Women’s basketball is finally getting the respect it deserves — and a lot of thanks goes to the unreal athleticism of several key players, like A’ja Wilson. She is a household name after becoming the all-time leading scorer for the Las Vegas Aces and a two-time, back-to-back WNBA champion. If that wasn’t enough, she won an Olympic gold medal while competing at the 2021 Tokyo Games, and she’s currently playing for Team USA during the 2024 Paris Olympics. I’m honestly tired just writing this very shortened list of her accolades and accomplishments.
A’ja has been wowing sports fans since her days at the University of South Carolina before going pro, and she’s managed to keep her dating life mostly out of the public eye. She has over 1 million followers on Instagram, tons of high-paying endorsement deals, and authored a book, so ignoring men is probably the smartest thing she could do. But, in the name of being a nosy betch, I will now present to you A’ja’s dating history and current relationship status.
A’ja has publicly been in one long-term relationship with fellow basketball player, Josh Cunningham. The pair reportedly met in high school before going on to different colleges, with A’ja at USC and Josh attending the University of Daytona. Josh went undrafted during the 2018 NBA draft. He spent the next season playing for G-league team Westchester Knicks before heading overseas to suit up for the Euroleague.
“Look I can’t tell you how many people I meet in a day, how many people I run into and talk to. But there’s just something about Josh,” A’ja told The Dayton Daily News in 2018. “It’s his personality and who he is as a man that I just really enjoy. I enjoy having him as a boyfriend.”

They seemed to be making it work long-distance, but fans began speculating about their relationship status when they unfollowed each other on social media. A’ja and Josh are both Leos, so please use this information however you’d like ….
The WNBA star has sparked romance rumors with 6-foot-9 Miami Heat player Bam Adebayo. A’ja and Bam were photographed together in Las Vegas in July and speculation about the pair has been floating around on TikTok for months. A’ja and Bam have stayed quiet about their status, but they will be floating in the same orbit for the next few weeks, as Bam is also a fellow Olympian.
He is in Paris to play for Team USA after winning a gold medal during the Tokyo Games. Maybeeee they’ll deepen their connection in the City of Love — once all the sporting is done.
