A'ja Wilson uses popular meme to respond to dating rumors involving Bam Adebayo
A'ja Wilson and Bam Adebayo have been seen together on several occasions over the past few months, sparking theories that the pair might be dating. Social media has been flooded with posts and memes about their potential relationship, catching Wilson's attention.
Wilson took to X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday morning, posting a meme from Jerry Springer from a Real Girlfriend vs Online Girlfriend episode, as a response to the dating rumors.
This week, during an event where Bam Adebayo and five other Miami-based Olympians were presented with the key to Miami-Dade, Mayor Daniella Levine Cava pointed out that A'ja Wilson was in the audience.
Mayor Cava also cracked a joke about Wilson's attendance at the event, joking that perhaps it had something to do with Bam Adebayo being presented with a key to the city. As the camera panned over to Wilson, she was seen laughing, with NBA fans and WNBA fans taking note.
Wilson had played in a home game for the Las Vegas Aces the night before, but she took the five-hour flight to Miami to attend the event, further fueling relationship rumors.
Looking at the A'ja Wilson-Bam Adebayo dating rumors
The rumors of Bam Adebayo and A'ja Wilson dating have been a major talking point for NBA and WNBA fans throughout this summer. In July, when the two were in Las Vegas for Team USA training camps ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, a photo of the two appeared online.
Although the duo were both looking to capture gold for Team USA at the Olympics, they were seen out in public together enjoying some off time, and the photo quickly went viral. However, this was just the beginning of the dating rumors surrounding the two.
At the 2024 Paris Olympics, the pair were then seen sharing a secret handshake after Adebayo was in attendance to watch A'ja Wilson and Team USA win gold. After the pair's secret handshake went viral, fans joked that it was incredibly obvious there was something between the two.
After the Paris Olympics, Adebayo was seen playfully teasing Wilson on X, fuelling further speculation.
Adebayo posted on X, asking whether people still iron their clothes after the COVID-19 Pandemic. Even though he did not tag Wilson, fans deduced that it was a response to a pre-game photo of Wilson wearing a wrinkled plain white t-shirt ahead of the game against LA Sparks on August 18.
Many fans took the post to be a playful dig, and evidence that there's more going on behind the scenes than the pair are letting on.
While the two are keeping things quiet, it sounds as though fans are confident there's more to this friendship than meets the eye.
