A'ja Wilson and Jayson Tatum: Is this the ultimate sports power friendship we didn't see coming?

After snagging another Olympic gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics with Team USA, A’ja Wilson is now a two-time Olympic gold medalist, in addition to being the Las Vegas Aces’ all-time leading scorer. Just the other day, Wilson dropped a bunch of pics on Instagram with the caption “Some favs from my camera roll,” and a lot of them show her time at the Paris Olympics. In one of the clips, she’s dapping up Deuce Tatum, Jayson Tatum’s little man.

Jayson Tatum posted this clip on Instagram with the caption “Auntie Aja,” showing off the sweet moment between the WNBA star and his son. Looks like A’ja Wilson is getting that ‘Auntie’ love from Jayson Tatum’s biggest fan in the new Insta story.

Deuce, born in 2017, has been a big part of his father’s life and NBA journey. He’s stolen the spotlight numerous times with his on-court appearances.”I’m around him every day. I think being able to go through this journey together, because I was 19 when I got drafted, it’s kind of like we’re growing up together. As he’s gotten older, I’m going through my career, sharing these moments, experiencing this together as we grow up,” Jayson said in a post-game conference.

By sticking with Deuce most of the time, Jayson Tatum’s always there for him. Even if Deuce isn’t right by his side, JT makes sure he’s never too far away.

In addition to this, Tatum Jr. has also joined his father at various events, including the St. Louis Cardinals baseball game, where he was invited to throw the first pitch. Now that Jayson Tatum has reposted A’ja Wilson’s post with the ‘auntie’ caption, it highlights their close relationship. However, it seems like ‘Auntie’ A’ja has been caught up in some dating rumors for a while.

Are Bam Adebayo and A’ja Wilson More Than Just Friends?

When A’ja Wilson dropped her Instagram pics the other day, many expected to see Bam Adebayo in them. And there’s a reason for that—rumors have been swirling about them dating. With that special handshake at the Olympics and seeing them together outside, people are pretty much convinced it’s a thing.

Well, these two have been spotted together a bunch of times even before the Paris events, including at a finals rematch between the Aces and the New York Liberty. And when Adebayo’s Heat teammate Jamie Jaquez Jr. was asked about it during a gaming session, he just said, “I plead the 5th.”
