Coco Gauff makes her feelings known on Eagles crushing Chiefs to win Super Bowl, reaffirms her loyalty to Dolphins

American tennis star Coco Gauff switched allegiances to support the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL Super Bowl final, but re-affirmed her loyalty to her favourite team, the Miami Dolphins. The Eagles stormed to a 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs to lift the Super Bowl title.

Gauff was happy to be on the winning side and congratulated the Eagles on their win and followed it up by sending positive vibes to the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins last won the Super Bowl back in 1973 and Gauff, 20, hoped they would find their glory days once again.

Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Gauff wrote:

“congrats to philly lolll it was fun being an eagles fan for a day. I gotta go back to my fins now but hopefully we’ll see this success in my lifetime 😭😣”

Though her favourite team was not in the final, Gauff would have been happy to have backed the winning team as she stayed awake all night to catch the final match of the NFL season. Coco Gauff is currently in Doha, where she will compete in the Qatar Open 2025.

"& I love hip hop. Lol now I'm headed back to sleep. Literally just woke up just for the halftime show," Gauff posted on her Instagram story.

The Super Bowl Halftime show was a spectacle, with American rapper Kendrick Lamar headlining the performance. Lamar performed his wildly popular song “Not Like Us”, which recently won five Grammy Awards last week, including song of the year and best music video. Gauff doffed her hat to Lamar.

"An eagles fan for the day & a kendrick fan forever," Gauff wrote.

"Loved the show and serena ate that. I love rap music and hip hop culture man. shoutout to sza too & K dot 🐐 🔥 and #SamuelLJackson narrating was just chef kiss. well thought out," Gauff posted on X.
