Serena Williams made a stylish public appearance at Inter Miami’s season opener just days after her Super Bowl halftime cameo with Kendrick Lamar sparked debate.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion was spotted at Chase Stadium, where she watched Inter Miami take on New York City FC in their first game of the 2025 MLS season. Serena wasn’t alone—Hollywood actress Eva Longoria was also in attendance, adding more star power to the event. Both Williams and Longoria later posed for photos with Inter Miami president and football icon David Beckham.
Beyond being fans of the sport, both women have strong ties to football through investment and ownership. Longoria is an investor in Mexico’s Club Necaxa, while Williams has played a key role in the success of Angel City FC in the NWSL.
Messi’s Late Heroics Save Inter Miami
Inter Miami’s season opener ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw against New York City FC. The team faced a tough challenge after defender Tomás Avilés received a red card, leaving them with 10 men for most of the match.
However, Lionel Messi once again proved instrumental, providing two crucial assists, including the stoppage-time equalizer that rescued a point for his team.
With an important CONCACAF Champions Cup clash against Sporting KC coming up, all eyes will be on Messi to deliver another standout performance. Meanwhile, Serena Williams remains unbothered by the recent Super Bowl controversy, enjoying the game and her time in the football world.
