NextImg:A’ja Wilson shares tender moment with Bam Adebayo after Aces win WNBA championship

Basketball’s power couple shared a touching moment after the Aces won the WNBA championship Friday night.

Aces star A’ja Wilson and her boyfriend, Heat center Bam Adebayo, embraced on the court after Wilson led Las Vegas to a third championship in four years.

“You got it done,” Adebayo could be heard telling Wilson.

“Thank you for believing in me baby,” Wilson told Adebayo.

The two also took a selfie while celebrating.

Wilson, 29, confirmed her relationship with Adebayo in February 2025 after first sparking dating rumors in the previous summer.

She made history this year, becoming the first ever player to win MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and Finals MVP in the same season.

Her Aces side swept the Mercury in four games, clinching the series with a 97-86 win Friday night in Phoenix.

Wilson recorded 31 points, nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals.

In Game 3, she hit a clutch game-winning bucket in the dying seconds before helping the Aces close out in Game 4.

She averaged 28.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and one steal in the Finals.

“You have your Mount Rushmore; she’s alone on Everest,” Aces coach Becky Hammon said after the game. “There’s no one around.”

Wilson has spent all eight of her seasons in the WNBA with the Aces, winning MVP four times as well as Rookie of the Year.

Adebayo, 28, is entering his ninth season with the Heat.

He is a three-time All-Star, was named to the All-NBA Defensive Second Team four times and the All-NBA Defensive First team once.

“Super proud of her,” Adebayo told the WNBA’s official X account. “Y’all don’t see the behind the scenes, the ups and the downs, so being able to obviously have this moment with her and share this moment, it’s truly special. I’m truly proud of her and like I tell everybody, be thankful for it while it’s here.”
