Fans know Justin Herbert as an elite quarterback, but he recently made a case for the Los Angeles Chargers to consider him on defense as well. Herbert took Madison Beer out to the Los Angeles Lakers’ second home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night, where he swiftly saved her from a loose ball.
Herbert and Beer sat courtside at the Crypto.com Arena to witness the Lakers’ first win of the 2025-2026 season. Fans quickly took note of the celebrity couple when they were featured on the Jumbotron and erupted in cheers later as the quarterback swatted the ball away from his girlfriend. Although the ball’s trajectory was not heading toward Beer, fans loved the gesture nonetheless.
Adding to the moment’s comedic effect, Herbert smacked the ball almost directly toward a nearby camerawoman. Celebrities are always present at Lakers games, but few received the ovation that Herbert and Beer enjoyed when their image appeared on the big screen.
Their relationship continues to be well-received by onlookers, especially when the singer-songwriter Madison Beer shows up at Chargers games to support Herbert. Since their relationship formed sometime over the summer, fans have grown fond of the couple. Both Herbert and Beer were already prominent figures in Los Angeles on their own, but together, they are now nearing the celebrity couple status of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
Herbert and Beer’s presence helped energize the Lakers to a 128-110 victory, improving their record to 1-1 on the season. Luka Doncic shined in front of the home crowd for the second consecutive game, dropping 49 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists. This marked his second straight 40-point double-double to start the year.
