Bam Adebayo Seeks A'ja Wilson's Father's Blessing for Marriage

NBA center Bam Adebayo revealed that he nervously asked Roscoe Wilson for permission to marry his daughter, WNBA star A'ja Wilson. Roscoe responded warmly, telling Adebayo that he has A'ja’s heart and two more hearts to care for, prompting Adebayo to become emotional and briefly step away to cry. Adebayo described Roscoe as “the dad I always wanted.”

The couple have been together for at least three years, having first connected at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. In an ESPN interview for the docuseries *Life in the W*, Wilson said she feels Adebayo is now part of her family and hinted that she’s ready for the next step, joking that her ring finger is still empty. The story highlights the personal milestone in the high‑profile relationship between two Olympic gold‑medalists.
