A'ja Wilson gives Heat's Bam Adebayo major praise

WNBA star A'ja Wilson is opening up about the man that keeps her grounded off the court. 

The Las Vegas Aces star, 29, is dating Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo and says she couldn't be happier in her relationship. 

Wilson recently opened up about her relationship in a cover story with "Vogue," offering some major praise for the NBA star, who she started dating last year. 

"I'm in love," Wilson admitted. “But I also have to credit Bam because he loves me properly. I think that doesn’t get talked about a lot."

"He loves me on my days where I don’t know if I love myself, and he does it in a way that’s not love-bombing. It’s more, ‘What do you need?’ Granted, he’s attractive, yes,” she continued, adding, “But the real reason is he just knows how to love me properly. And my parents like him, so."

In their rare moments of downtime, the WNBA star says she and Adebayo enjoy doing everyday activities together like normal couples. 

They enjoy playing with her three Aussie-poodle mixes, Ace, Deuce, and Tre', playing Uno, and working out together. 

“Bam never shies away from the work,” Wilson said. “It motivates me to want to be great for him.”

Wilson and Adebayo have been dating since 2021.
