Yes Lord! 🙌
My favorite Olympian from out of town. – A’ja Wilson
Well, well, well. No more late nights wondering if A’ja Wilson and Bam Adebayo were actually a thing or if we all just collectively imagined it. No more scrolling through Olympic clips like some sort of conspiracy theorist. No more playing detective with their courtside appearances at games. It finally happened: A’ja Wilson hard launched her relationship, and she did it at her jersey retirement!

And of course, she did it in the most A’ja way possible, a way that sent WNBA news into a meltdown.
The Announcement (I’m Calling it That)
A’ja was up there getting her jersey retired at South Carolina, giving a heartfelt speech, thanking everyone important—her family, Dawn Staley, the South Carolina fans who’ve been with her since day one. And then like it was nothing, she threw in this line:
“Especially my favorite Olympian from out of town.”

That’s it. That’s the announcement. No Instagram post. No cute TikTok. Just a smirk, a little shoulder wiggle, and suddenly it was official. Meanwhile, Bam Adebayo was sitting courtside, looking cooler than a cucumber about just being hard launched.

We’ve known these two were a thing for a while now. Between the dates, the Olympics, the mayor literally calling them out, the NBA games, but they never cared to confirm it. And honestly? I respect it. But now? Now it’s real!
What’s Next?
Look, I’m just saying… if we don’t get at least one A’ja Wilson Bam Adebayo Instagram post out of this, I’m going to be upset. I need a blurry photo dump, a courtside fit check, something. And ideally? I need A’ja Wilson’s boyfriend to be the one posting it. Step up, Bam.
But even if they keep it lowkey, I respect that too.
Not A’ja calling Bam “that Olympian from out of town” 😂😂😂 They are such and unserious couple! 😂😂

For now, A’ja gets to enjoy her well-earned offseason. She’s coming off an MVP season, an impressive playoffs run, and now, A’ja Wilson stats are literally hanging in the rafters at South Carolina.
Bam? He’s busy trying to keep the Miami Heat from falling apart. But at least we don’t have to play detective anymore. WNBA games will be a little less suspenseful, and my heart is full.
