The term player's wife, commonly known as WAGs, meaning wives and girlfriends, does not constitute a formal profession. These women gain attention primarily through their relationships with prominent athletes, particularly soccer players in Europe. Many WAGs are also recognized as models with varying degrees of success.
Some were already well-known before their relationships, such as Victoria Beckham or Lena Gercke, who was linked to Sami Khedira. Another notable example is Gisele Buendchen, who was married to NFL quarterback Tom Brady.
