The special event this year is accompanied by the appearance of Rihanna (34) in the popular halftime show.

For the soon-to-be dad, the Super Bowl would have fallen into the water one way or another: he is out this year due to a pelvic injury! Should the Kansas City Chiefs still win, Mecole will certainly be twice as happy!
