Rumors started picking up in August 2025 when Herbert was spotted at a video shoot for Beer. They were then seen pulling up to a friend’s house in Redondo Beach, California, later that month, and the two seemed quite cozy.

In October, Beer confirmed her status by sharing a sideline kiss with Herbert during one of his games. Herbert ran over to greet her with a hug and a kiss before meeting her friends.

Also in October, the couple was seen sitting courtside at a Lakers game, where Herbert went into Superman mode to protect Beer from getting hit by a rogue basketball, a moment that went viral.

Later that same month, they attended a World Series game together. Throughout the NFL season, Beer attended several Chargers games to support Herbert from the stands.
