Sue Bird adored her longtime partner, soccer legend Megan Rapinoe, as they enjoyed a wholesome day out. On Saturday, the WNBA legend posted a photo of Rapinoe on her Instagram story.
Rapinoe wore a black sleeveless top with white engravings on the back and striped shorts. She also put on glasses, a cap and had a black bag around her body.
Bird captioned the upload with a purple heart emoji and a lovely word to describe her:
"Rapinkoe"
