A'ja Wilson

Game recognizes game, and two-time WNBA champion A'ja Wilson is the Ace of Bam Adebayo's heart.

The low-key couple first sparked dating rumors in the summer of 2024, and A'ja confirmed their romance with a bit of a pump fake when she showed up at NBA All Star Weekend in February 2025.

"My NBA All-Star is not here," the Las Vegas Aces center told People, acknowledging that the Miami Heat center hadn't made the roster. But Bam was busy "getting the rest he needs," she added, "and that's the best Valentine gift that I can truly give him, is just the rest."

And they're only heating up, Bam showing up to support A'ja—who made her fifth straight All-Star team—during the WNBA All-Star festivities in July 2025.

NaLyssa Smith & DiJonai Carrington

While NaLyssa Smith and DiJonai Carrington's relationship began as teammates on the Baylor Bears women's basketball team in 2020, the sport has certainly put some pressure on their romance over the years.

They were drafted onto different teams in 2021/2022 before being reunited when they were both traded to the Dallas Wings in early 2025. However, in a surprise trade, NaLyssa then joined the Las Vegas Aces in June 2025. But, team loyalties aside, their love story continues. As DiJonai posted alongside a pic of the pair on July 21, 2025, "met my match <3."
