Iggy Azalea is giving athletes another try ... 'cause she just confirmed she's dating NFL superstar DeAndre Hopkins!!
The "Kream" rapper's first run with a professional baller didn't go so well ... she had a disastrous breakup with Nick Young -- and things didn't look promising for other athletes.
But ... apparently she's willing to give it another shot -- with one of football's best players!!
"Yeah, we're in a relationship," Iggy said of Hopkins to Y100 in Miami.
There had been rumors about the two for a week or so .
