The past calendar year has been eventful for A’ja Wilson. The Las Vegas Aces superstar not only managed to re-establish herself as the best women’s basketball player in the world, but also has her personal life blossoming.

She first dominated the Paris Olympics and was aptly named the tournament’s MVP. She could not relay that into a successful WNBA title defense, as her Aces had roster problems that could not help them past eventual champions, the New York Liberty.

This season, they made a significant change to their lineup, trading for Jewell Loyd. But that change brought more trouble as the squad struggled with inconsistency. Once head coach Becky Hammon asked the players to take accountability, Wilson rose to her elite self, driving the team to 16 straight regular-season wins to cement her record-breaking fourth MVP award.

Then, in the playoffs, other than a minor scare at the hands of the shorthanded Indiana Fever, Wilson has been the most dominant player in the postseason. That was capped off by her heroic game-winner in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals.

In Game 4, she again led all players in scoring, helping the Aces keep their lead over the Phoenix Mercury to win the 2025 WNBA championship. After the game, she embraced her teammates and coaches.

Then, she celebrated with her parents, who were extremely happy for their superstar daughter. After that, she turned towards her boyfriend, Miami Heat superstar Bam Adebayo, and during their heartwarming embrace, said this:

Thank you for believing in me baby.

A’ja Wilson said

The Heat forward was not willing to let go of his beau, who had just dominated the league to re-establish herself as the best women’s basketball player on the planet.

Bam Adebayo has high praise for A’ja Wilson

A’ja Wilson was giving Bam Adebayo praise for lifting her spirits when all the odds seemed to stack up against her. After the on-court celebrations, when the Miami Heat star was walking down the tunnel, he said this about his girlfriend:

Super proud of her. Y’all don’t see the behind-the-scenes, the ups and downs. Being able to have this moment, and share this moment, it’s truly special, truly proud of her.

Bam Adebayo said

The 28-year-old has been beside the Aces superstar since last year, and their relationship only became official after A’ja Wilson openly mentioned it a few months ago at her jersey retirement ceremony at the University of South Carolina.

That hard launch brought the curtains down on months of rumors, with many, including NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, doing their bit to have some fun as the couple tried to hide it from the public.

A’ja Wilson had to ask Bam Adebayo to chill

After the post-game press conference and all the interviews, it was time for the players to take pictures with the trophy. A’ja Wilson, pulled her boyfriend to get pictures together with her Finals MVP trophy.

As he was standing beside her, he broke out laughing hysterically as he could not handle the smell of alcohol coming from his girlfriend. While laughing, he apparently told her:

You smell like beer.

Bam Adebayo said

Hearing this, the Aces superstar continuously asked him to ‘relax’, as he was outing her in front of the people in the vicinity. Wilson then agreed that she was stinking with the combination of sweat and alcohol working together to make it undesirable.

Alcohol might not stop flowing for a while as the Aces will continue their celebrations. A championship parade is planned to be held on October 17th, which means champagne and beer will flow for a week.
