Kelsey Plum has dipped her hands in controversy quite a bit since the Las Vegas Aces’ championship game. LVA made history by becoming the first team in 21 years to win back-to-back titles. It was not an easy task for the Aces as they were down a couple of key pieces during the finals. Freak injuries played a major role here, but they were determined enough to clinch the victory in Game 4 to defeat the New York Liberty.
Shortly after the game, the former MVP commented on the Liberty’s chemistry. She claimed that they weren’t a team and that the players only focused on themselves. This sparked rage among Liberty players with Jonquel Jones calling Plum classless. Even though the chemistry was a major issue for the Liberty, Plum didn’t articulate herself properly as she claimed she didn’t want to disrespect them.
Kelsey Plum eventually issued an apology via X claiming that she didn’t mean to throw shade at the Liberty. However, her words also included that the Liberty players did not care about each other still doesn’t sit right with many. This isn’t the only time Plum has gone viral for all the wrong reasons since Game 4. A picture of her allegedly kissing the NBA’s best-shooting guard, Devin Booker blew up on the internet. But those who watched the game the entire game would know that it isn’t true.
Kelsey Plum celebrated the Aces’ WNBA Finals victory with husband Darren Waller
The person Kelsey Plum actually kissed was Darren Waller, his husband and famed NFL tight end. Unfortunately, the angle at which the image was taken made it seem like it was Booker. There are a few other giveaways as the account that posted it was a parody page called NBA Centel. Another giveaway was Waller’s tattoos. Unlike Waller, the Phoenix Suns star does not have any visible tattoos on his hands or neck.

Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller have been together since 2021 according to multiple sources. There isn’t an exact timeline as to when they started dating. However, the pair tied the knot on March 4, 2022, just before Plum earned her first-ever title with the Aces. As both of them are constantly on duty, the couple claims that they are trying their best to maintain their relationship. For the most part, they seem deeply in love with each other.
Unlike Plum and Waller, Devin Booker isn’t married. He got out of a serious relationship with Kendall Jenner toward the end of 2022. Booker and Jenner were extremely tight and had strong feelings for each other. But their busy schedules simply didn’t help the relationship in any way. But based on his social media activity, Booker seems to have caught interest in Maya Jama. The British television star, much like Jenner is also Ben Simmons’ ex-girlfriend.
