April 10, 2025: Wilson says she has “an amazing boyfriend who really is my safe space” during a cover interview with Cosmopolitan. “He’s truly a gift. 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.’”
She continues, “And it’s the same for me. When you can be your true self in front of someone, in front of your partner, that’s the purest form of love. At any point if I ever need a voice to hear or just a hug, he’s always there.”
When asked how long they’ve been together, she replies, “Publicly, not even a lot.”
February 18, 2025: When asked about her Valentine’s Day plans at the NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco, Wilson tells People that “my NBA All-Star is not here,” adding that he’s “getting the rest he needs” during the All-Star break. “And that’s the best Valentine gift that I can truly give him, is just the rest.”
While she wouldn’t answer if she and Adebaya are each other’s Valentines, she spoke a bit about his support after “years” of friendship. According to Wilson, Adebayo “really wanted to be at the forefront of pushing my shoes,” adding, “If I have to put it out in the NBA, why not have someone like Bam Adebayo, who’s just a good person all around, to kind of showcase my shoes, so I was thankful he was able to wear it.”
February 7, 2025: Adebayo wears a pair of Wilson’s signature A’One Nike sneakers during a game against the Brooklyn Nets. “I was blessed enough to have my shoe be on an NBA court—one of the biggest platforms in the world,” Wilson said when the topic was brought up a few days later, per one video shared on social media. “So I’m glad that people can love on it as much as I love on it.”
