Teresa Weatherspoon has a nonchalant style both on court and off court. While she has put her opponents to the test with her calm demeanor, her off-court work too reflects the same cool-headed persona. Recently she came to light when in October 2023 she was signed as the head coach of the Chicago Sky. The popular NCAA player Angel Reese was drafted as the seventh overall pick by the Sky, and it adds another glorious feather to Spoon’s cap. 

While there has been a lot of information about her prolific WNBA career and her stupendous coaching stints, not much is known about her personal life. Today, Essentially Sports takes a look at the dating life of Weatherspoon.

Williamson and Weatherspoon share a close bond as once after hearing the ordeals of the former, Spoon started crying. The 23-year-old shared on numerous occasions that Weatherspoon was his go-to person for any emotional turmoil. However, as per his own admission, he regards her as his elder sister. But then who is Weatherspoon romantically involved with?

Teresa Weatherspoon has a special connection with Tiger Woods

Weatherspoon, as per Whosdatedwho, was once in a relationship with Tyra Banks. Banks is a media personality and dons a variety of hats from being a model to a producer.

Apart from Weatherspoon, Banks is said to have relations with Will Smith, and Tiger Woods. As per Daily Mail, she dated Banks between 1993 and 94.  The duo are said to have met when she was auditioning for The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Similarly, Woods was also linked to the supermodel during the 90s. And Spoon is also said to have dated Bank around 1999.

Apart from a successful TV and film career, Banks also ventured into cosmetics, music, and writing. With such an enormous repertoire of talents, she got the opportunity to teach personal branding at Stanford University. However, nothing has ever been confirmed regarding the same by either Banks or Weatherspoon. But there have been rumors in the industry that Weatherspoon could be gay. 

Weatherspoon has lived such a private life that there are not many sources even regarding her orientation. She most probably believes in keeping her personal life away from the media and taking away all the attention with her performances during her 7-year short but illustrious career in the WNBA. And then swarming away all the paparazzi with her exceptional coaching stints.

Hopefully, Weatherspoon will once again help the Sky regain the lost glory and come out as an exceptional coach. And Reese too along with Cardoso will help the Sky prove its mettle.
