A new Las Vegas power couple has come out this week after an NFL star tied the knot with a WNBA star. Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller and Las Vegas Aces guard Kelsey Plum, announced their wedding on social media.

They had the ceremony in Vegas and the WNBA star posted a collage of images from the wedding on her Instagram account. And fans and other celebrated sporting figures wished the couple the best.

Reigning WNBA three-point contest winner, Kelsey Plum and 2021 Pro Bowler tight end Darren Waller will surely have some highly talented kids in the gene pool. “Him 03.04.2023,” Plum captioned her Instagram post along with a black heart. And the couple looked excited to embark on the new journey.

Waller wore a cream suit with black trousers and Kelsey flaunted her wedding dress as the couple took their vows and exchanged rings. “Congrats to you all,” NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. commented on Plum’s post.

The Raiders organization also congratulated the couple. WNBA icon and Las Vegas Aces teammate Candace Parker also left a note. “Congrats, man. You look beautiful,” she wrote. The post garnered nearly 150,000 likes, which included recently retired Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers icon Tom Brady. New York Liberties star Sabrina Ionescu and NBA legend Isiah Thomas also dropped their best wishes in the comments.

Can the sharpshooter turn the fortunes for Waller?

Former Washington Huskies Plum was the no.1 draft pick in her class after a record-breaking NCAA Division 1 career. After starting in San Antonio, she became a Las Vegas native once the franchise shifted to Sin City in 2018. She took the Stars to their maiden WNBA championship in 2022 and bagged the Sixth Player of the Year Award in 2021 after returning from a devastating Achilles injury the year before.

And maybe Kelsey can now share some of that good luck with her husband. Former Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets TE Darren Waller didn’t have the best season last year. He only played nine games, scoring just 3 touchdowns over 388 passing yards for the Raiders in 2022 after coming off of a Pro Bowl selection the year before.

The 30-year-old wideout had an 1196 passing yard season in 2020. And 28-year-old Plum will surely be a motivating addition for Waller after a past of battling addictions. And if some of that championship vibes rub off, Darren and the Raiders may just reach the promised land very soon.
