7 of the cutest basketball couples from the WNBA

The WNBA features several inspiring couples who formed through shared basketball careers, with their relationships thriving both on and off the court. These partnerships often begin as teammates or college connections, benefiting from mutual understanding of the professional athletic lifestyle.

Notable couples include DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas, who grew close after Bonner joined Thomas' team, the Connecticut Sun, in 2020, leading to their engagement in 2023. NaLyssa Smith and DiJonai Carrington, former Baylor teammates, reunited professionally with the Dallas Wings in 2025 before Smith was traded to the Aces later that year.

New York Liberty's Natasha Cloud and Isabelle Harrison confirmed their relationship in 2025, with Cloud crediting Harrison for bringing calm and focus to her life. Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, longtime friends since high school basketball camps and UConn teammates, went public as a couple in 2025 after Bueckers became the WNBA Draft's top pick.

Courtney Vandersloot and Allie Quigley, former Chicago Sky teammates turned wives, made history as the first married couple to win a professional sports championship. They married in 2018 and welcomed their first child in 2025. Breanna Stewart and Marta Xargay Casademont met playing overseas in Russia; they bonded after Stewart's injury, marrying and having a child via surrogate in 2021, with Xargay Casademont retiring while Stewart continued her decorated career.

Diana Taurasi and Penny Taylor, Phoenix Mercury teammates for over a decade and three-time champions, married in 2017 after Taylor's retirement. They have two children, with Taylor later serving as an assistant coach while Taurasi extended her record-breaking playing career.
