This may come as a huge shocker, but here it goes: Athletes and celebrities (aka famous people) tend to date one another. Phew, now that we got that all squared away, let's embark on the journey that is naming off athlete-celeb relationships you didn't know about.

Some may have been in the past, some present and some even rumors.

Before Tom Brady and Gisele were a thing, the New England Patriots QB and Tara Reid were apparently kissing, and had a fling. Don't believe me? Google it.

Kim Kardashian famously married Kris Humphries (for 72 days). She is now married to Kanye West. We all know about the romance with Reggie Bush and Ray J, but some may have forgotten that Kim also had a thing with Cristiano Ronaldo back in the day. For those who forgot -- you're welcome.

Plain and simple, Elisha Cuthbert has a thing for hockey players. After all, she is married to Dion Phaneuf, star of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Matt Leinart didn't quite work out in the NFL. Neither did his relationship with Paris Hilton. No surprises there.

Raise your hand if you remember this one happening. Other than the fact that I can't actually see people raising their hands (assuming they did), I forgot all about this love affair.

14. Gerard Pique and Shakira

There are people who would kill to be in Pique's shoes. Not only because he plays for Barcelona, but because of Shakira. If you are wondering why, all you need to do is watch one of her music videos. Seriously. Go. Right now.

13. Eva Longoria and Tony Parker

This may be one of the more obvious ones if you are a fan of the San Antonio Spurs (or watch sports in general, or follow Eva Longoria), but it is still one relationship that I am sure many people forgot about.

12. Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood

Mike Fisher (the hockey player) is married to Carrie Underwood, who is one of the most popular singers in, I don't know, the world.

Rick Fox and Eliza Dushku were once going steady. During that time, you could say Fox was the luckiest man alive.

Opposites attract, right? That has to be the case if these two had a thing together once upon a time.

Dustin Johnson has definitely seen better days in terms of golf (semi-recently suspended from the game he loves), but at least he has Paulina Gretzky by his side. That definitely counts for something. Regardless, there is no doubt in my mind that Johnson will make his return, and hoist some trophies in the very near future.

This might not be news for some, but it was certainly news to me. The former boxer was definitely lucky regardless.

Eva Longoria and Mark Sanchez were once going at it. Now, Sanchez is throwing passes for the Philadelphia Eagles (and still seems to be eating food during games on the sidelines).
