Marlins Man chats up Dua Lipa

It’s not a surprise that celebrities were on hand at Yankee Stadium in Game 3, but Dua Lipa and Callum Turner aren’t the usual baseball celebrities. Both are celebrities who hail from the United Kingdom, which is not where baseball is necessarily popular.

Nonetheless, the couple had great seats behind home plate for the final Yankee game of the season.

Those seats are also where Marlins Man sits, so the viral baseball fan got the opportunity to speak with the pop star and her actor husband. While it’s not the group that fans would typically expect, Marlins man said that Dua Lipa couldn’t be nicer.

Marlins Man’s history of attending different big sporting events in different cities means he has met a lot of people over the course of his life. Surely he didn’t expect to meet Dua Lipa at a Yankees-Rays playoff game, but there’s a first time for everything.
