Adebayo‑Wilson marriage blessing

Entities: Bam Adebayo · A'ja Wilson · Roscoe C. Wilson Jr. · Roscoe Wilson · Miami Heat

Overview

In late July 2026 NBA center Bam Adebayo publicly described asking WNBA star A'ja Wilson’s father, Roscoe Wilson, for permission to marry his daughter. He said the conversation was the most terrifying question he’d ever posed, became emotional and even cried, after which Roscoe warmly gave his blessing, telling Adebayo he now has two hearts to care for.

A few days later, Adebayo repeated the story in an ESPN docuseries, adding that the couple’s relationship had been made public in February 2025 after dating since the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and that their romance was first spotted at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Wilson confirmed she wants to marry Adebayo, joking about an engagement ring “in the works.” The two snapshots together trace the couple’s progression from a private courtship to a publicly celebrated milestone.
