The game knows the game, and two-time WNBA champion A’ja Wilson is the ace in Bam Adebayo’s heart.
The low-key couple first sparked dating rumors in the summer of 2024, and Aja confirmed their romance with a little pump fake when she appeared at NBA All-Star Weekend in February 2025.
“My NBA All-Star is not here,” the Las Vegas Aces center told People, confirming that the Miami Heat center was not on the roster. However, she added that Bam has been busy “getting him the rest he needs,” adding, “The best Valentine’s gift I can really give him is just rest.”
Then, at the WNBA All-Star festivities in July 2025, Bam will appear to cheer on Aja, who has made it to the All-Star team for the fifth consecutive year, and the excitement will be high.
A few months later, in her Time Athlete of the Year cover story, she revealed that she had actually been stuck around a lot longer than fans thought, making her first move at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
The next step is to add it to your team. “It’s always a dream,” she said of having children with Bam. “This is my life partner. Honestly, what was my world like before you? That’s how much he influenced my life, my family’s life.”
