Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo has always been private about his relationship with A’ja Wilson, but recently, the couple has been more open about their romance, much to the delight of fans. Adebayo’s teammate, Norman Powell, spilled the beans on Adebayo’s newfound lovey-dovey music choices during an episode of the “Ball in the Family Podcast with Lonzo and Gelo Ball.”
According to Powell, Adebayo has been listening to a mix of music genres, including Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Keyshia Cole, all thanks to his relationship with Wilson. While the couple hasn’t publicly discussed how they started dating, fans were quick to catch on when Adebayo surprised Wilson by hand-delivering her fourth WNBA MVP trophy.
In response to Wilson’s historic achievement, Adebayo shared his admiration for her, calling her a “special person” and expressing gratitude for being able to celebrate her success while she’s still around to enjoy it. Wilson, on the other hand, has been vocal about her desire to start a family, referring to Adebayo as her “life partner” in a TIME Magazine interview.
However, the couple recently faced an awkward moment when NBA journalist Rachel Nichols made a strange comment about their future family plans during an interview with OKC Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Nichols jokingly asked SGA if Thunder GM Sam Presti would attend a sonogram for Wilson and Adebayo’s future baby, a question that didn’t sit well with the couple.
Both Wilson and Adebayo took to social media to express their discomfort with Nichols’ question, with Wilson questioning the appropriateness of the comment and Adebayo highlighting the importance of privacy. Fans also joined in criticizing the journalist’s question, deeming it invasive and unnecessary.
Overall, Adebayo and Wilson’s relationship has captured the hearts of fans, with their public displays of affection and mutual support for each other. As they continue to navigate their romance in the spotlight, it’s clear that the couple values their privacy and will speak out against any unwanted intrusion into their personal lives.
