Madison Beer paused a soundcheck onstage at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome on May 21 to answer a ringing phone — it was Justin Herbert, and she told him she was a bit busy before saying, "I Love You" and hanging up.
The short video of the exchange went viral on X on Tuesday. Beer was onstage chatting with fans before the show; later that night at the Ziggo Dome she performed "Baby," the music video for which starred Herbert as her romantic lead, and she singled him out in the lyric, "I’m the best you ever had, Justin, I can turn you on."
Herbert has been traveling with Beer on the European leg of her Locket Tour, flying across the Atlantic to accompany her on dates that run through May 31 in England. The pair had been in Amsterdam the night before the soundcheck to attend Harry Styles’ concert at the Ziggo Dome on May 20, and they were spotted taking a casual stroll through the streets of Paris the day after the Amsterdam show.
The onstage call and the public appearances come with a clear backdrop: Herbert is in the NFL offseason. He skipped a couple of voluntary spring practices to fly to Europe to support Beer, and the Chargers’ formal OTAs did not officially kick off until May 26. The team’s mandatory minicamp for veteran players is scheduled for June 16 to June 18.
Beer has been candid about the relationship on recent media appearances. On the podcast In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele she called Herbert "insanely hot," said she "do[es] want a ring" and that she would "of course" like to be asked for her hand. She also joked on the podcast, "I actually know someone that has a watch." The couple first began dating in 2025 and confirmed their relationship publicly in October 2025.
The tension in the story is straightforward and immediate: Herbert’s decision to hop a flight to Europe has already meant skipping voluntary team work while Beer’s tour is underway. That choice matters this week because the Chargers’ organized team activities and the approaching mandatory minicamp set a calendar against which his availability will be measured.
For Beer, the moment onstage was both routine and unmistakable — a pop star answering a partner mid-rehearsal and telling him, "I Love You" within earshot of fans — and for Herbert it was a very public confirmation that he has been showing up in person. Their movements from the May 20 concert to the May 21 soundcheck and the subsequent Paris stroll make plain what Beer’s lyric and onstage words spelled out: they are traveling together and making the relationship visible.
This episode answers the simplest question the footage posed: yes, Beer answered Herbert and did not hide it. The larger implication, supported by the timeline of missed practices and scheduled team events, is that Herbert has already been willing to prioritize being with her on tour — a choice that will have to be balanced with his NFL calendar in the weeks ahead.
