Four-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson had a message for her beau after capping her latest standout season with another championship.
Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces defeated the Phoenix Mercury in Game 4 of the WNBA Finals on Friday to secure the franchise’s third championship in the past four years.
Wilson was named the Finals MVP for the second time in her career. She also earned WNBA Defensive Player of the Year honors for a third time. Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo, who is in a relationship with Wilson, was on hand for Friday’s clincher.

Videos shared across social media showed Wilson and Adebayo embracing and celebrating the special moment. One video showed a tearful Wilson telling Adebayo, “Thank you for believing in me, baby.”
In another video, the Miami center shared some of his thoughts on Wilson.
“Super proud of her,” Adebayo said.
“Y’all don’t see the behind-the-scenes, the ups and the downs. So, being able to obviously have this moment with her and share this moment … truly special, truly proud of her. Like I tell everybody, be thankful for it while it’s here.”
