On Wednesday morning, the Miami-Dade County Commission honored six South Florida Olympians, including Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo, with keys to the county.
Adebayo, who won a gold medal with Team USA men’s basketball team, had a notable guest in attendance for his presentation: Las Vegas Aces superstar and fellow Olympian A’ja Wilson. The two have sparked dating rumors as the pair seemingly share a secret handshake and spend quite a bit of time together away from the basketball court.
Mayor Daniella Levine Cava couldn’t help herself when she spotted Wilson at the presentation ceremony alongside Adebayo’s mom.
“I guess that has something to do with the Bam and the Heat, huh, being here today,” Cava said as she looked at Wilson, who shrugged her shoulders and laughed it off.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $18,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.

Social media apparently loved Cava’s call out.
“INSANE CALL OUT LMFAOOOOOO,” one X user posted. “HOLY W FOR MY DAWG BAM.”

Another added, “Not the mayor spilling the tea 😂.”
Others loved that the mayor, of all people, was the one to hard-launch the couple.
“Getting hard launched via local cable access TV is tough work,” an X user wrote.
