A’ja Wilson had the support of her boyfriend, Bam Adebayo, at WNBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago.
As the league’s biggest stars gathered for the annual WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday, July 25, the Las Vegas Aces center — who is making her eighth WNBA All-Star Game appearance — was spotted with boyfriend Adebayo, 29.
In a clip shared on X by the WNBA, Adebayo could be seen snapping photos of Wilson and some of her teammates, including Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, inside the arena.
“@Bam1of1 is on photographer duty today 📸,” the league wrote in the caption.
Wilson and Adebayo, a center-forward on the Miami Heat, first sparked dating rumors in the summer of 2024 after they were spotted together in Las Vegas ahead of the Paris Olympics. Adebayo also cheered on Wilson when she and the women’s basketball team won gold against France in the City of Lights.

In May, Wilson appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair and opened up about why she and the NBA star decided to keep their romance a secret. “We just wanted to make sure that we were secure in ourselves, our relationship, and our foundation,” Wilson said.
Wilson revealed in her interview with TIMElast December that she and Adebayo began dating four years ago, long before fans caught on.
Speaking about the future, Wilson told TIME she hopes to start a family. “That is always a dream,” Wilson said, adding Adebayo is also very close with her parents.
