"Love yall": Aliyah Boston adores DiJonai Carrington and NaLyssa Smith's sweet couple moment

DiJonai Carrington and her girlfriend, NaLyssa Smith, watched Aliyah Boston, Paige Bueckers and other WNBA All-Stars play on Saturday. Carrington and Smith were at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse to cheer for former and current teammates who earned a spot in the enviable event.

On Monday, Carrington and Smith shared photos of their weekend in Indiana.

Aliyah Boston, who played with NaLyssa Smith in Indiana for two seasons, reacted to the post:

The Boston-Smith partnership in Indiana ended in January 2025 when the Fever sent her to the Dallas Wings in a multi-team trade. Smith called it a “blessing in disguise” as she teamed up with her girlfriend, Carrington. Smith and Carrington’s arrival in Dallas coincided with the drafting of former UConn superstar Paige Bueckers.

Bueckers, likewise, responded to the photos shared by NaLyssa Smith and DiJonai Carrington on Instagram:

“So no pics with your kid?… bet”

Carrington and Smith often call the No. 1 pick of the 2025 WNBA draft their kid. Bueckers jumped in on the affection, which strengthened their relationship.

Smith no longer plays alongside DiJonai Carrington and Bueckers in Dallas. The Wings traded her to the Las Vegas Aces late last month for a 2027 first-round pick. Still, the three have remained close, a status repeatedly affirmed by their interactions on social media and during the All-Star weekend in Indiana.
