Sports phenomenon Breanna Stewart met her wife, Marta Xargay, while doing the thing she loves best: playing basketball.
Stewart, a New York native, was in Russia playing for the team Dynamo Kursk when she met Xargay, who was born in Spain. Both of them joined the squad for the 2018-19 season, but they didn’t immediately hit it off because they already had their own friends on the team.

Xargay announced her retirement from pro basketball in 2021, but she’s continued supporting Stewart as she dominates the WNBA, first as a two-time champion with the Seattle Storm and now as a power forward with the New York Liberty.
“You and me,” Xargay wrote via Instagram in January 2023, sharing a sweet snap of her and Stewart. “It’s a forever kind of thing.”
