Are we witnessing the rise of a new WNBA-NBA power couple? Rumors are swirling that two basketball stars, considered among the best in their respective leagues, may be forming a romantic connection. Both of these athletes recently shined on the international stage, winning gold for Team USA at the Paris Olympics in their respective gold-medal matchups against France.
The pair in question? WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson and NBA All-Star Bam Adebayo, who were recently spotted walking together in Indianapolis on Thursday via TMZ. While fans may have initially speculated about Caitlin Clark and Tyrese Haliburton being an item, the real buzz surrounds Wilson and Adebayo. The two have been romantically linked since before the start of the Olympic Games, and their joint appearances have only fueled further speculation.
Wilson, a standout player for the Las Vegas Aces, was in town for back-to-back games against the Indiana Fever. On the day off between Wednesday and Friday’s matchups, Adebayo, center for the Miami Heat, was seen enjoying the sights of Indianapolis with Wilson, adding fuel to the growing relationship rumors.
This isn’t the first time the two have been seen together. The dating rumors began during Team USA’s training camp in Las Vegas, where they were spotted together outside of their team obligations. Since then, fans have been eagerly tracking their interactions, hoping for confirmation of a relationship.

Though neither Adebayo nor Wilson has directly addressed the rumors on social media, there have been subtle hints. Adebayo posted a supportive message, “U’nanimous,” shortly after Wilson clinched the WNBA scoring title earlier this week. Wilson was also notably present when Adebayo was honored with the key to the city of Miami, presented by Miami-Dade mayor Daniella Levine Cava, after his Olympic gold medal victory.
Both stars are enjoying peak moments in their careers. Wilson, who turned 28 while competing in Paris, is nearing the end of another dominant WNBA season, with the Aces poised to defend their title in the playoffs. Adebayo, who recently celebrated his 27th birthday during Team USA training camp, is preparing for the start of the NBA season, which kicks off next month.
As the WNBA season winds down and the NBA season ramps up, all eyes are on this potential power couple. Wilson’s Aces have just three regular-season games left before their playoff run, with the WNBA Finals likely taking place in late October.
Meanwhile, Adebayo will soon return to the court with the Miami Heat, hoping to carry the momentum from his Olympic success into the new NBA season.
If the rumors are true, A’ja Wilson and Bam Adebayo could be the latest in a line of sports power couples, both excelling at the highest levels of their respective leagues.
For now, fans will continue to keep a close watch on their off-court chemistry as they gear up for the next chapters of their impressive careers.
