Justin Herbert missed team workouts to support his girlfriend, pop star Madison Beer, on her tour.
The second phase of the Los Angeles Chargers‘ 2026 offseason program ran for three weeks this month, ending on May 22. Herbert skipped the last two weeks of the voluntary team workouts to attend Beer’s Locket tour, which opened in Poland on May 11.
It could be read as a distraction to the team. Herbert’s coach had no issues with his absence. Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers’ head coach, said he was fine with it, since Beer supports them at the football games.
The relationship between the two has drawn public attention over the last year. They’ve been seen out at sporting events, concerts and public appearances. Beer also recently shared a viral moment where, during a European soundcheck, she answered a FaceTime call from Herbert in front of the fans.
Herbert has since returned to California to continue preparing for the 2026 season.
The Los Angeles Chargers are looking to win a playoff game, especially Herbert. They lost to the New England Patriots and the wild card in January, but the one thing on Herbert’s mind is just to get a playoff win to get the scrutiny off of it.
The Chargers also have a new offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel, who was the former coach of the Miami Dolphins. He also brings a new scheme to Los Angeles, and it will open up what the Chargers can do on offense in the AFC West, where Patrick Mahomes is coming off an injury.
