WNAB star DeWanna Bonner revealed that she had no intentions of dating a teammate after her messy breakup with Candice Dupree.
Bonner is in a relationship with teammate Alyssa Thomas and the Connecticut Sun stars will soon tie the knot.
However, before Bonner had come into a romantic relationship with Thomas, she was involved with former basketball player Candice Dupree. They met each other in their time together at the Phoenix Mercury.
The couple got married in 2014 and had twin kids together but soon after that, their marriage fell apart and Bonner was traded to the Connecticut Sun.
The two-time WNBA champion revealed that she decided to never date a teammate ever again after her breakup with Dupree.
"I wasn’t trying to get into another relationship, especially with a teammate, after I’d just come off of one. That just was not in my goals or vision at all," Bonner said. (via SB Nation)
However, things took a turn and Bonner and Thomas ended up dating each other. They got engaged in July during the All-Star weekend last year and had kept things between them private before the announcement.
"My first relationship was so public. I just wanted to enjoy my relationship with her for a little bit before we let the world know and everybody formed their opinion," Bonner said.
Now, after being engaged for almost a year, the couple have decided to tie the knot.
Although there isn't a fixed date yet, the Sun stars are in the process of planning it out. DeWanna Bonner is currently representing her country as part of the USA Women's National Basketball Team competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
