DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas are a pretty great team on the court, as they've helped the Phoenix Mercury become the second-highest-ranking team in the WNBA's Western Conference for the 2025 season.

The thing is, they're even closer off the court, as the pair got engaged in September 2023!

We're going to take a look into Thomas' background and see how her love story with her teammate and future wife unfolded.

Thomas began receiving attention for her basketball skills playing for Central Dauphin High School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

The athlete graduated in 2010, and she signed on to play basketball for the University of Maryland.

Thomas became the Terrapins' all-time leader in several categories, including points, rebounds and free throws made, according to the team's official website.

The basketball star graduated from the University of Maryland in 2014, and the school retired her jersey number on her Senior Day.

Thomas' career in the WNBA began in 2014, when she was drafted by the New York Liberty ... before being traded to the Connecticut Sun.

The athlete, who plays as a power forward, remained with the team for several seasons, and she ultimately left the Sun in 2024.

Thomas has also been associated with various international teams over the length of her career, which has seen her play in countries like South Korea and the Czech Republic.

Thomas' career with the Phoenix Mercury began in February 2025, when the team announced it had acquired the athlete as part of a trade.

In case it wasn't apparent already, Bonner and Thomas met through their involvement with the WNBA, and Bonner jokingly told CBS News she'd "stalked" her now-fiancée's Instagram account in the beginning stages of their relationship.

The pair's connection deepened further when they were required to remain in bubbles with the rest of their team for part of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The happy couple went public with their relationship in 2021, and the Mercury revealed their engagement in a post on its official X account two years later.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift? If this old clip of his dating dealbreakers is any clue, these two have long been going at it like rabbits!

Travis' comments left Ramona in shock, so he explained himself -- saying if a girl didn’t want to get intimate, he’d think twice ... especially after spoiling her with top-tier dates the first two times. In his mind, date three was the perfect setup for the grand finale.

Caitlin Clark's earned herself plenty of supporters over the course of her career in collegiate and professional basketball -- and it looks like her boyfriend Connor McCaffery's one of her biggest fans!

The WNBA star and the assistant coach have been together ever since 2023 ... although he'd already made a name for himself in the sports world.

We're going to check out the background of the former college athlete and see what the Indiana Fever's point guard has had to say about her relationship.

Clark's not the only one with experience on the court, as her boyfriend formerly played guard for the University of Iowa team.

The former college athlete picked up several distinctions for his work on and off the court, and he was a five-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree, according to Hawkeye Sports.

And it turns out basketball runs in McCaffery's family, because his father Fran worked as a coach for much of his life.

The senior McCaffery coached at the University of Iowa for 15 years ... and he switched over to working at his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, in 2025.

McCaffery graduated from the University of Iowa in 2023, and he subsequently started his professional career as a team assistant for the Indiana Pacers ... and just in case you forgot, Clark plays for the Indiana Fever.

McCaffery remained with the team for one season before he began following in his father's footsteps, taking on an assistant coaching position at Butler University in September 2024.

Butler's head coach, Thad Matta, issued a statement at the time to speak about hiring McCaffery, and expressed he was "excited for the impact" the new assistant coach would have on the school's team, according to Fox News.

Clark shared her reaction to her boyfriend's new venture on her Instagram Story, writing she was "so happy" for her partner.

Clark and McCaffery went Instagram official with their relationship in August 2023, when she posted a photo featuring the assistant coach on her account, according to Us Weekly.

The assistant coach posted on his own Instagram Story after his girlfriend became the leading scorer in the NCAA women's basketball history the following April, writing he was "so proud" of his partner's achievement.

Clark celebrated McCaffery's birthday in July 2024 with photos of him on her Instagram, and she quipped he might finally be able to "find a way to outshoot me" in her post's caption.

Check out the video ... Pam, Liam and Andy are talking about Pam's skincare brand, Sonsi Skin, and Pam pulls out some of her signature lip balm.

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes has made a career of striking out batters left and right -- but it looks like he hit a home run with his girlfriend, Livvy Dunne!

The athlete and the influencer have been together for a few years now, and they've become pretty comfortable showing their affection in public ... like when he tied her lace-up heel right before the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.

