“Yes, I am. I am very happy where I am, I am loving where I am, I am very just at peace.” Just 3 months ago, A’ja Wilson confirmed her relationship status on a podcast. But the netizens did not take long to put 2 and 2 together, as earlier this month speculation of Wilson being in a relationship with Bam Adebayo spread like wildfire.
Though neither has addressed the matter officially, they have been spotted together in public a few times. The WNBA and NBA star has been selected for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Amidst the men’s first training camp in Las Vegas, a photo of the two went viral.
NBA & NFL GOSSIP on X posted a photo of the two and captioned ” Another OFFICIAL picture. Bam Adebayo and A’ja Wilson spotted together in Vegas 🤩.” Even the photo had a caption, “Bam and A’ja Wilson on a date during Team USA Camp.” Before this, the Miami Heat star was also in attendance during one of the WNBA games this season and was not alone.

Even though it was a long-distance relationship, A’ja Wilson was never short of words to hype Cunningham.”There’s just something about Josh. It’s his personality and who he is as a man that I just really enjoy. I enjoy having him as a boyfriend.” Wilson spoke in 2021, about the reason why she was in a relationship with Cunnigham.
Both have unfollowed each other on Instagram, which started the debate regarding their relationship status. But it seems the Aces star wasn’t thorough enough as she still has the posts and tweets on her X.
