Dating is about to get difficult for five famous soccer players — Jamie O’Hara, Ryan Babel, Lloyd Jones, Marco Fabián, and Sebastián Fassi — as they are forced to step away from their superstar statuses, and look for love without their fame and fortune on Love Undercover. Drawing quite a few similarities to Joe Millionaire and I Wanna Marry Harry, fans of either series are sure to be in for a treat!
According to Peacock — the network where the soon-to-be hit show will be streaming — “Love Undercover is a modern-day fairytale meets buddy comedy about an elite group of soccer players who come to Los Angeles on a secret quest for true love. We’ll follow them on an epic journey filled with drama, heartbreak and self-discovery. Will the ladies be interested in a group of average Joes, will the guys manage to keep their true identities a secret, and will any of them fall for an American princess before inviting them back to their home countries and testing their relationships on the global stage?”
In other words, while the soccer stars are known for living lives of luxury, they will attempt to find love without their fame and fortune throughout Love Undercover, disguised as contractors, salesmen, and restaurant managers. Going on dates with multiple women, the men must keep their true identities a secret, eventually confessing who they are and inviting one woman to return with them to their home country by the end of the romance-oriented competition series.
