Man, I can’t tell you how much we debated the title of this post. Sue Bird’s girlfriend or Megan Rapinoe’s girlfriend? It was tough, but since we originally wrote it in the aftermath of Sue Bird coming out, this is where we landed. ANYWAYS, Sue Bird’s girlfriend Megan Rapinoe is a professional women’s soccer player. She plays for a team called the Seattle Reign, and a little ol team called the USWNT. Bird came out…
WNBA Wives and Girlfriends (WAGS)
Diana Taurasi’s wife Penny Taylor married her in May of 2017. There, that is pretty conclusive evidence these two are in a relationship! Wouldn’t you say? (We’re mocking ourselves here. Less than a year ago, we asked the question aloud if they were together. Yes. Married = together). Since Penny Taylor married a volleyball dude in 2005, people didn’t know what the deal is. Well, now everybody knows! In fact, both People and Sports Illustrated covered the wedding in detail…

It now seems more likely that Diana Taurasi’s girlfriend Penny Taylor could be the real girlfriend. We’re trying to figure out what the deal is here, folks!

In case you’ve never heard of the guy, JayVaughn is an NBDL player who also tore his ACL in 2015. He plays for the Maine Red Claws now. Can you imagine going undrafted in the NBA Draft, as JayVaughn did, joining the Brooklyn Nets’ NBDL team and then immediately tearing your ACL? You’ve already got a…
Tamika Catchings’ husband Parnell Smith is a former player at the University of Buffalo. He’s most recognized for having won state high school titles at Pike High School in Indianapolis. A state title in Indiana is no joke; remember the movie “Hoosiers”? Standing at 6’6″ and weighing 210 pounds during his time at Pike, Parnell was a man among boys. He’s probably a lot bigger than that now that he’s doing most of his rebounding work in…
Skylar Diggins’ boyfriend Daniel Smith was introduced to the world via social media. Diggins took to Instagram to post a picture with the caption, “My good-looking honey and I”. Unfortunately, she didn’t initially identifying the man on her arm. Have no fear dear reader, we wouldn’t do that to you. Questing for the truth, the Internet sleuthed around and learned his identity. Daniel Smith is a junior wide receiver for the Fightin’ Irish. Skylar Diggins is a rare breed…
Elena Delle Donne’s girlfriend Amanda Clifton is about to get a whole lot more famous. In an interview with Vogue, the reigning WNBA MVP revealed that she is gay. The article also reveals that Elena Delle Donne’s girlfriend is Amanda Clifton. However, to be fair, Clifton is not a new name to regular followers of Delle Donne’s social media. In recent weeks, Clifton has been a regular partner in “buddy pics” (hat tip JC for…
