

It looks like New England quarterback Tom Brady and Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen will be breaking in 2009 as an officially engaged coupled. According to the website www.TMZ.com , Brady spared little expense on his Christmas Eve proposal, doing the honors on board a private jet that was decked out in white roses and champagne, and proposing in mid flight.

With this highly profile Star Athlete/Celebrity couple taking the first step towards matrimonial bliss, one has to wonder what other high profile couples may follow suite in 2009. Among the highly profile Star Athlete/Celebrity that may be making an equal buzz in the coming year are the following:

Tony Romo/ Jessica Simpson:

Though the Dallas Cowboy quarterback does not have the Super Bowl rings that Brady has, he nevertheless knows his way around celebrity women, being linked in the past to Sophia Bush (actress from the TV show "One Tree Hill"), Britney Spears (Singer; Celebrity Pop Tart), Alli Sims (Britney Spears cousin and former Personal Assistant) and Carrie Underwood (Singer; Former winner of American Idol). Though Romo seems a bit hard to tie down, the smart money may be on Jessica Simpson, a tenacious Cancer girl (Horoscope sign) who has kept his interest since November of 2007.

Marko Jaric / Adriana Lima:

Fellow Brazilian supermodel (and Victoria Secrets girl) Adriana Lima has been in a relationship with 6-7 NBA basketball player Marko Jaric since November of 2007 as well. For those who place any stock on Astrological stars for this sort of thing, the Gemini (Lima) - Libra (Jaric) match up seems to be a good one.

Reggie Bush / Kim Kardashian:

Former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL star Reggie Bush and Actress/ Model/ Socialite Kim Kardashian have been together equally as long as the other two couples mentioned above. Though Kim has called their separate careers a bit of a challenge, she has also said that because Reggie is a celebrity in his own right, that he is able to better understand her.

Hilary Duff/ Mike Comrie:
