This marks the third WNBA title that Wilson and her Aces squad have won in the past four years, and the second time that Wilson was awarded the WNBA Finals MVP after being the focal point of her team&#8217;s successful postseason run.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5l\">What&#8217;s more, Wilson won her second consecutive WNBA MVP award this year, which is the fourth such award she has received in her legendary career, and she won her third WNBA Defensive Player of the Year Award (although she was a co-winner alongside Minnesota Lynx standout Alanna Smith) in 2025, as well. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5o\">Wilson&#8217;s recent wins aren&#8217;t limited to her on-court accomplishments. While most of the basketball community suspected that Wilson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/onsi\/womens-fastbreak\/news\/a-ja-wilson-called-out-for-supporting-bam-adebayo-at-special-ceremony-01j6ywbvh6r4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">was in a romantic relationship<\/a> with Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo for much of last year, the couple finally went public and official with each other this year and are clearly still going strong. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/01k8e79cvrn9hftfmwdc.jpg\" alt=\"Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (13) reacts against the Milwaukee Bucks on October 6, 2025\" title=\"Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (13) reacts against the Milwaukee Bucks on October 6, 2025\" width=\"3056\" height=\"1719\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"5x\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Oct 6, 2025; Miami, Florida, USA; Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (13) reacts against the Milwaukee Bucks during the second quarter at Kaseya Center.

During her induction speech, Wilson looked toward Adebayo (who was in attendance) and said, &#8220;To my boyfriend,&#8221; before pausing for a laugh while the crowd reacted. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"67\">She then continued, &#8220;Even though you went to Kenyucky [Adebayo attended Kentucky], and you went to that royal blue school, thank you for the constant support always. You weren&#8217;t there for the young A&#8217;ja, but your support has always been unwavering to this point. So thank you,&#8221; per an X post from Chaz R.
