They first met at a Long Beach State open gym while Chelsea attended Duke. They kept in touch as their relationship blossomed. The couple announced their engagement on June 27, 2018. They tied the knot on November 2, 2019, in a ceremony attended by notable WNBA figures such as Ify Ibekwe, Jantel Lavender, and Candace Parker.
While we don’t know the exact due date of Chelsea and her partner’s baby, it seems they could be born in time to see Chelsea and the Aces go for the three-peat. This is exciting news for the couple and their fans!
