From Victoria Beckham to Taylor Swift: All the Iconic WAGs Through the Years

Victoria Beckham. Gabrielle Union. Elin Nordegren. Taylor Swift. There are WAGs and then there are WAGs.

Any wife or girlfriend of an athlete is technically a WAG, of course, but a select few are so iconic that they become a permanent part of WAG-story (WAG history), sometimes even after their relationship has run its course.

So, for Glamour’s WAG Week, we are taking a walk down WAG-ory lane (too many WAG puns?) to remember all our favorites. Some have been lost to the annals of time, some now utterly outshine their men, but all were iconic.

Here is a definitive guide to WAGs through the years from Victoria Beckham to Taylor Swift—the good, the bad, the controversial. And the ones you totally forgot about.

Victoria Beckham and David Beckham (a.k.a. Posh and Becks)When England’s golden footballer hooked up with a Spice Girl, it was a tabloid feeding frenzy. The pair have gone on to become almost the second royal family, beloved on both sides of the pond.

Even so, the British public has been hypercritical of Posh in particular (patriarchy gonna patriarchy). When Beckham cheated, 40% of the public apparently blamed…her.

Four kids later, the pair are still together.

Savannah James and LeBron JamesHigh school sweetheart alert! The basketball superstar met his future bride after spotting her at a football game—they went to rival high schools in Ohio—and the rest is history.

The couple has been together for 23 years, married for 11, and have three children together: Bronny (20), Bryce (17), and Zhuri (10). Savannah James has the distinction of being both a WAG and a MAWAG (Moms and Wives and Girlfriends, just go with it) after her son, Bronny, made his historic NBA debut this year alongside his father, playing for the Lakers.

So, safe to say, Savannah James has quite a WAG legacy to be proud of.
