Game recognizes game, and three-time WNBA champion A'ja Wilson has found her ace of hearts in Bam Adebayo.

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.

Months later, in her TIME Athlete of the Year cover story, she revealed they’d actually been huddled up way longer than fans realized, making that first move at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
