Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller: welcome newborn baby girl a joyful addition to the family

Darren Waller insists he and wife Kelsey Plum are very much still together, despite the New York Giants star posting a bizarre video with the caption: ‘When yo girl about to leave you’.

Waller, who endured a miserable debut season with the 6-11 Giants after being traded from the Las Vegas Raiders last March, sparked speculation over his marriage to WNBA champion Plum when he uploaded the video on TikTok earlier this week.

Titled ‘When yo girl about to leave you’, the clip saw him mime and dance along to the 1972 song ‘Think It Over’ by The Delfonics, which starts off with the lyrics: ‘You lost a very good man. Think it over baby.’

Darren Waller and Kelsey Plum made headlines when they got married on March 4, 2023, without ever publicly confirming their relationship.

While the couple have not revealed when they started seeing one another, or how exactly they met, they did attend some of the same events over the last two years. The New York Giants tight end has gone to his now-wife’s WNBA games since 2021. They also went to various team and sporting events for their respective Las Vegas teams together (Waller played for the Las Vegas Raiders until March 2023).

“The Vegas vibe has been unbelievable,” Plum told PEOPLE in December 2022 about Sin City, where they were both based at the time. “I didn’t realize the impact that we [Las Vegas Aces] would have on this community. They just appreciate winning. We’re the first professional franchise to bring a championship to Las Vegas, and the people really are just hyped and proud.”

From their individual careers to details about their wedding, here’s everything to know about Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller’s relationship.

Plum’s athletic talent comes from her mother, Katie, who played college volleyball at the University of California, Davis, and her father, Jim, who was a basketball player and an All-American football player at San Diego State University.  Additionally, her two older sisters are accomplished volleyball players, while her brother was a tight end for UC Davis.

Plum began her basketball career in high school, where she posted nearly 20 points per game. She later committed to the University of Washington, where she was named captain of her team. As of 2023, Plum holds the most career points for a woman at the college level. She also was a member of Team USA’s U19 Team, which won a gold medal at the Pan American Games.
