Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg kick off Super Bowl celebrations with a hearty dose of cuteness as they host the 2021 Puppy Bowl
They developed an unlikely but winning friendship that led up to an off-beat cooking show.
And Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg were back at it on Super Bowl Sunday, but they skipped the big game in favor of the 2021 Puppy Bowl.
Instead of rooting for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the Kansas City Chiefs, the 79-year-old lifestyle guru and the 49-year-old rapper shared their puppy jersey looks on Instagram as they rooted for teams Ruff and Fluff.

‘Team Ruff was great on @puppybowlxvi,’ Martha wrote of her winning team on Instagram.
‘Thank you to all the animal welfare organizations who work so hard to place abandoned animals in new and proper homes. Thank you pet owners who are so kind to your pets!!! Dogs are indeed “mans best friends” !!!!!!!!’ she wrote.
The TV host also added a special thanks to First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, who delivered a PSA while flanked with her dogs.
