For five years they shared the court together, created commotion and brought laurels to the Chicago Sky. But amid the adrenaline-rush with which they championed their court cause, the growing emotional feelings brought them together in a beloved bond. They tied the knot in a private ceremony and began a new chapter of their lives.

For the New York Liberty’s No. 22, it was a moment of thaw. The equally intriguing aspect about the 2021 WNBA champion is her spouse’s sensational feats as a basketball player.

The tale of two teammates

Courtney Vandersloot was the third overall pick for the Chicago Sky in 2011. She played for the team for almost her entire career before joining the New York Liberty in 2023. On the other hand, Allie Quigley, who later became Courtney’s wife, started her professional career with the Phoenix Mercury. She has been here and there until she finally settled for the Chicago Sky in 2013 and played for them for almost a decade before parting ways this year.

The two first became teammates and played a crucial role in leading the Sky to the Finals in 2014 and finally getting a trophy home in 2021. Both Courtney and Allie have been on Chicago’s tenure for the longest and helped lay a foundation for the team.

However, after being teammates for almost half a decade, the two tied knot in an extremely private ceremony. The wedding was held in Seattle with just their parents. The guards from Chicago Sky did not tell the world about their relationship until two days after their marriage.

Even after marrying each other, Allie and Courtney have decided to keep basketball before their personal life.

The American-Hungarian baller started her professional career in 2008. She played as a free agent for Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA. At the same time, she was also a member of the Turkish professional basketball team — the Mersin BB. Allie has shown tremendous balling skills throughout her career and has collected multiple accolades in her name.

The 2021 WNBA champion is also a three-time WNBA All-Star, two-time WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year, and four-time Three-Point Shootout Champion. Apart from the titles she won in the WNBA, she has also made her name in the European Basketball leagues. The Sky’s star is a EuroLeague Champion, Turkish Super League winner, two-time Turkish Cup winner, Turkish Super Cup winner, and Euro Cup Women winner.
