In a plot twist straight out of a sitcom, free-agent WNBA star Emma Cannon and her partner Tia Cannon announced they’re not just welcoming one baby — they’re rolling out the red carpet for twins! The couple broke the news with an adorable Instagram post featuring their son Dior holding an ultrasound picture. Dior’s face was all smiles — probably because he’s already planning how to delegate diaper duty.
Tia’s caption nailed the “plot twist of the year” vibe, revealing their shock at learning they were getting two bundles of joy for the price of one:
“✨We were expecting one little bundle of joy… but surprise — it’s TWO! 😅👶🏽. The adventure is about to get twice as exciting, and our hearts couldn’t be fuller. Let the countdown to double the snuggles begin! 🍼✨”
The WNBA community didn’t just clap; they brought the house down with congratulations and — naturally — dibs on babysitting.
“I’m Available Tuesdays and Thursdays” – Aliyah Boston
Indiana Fever’s Aliyah Boston couldn’t hold back her excitement, offering up her services as a babysitter faster than you can say “free throws.”
“OH MY GOODNESS CONGRATSS🥹🥹. I want to babysit🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️,” Boston wrote, presumably while dusting off her Dr. Seuss collection.
Chelsea Gray and Alysha Clark of the Las Vegas Aces chimed in with emoji-laden joy. Apparently, the news of twins turned even seasoned WNBA champs into full-blown cheerleaders:
“Ahhhh!! Omg!! Congratulations!!! 😍😍😍,” Gray squealed.
“OMMMGGGGGGG😍😍😍😍❤️❤️,” added Clark, whose keyboard must still be recovering.
The Comment Section: A Love Fest
Dearica Hamby from the LA Sparks practically leaped into the virtual room with her excitement.
“LETS GOOOOOOOOOO,” she screamed (probably scaring anyone nearby).
Meanwhile, Cannon’s Aces teammate Jackie Young went the more understated route:
“Congrats!!❤️❤️,” proving not everyone needs to break their caps lock key to share joy.
Connecticut Sun’s DiJonai Carrington, who knows a thing or two about delivering clutch moments, brought her signature flair:
“Awwwwww!!!!🥺🥺🥺😍 congratulations!!!”
Her girlfriend, Indiana Fever star NaLyssa Smith, matched the energy with:
“Congratsss familyyyy 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹.”
Even two-time WNBA champion Sydney Colson couldn’t resist a full-blown celebration:
“Omgggg congratulations y’all!! 👏🏾👏🏾🎊🖤.”
Babysitting Drama Incoming?
With this tidal wave of well-wishes, one thing is clear: the Cannon twins are about to have a star-studded babysitting lineup. But here’s the real question — will Aliyah Boston and Chelsea Gray duke it out in a one-on-one to claim babysitting supremacy? Or will they form a tag team?
One thing’s for sure: Emma Cannon’s twins have already achieved MVP status in the WNBA world — and they haven’t even been born yet. Let the double-dribbling in the Cannon household begin!
Stay tuned for updates on how the WNBA stars navigate the babysitting wars and who emerges as the ultimate diaper-changing champion.
