Some might call it sweet, but other would categorize this birthday message and an embarrassing public display of affection. While Kirilenko’s birthday greeting is definitely a little overdone, it is certainly not the only awkward show of affection by an athlete couple.
Let us not forget the Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods courtship announcement.
Or Cameron Diaz’ attention to Alex Rodriguez’ dietary needs.
This open-mouthed photo of Rory McIlroy definitely qualifies as an over-share on the part of his tennis playing girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki.
And Paulina Gretzky and golfer beau Dustin Johnson in lederhosen is a lasting image.
Beach volleyball player Misty May-Treanor and her baseball playing husband Matt Treanor took part in his awfully awkward photo shoot.
