A'ja Wilson is already a WNBA legend even as her career continues. Into another WNBA Finals, the Las Vegas Aces' superstar has won the MVP award four times, the most in league history.
She's also one of the faces of the league, a personable and funny star with a polished, dominant game.
That has turned her into someone everyone wants to know about off the court, too.
Wilson's dating life has drawn her fans' attention for a while, and things are pretty solid (and tall) on that front now.
Who is A'ja Wilson dating?
A'ja Wilson is dating Bam Adebayo.
Adebayo is an All-Star big man for the Miami Heat in the NBA who has also spent ample time suiting up for Team USA. He's one of the most versatile players in the sport, capable of defending almost anyone while also dishing dimes despite being a 6-foot-9 frontcourt player.
The pair began being linked in 2024, but it took a while for their relationship to become publicly launched.
Adebayo was often at Wilson's games, and Wilson returned the favor. And when they both played at the Olympics in Paris, they were sure to pull up and support.
When Adebayo was presented the key to the city in Miami after the Olympics, Wilson flew out to be there.
"A'ja Wilson is here today —and she won gold in women's basketball!" Miami-Dade County mayor Daniella Levine Cava said during the ceremony. "I guess that has something to do with Bam and the Heat, huh? Being here today."
Wilson spoke with Elle Magazine in February and more or less confirmed the relationship.
The beautiful thing about our relationship, and our bond, is that we’re very aware of things. We know how to navigate through a lot of different things and never shy from moments, but also make sure that we uplift [each other]," she said.
"I would’ve been doing a disservice if I did not mention my favorite Olympian. Because of that favorite Olympian, you see the best of me. Because of the care and the support that not a lot of people see all the time. If I did not recognize my special Olympian, he wouldn’t be able to get his flowers."
Wilson really locked in the relationship in a cover story for Cosmo in April, when she called Adebayo "truly a gift."
In June 2025, Adebayo accompanied Wilson to the Aces' The IX Awards.

At this point, there's no doubt the superstars are in their Love and Basketball moment.
