Breanna Stewart’s greatness isn't limited to the basketball court. From being one of the greatest to ever play in the WNBA, the New York Liberty star has shown that it’s not impossible to be a good parent. It is her wife Marta Xargay who has seen the WNBA star excel at both her duties.

Earlier today, Xargay took to her social media handle to show her love for the family. Players Tribune dropped a video on social media in dedication to Stewart and Team USA ahead of their semifinal match against Australia.

Xargay reposted the video in a series of Instagram stories and wrote emotional messages for Stewart.

In the first story of the video, Breanna Stewart was seen accepting her 2023 MVP award with her daughter. Stewart is seen telling her daughter Ruby that she is the one who helps her stay motivated.

“To be a role model to you Ruby is really what keeps me going, and today, you get to see your mommy win MVP,” Stewart had said in her speech.

Reposting the post on her IG story, Xargay wrote:

“I love my family.”

In the next story, Xargay reposted the story from MJ Day, the editor for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. In the same video, Day wrote a long message dedicated to Stewart and all the athletes in the world.

“It’s so important to be reminded that these incredible elite athletes are so much more than the jersey on their back and medal around their necks,” Day wrote in the story.

In the next story, Xargay reposted Breanna Stewart’s story which said:

“Love having my family here with me,” tagging her wife Xargay in the story.

Stewart has been joined by wife Xargay and her two children, Ruby and son Theo.
