AFTER Thirdy Ravena posted a photo with Bea de Leon, fans went gaga over the dream tandem.

For a couple of days, 'ThirBea' trended on Twitter as their big following got together to relive the Ateneo stars' friendship through the years. Even Gretchen Ho and Alyssa Valdez jumped in on the hype.

Fans are no doubt excited, but how often do we see volleyball-basketball lovers happen? Let's list them down.

These are the athletes who actually dated in real life:

Alyssa Valdez & Kiefer Ravena

This long-time athlete couple tops the list, of course. Since their college days in Ateneo, to their new ventures in the pro ranks, and now as LDR lovers as Ravena plays in Japan for the Shiga Lakestars, the two have stayed together through thick and thin.

With both of them now 28 years old, Kiefer said in a Spin.ph Zoom In episode last year that they've given serious thought about getting hitched.

Sweet and stylish, the Gilas star and the volleyball MVP are a definite favorite among fans who get to follow their love story through KKD's vlogs.

The latest was when she bid Ramos farewell as he left for Japan to pursue a stint with the Toyama Grouses in the B.League.

They may have already called it quits years back, but the PBA MVP and the former Ateneo Lady Eagle definitely made a lot of people happy with their one-of-a-kind romance. Aerieal would often sit by the bleachers, cheering her heart out for Junemar.

The two have gone separate ways now, but it is undeniable how they truly shared a big chapter of each other's careers together. Tyang Aby was a strong pillar of strength to the young NorthPort guard since his San Beda days.
