Rumors Wilson and Adebayo were dating began circulating last summer, around the time of the Paris Olympics. Both were on the women's and men's rosters for Team USA, respectively, and their interactions during the games left many folks wondering if they were more than just friends.
In February of 2025, Wilson subtly confirmed their relationship to People Magazine during NBA All-Star Weekend. When asked about her Valentine's Day plans, she replied: "My NBA All-Star is not here. That's the best Valentine gift that I can truly give him, is just the rest."
Both Wilson and Adebayo have built their own fan followings, but more people are starting to ship them as a couple, as well.

The basketball superstars have shown unabashed support for each other, both on and off the court. Adebayo wore Wilson's signature Nikes during a game against the Brooklyn Nets, for example, while Wilson has been present at some of Adebayo's bigger events, including his key to the city ceremony in Miami-Dade County.
Both superstars were initially mum about their romance, but they've opened up in subtle ways in recent months.
"I have an amazing boyfriend who really is my safe space. He's truly a gift," Wilson told Cosmo Sports in April. "He's obviously in the same field, so we bounce off different things with one another to where it's like, no, we're not alone. He's helped me through a lot and welcomed me to be who I'm going to be. I know he's like, 'I don't know what A'ja I'm going to get today, but I'm blessed to be beside her.'"
