Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller’s Relationship
Kelsey Plum, a two-time WNBA champion with the Las Vegas Aces, and Darren Waller began dating when he played for the Las Vegas Raiders. After about a year of dating, they tied the knot on March 4, 2023. The couple applied for a marriage license on January 22, 2023, and their whirlwind romance led to marriage.
