On Thursday, Arike Ogunbowale's fiancee Lala Ronay took to her Instagram story to hype the Dallas Wings star for her latest initiative. Arike launched a vlog on YouTube earlier this week.
Lala shared about it with her 445k followers on Instagram and asked to watch her fiancee's vlog. She went further to hype up creative producer @eli.snapped.
"Not she has her own channel. go watch her vlogggggg," Ronay said. "snapped per usualllll."
Arike and Lala got engaged in May 2024. And while they haven't announced their marriage date, the couple were seen together in the last WNBA season.
Arike had a terrific season last year, winning the WNBA All-Star MVP award after setting a scoring record with 34 points. Despite being passed over by Team USA for the Paris Olympics, she finished the season, averaging 22.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2.1 steals per game for the Dallas Wings (9-31) who had a disappointing season.
