Justin Herbert is drawing heat from NFL fans after a video of the Chargers quarterback and his fiancée, Madison Beer, spread quickly online during Los Angeles training camp.
The clip, which racked up millions of views within hours, shows the newly engaged couple sitting together on the sideline during practice. In the footage, Herbert and the pop star are seen sitting in each other’s laps, looking into each other’s eyes and stroking each other’s hair while resting on the grass.
The reaction from football fans was immediate and loud, with many questioning Herbert’s focus as the Chargers get ready for the 2026 season.
"This is embarrassing bro why are you doing this in the middle of the field lmao you can't find a private place?,"
"Why do they always turn training camp into their personal makeout sesh? Nobody cares about your mid PDA, keep that s*** private,"
"Oh yeah he's gonna suck this year charger fans lol."
The public moment arrived only days after Herbert and Beer announced their engagement after nearly a year together. The couple shared the news in a joint Instagram post that featured a large engagement ring and the caption, "Meet my fiancé."
Herbert, who has long kept his private life away from the spotlight, said recently that proposing to Beer was "for sure" more nerve-racking than making his first career NFL start.
During an appearance on the SiriusXM NFL Radio Training Camp Tour, he also spoke about what Beer has meant to him as he enters his seventh professional season.
"It's so incredible. She's changed my life," Herbert said.
"It's something I never thought was possible. It's so awesome to find your person and know you get to spend your life with them."
Beer was also seen on Monday in Los Angeles showing off her large diamond ring just days after the engagement announcement. She wore a white hoodie, grey bike shorts, white socks and black penny loafers during the outing.

Chargers Return To San Diego Reopens Feelings Fans Never Resolved
For the second straight summer, the Chargers training camp stop at the University of San Diego brought the franchise back to the city where it spent decades building its identity, and the setting carried a weight that went well beyond practice snaps and installation work. Jim Harbaugh talked about the organizations connection to San Diego, while Justin Herbert acknowledged how meaningful it was to be back in a place so many fans still associate with the teams past.
The visit also came with a reminder of that history in a more personal way, as the Chargers honored former San Diego linebacker Billy Ray Smith, who recently died. Between the return to campus, the familiar faces in the stands and the memories attached to the old market, the two-day camp reopened feelings the fan base never really sorted out, even as the team keeps moving forward in Los Angeles.

Chargers Suddenly Have A Rashawn Slater Concern They Can't Ignore
Rashawn Slaters day took an uneasy turn at Tuesdays practice when the Chargers left tackle headed to the medical tent after taking part in 11-on-11 work. He eventually came back out, but not in a way that settled anything for a team already leaning on him as a key piece up front.
Slater did not return to team drills and instead watched individual work from the sideline, leaving the Chargers with another situation to monitor closely. The exact nature of the issue has not been revealed, and the team is expected to keep tracking his status before offering an update. [Read more 🡒]
Jim Harbaugh Just Raised The Stakes In Chargers Left Guard Battle
Jim Harbaugh spent part of his latest update shining a light on a spot that has quietly become one of the Chargers more interesting training camp battles. Left guard is still up for grabs, and Harbaugh said Kayode Awosika has moved into the lead as the competition unfolds, a sign that the job is not being handed out lightly as Los Angeles sorts through its protection plan on the interior.
The timing matters because the Chargers are trying to settle roles before the season gets too far along, and Harbaugh made clear there is still a process to follow before anything is finalized. With the rest of the AFC West also dealing with its own roster business, from Denvers cap maneuvering to updates elsewhere in the division, this is one of those camp decisions that could end up carrying real weight once the games start to count.