We're going to check out what the social media figure was up to before she met the pro athlete ... and see what brought them together.

Dunne's been a gymnast for several years, and she was formerly a member of the U.S. Junior National Gymnastics Team.

She later joined Louisiana State University's gymnastics team in 2020, and she helped her teammates earn the 2024 NCAA Women's Gymnastics National Championship title.

Dunne's popularity can partially be attributed to the NCAA's Name, Image and Likeness rule, which was implemented in 2021 and lets college athletes participate in sponsorships and make endorsements.

The former college athlete really caught the wave at the right time -- and she's raked in a cool $4.1 million through her collaborations with various companies, according to On3.

Dunne began her career as an influencer after the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and earned herself several million followers on TikTok before she'd even started college.

Although she was initially faced with "learning curves" and "had to learn on my own how to navigate" her social media fame, according to ESPN, she evidently figured out a solid rhythm, because she was featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 and TIME100 Creators lists.

The influencer has since linked up with content creator platform Passes -- in what was described as a "multi-million-dollar deal," according to Sports Illustrated -- which allows her to create exclusive content for fans.

Oh yeah, and she was featured as one of the cover models for the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue ... after being included in the annual publication in both 2023 and 2024, of course.

Dunne and Skenes met while they were both attending LSU, and her fans began speculating about the state of their relationship after she was spotted wearing a jersey with his name on it in a video shared on her TikTok account in 2023.

The happy couple went public with their relationship that August, and they've been spotted on plenty of red carpets -- and cute dates, naturally -- ever since then.

The influencer opened up about her romance with Skenes in an interview with People, where she expressed neither she nor her boyfriend would "restrict each other from doing things" in their respective professional lives.

Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios are still together -- so says the social media star herself -- shutting down breakup rumors in a 20-minute video message aimed at the trolls!

"It's so funny," Earle said on Wednesday.

Justin Trudeau was totally vibing as he heard Katy Perry "Roar" at Wednesday's "Lifetimes" tour!

Several videos posted by fellow concertgoers show the former Canadian Prime Minister with a cautious grin on his face ... swaying and completely locked in on KP as she belted out her biggest hits.

We even caught him in a full-teeth smile as he sang along to "Roar" ... while the pop star flew over him in her oversized mechanical butterfly -- yes, the one that nearly threw her into the crowd a few weeks ago.

Justin Trudeau attended Katy Perry’s Montreal concert … 2 days after being spotted having dinner and cozy drinks together.

The former Canadian Prime Minister was seen in great seats at the singers concert Wednesday night.

We broke the story ... the couple had dinner on Monday night in Canada. Friends close to Trudeau told us they’re just pals however, we obtained video of them on a cozy drink date and out walking Katie’s dog earlier in the day.

As you know, Katy's been enjoying single life following her split from Orlando Bloom -- the two share a daughter. Meanwhile, Trudeau and his ex-wife Sophie separated in 2023 after an 18-year marriage.

Cash Warren says he's happy Jessica's moving on with Danny Ramirez ... but, he's not rushing back into the dating pool quite so soon himself!

Photogs caught up with Cash at LAX on Wednesday ... and, he said there's no ill will between the two despite her new romance -- 'cause he's happy she's happy.

Warren says he hasn't met Danny yet ... but, he seems like a nice enough dude.

A casual stroll, a swanky dinner, and now TMZ can reveal Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau wrapped it up with cozy drinks on a terrace -- a really long hangout session for two A-listers ... but sure, they're totally "just friends."👀

Yep, it’s the hangout that keeps on giving, and TMZ’s got every moment. Check this video -- Justin was looking every bit the ladies' man, arm practically welded to Katy’s waist as they left Montreal’s Taverne Atlantic ... with sources telling us they enjoyed some drinks on the terrace.

If that doesn’t scream romance, then we don't know what does. Whiskey is on the menu at the Atlantic ... but we're told when Katy first ordered a Jack and Coke, she quickly found out they don’t sell much American liquor in Canada due to the new tariffs ... so she ordered Crown Royal Canadian whiskey instead.

The terrace tête-à-tête capped off a whirlwind few hours that, as TMZ told you, started with a scenic park stroll.
