WNBA star Aliyah Boston has fans buzzing once again — and this time, it’s not about basketball. The Indiana Fever standout has ignited conversations about marriage and starting a family after renewed attention on her long-term relationship with boyfriend Tre-Vaughn Minott.
Boston is reportedly dating Minott, a fellow basketball player, and their love story has been quietly growing for years. According to reports, the couple has been together since 2020, after first meeting on the University of South Carolina (USC) campus.
Minott once recalled their first interaction in an interview with The State, and the moment sounds straight out of a rom-com. Spotting Boston, he walked up to her and casually said, “Hey, let me tell you a joke.” The unexpected move worked — she laughed, and the connection was instant.
“It was out of nowhere,” Minott said. “And that’s it. Just from there. We laugh about it every day. Every single day. It was just like an instant spark.”
Since then, the couple has never fully hidden their relationship. While both keep their private lives relatively low-key, they occasionally give fans a glimpse into their bond through social media. In February 2025, Minott shared a throwback photo of the two with a heart emoji for Valentine’s Day — a post that quickly caught attention and fueled speculation about what might be next for the pair.
With Boston entering her prime years in the WNBA and Minott continuing his basketball journey, fans are now wondering whether wedding bells — and future family plans — could be on the horizon.
