New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart and her wife, Marta Xargay, have once again proven they’re the internet’s favorite power couple. In a sun-soaked Instagram post that could melt even the coldest hearts, the WNBA champion gave fans a glimpse of her idyllic Sunday with Xargay. Spoiler alert: it involved beaches, food, and cameos by her former teammate Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis.
Beach vibes and foodie fun
The 18-slide extravaganza started with Stewart and Xargay looking effortlessly adorable on a beach day straight out of a rom-com. Between shots of waves and sunshine, the post also showcased a video of Stewart showing off her culinary “skills” (if aggressively enjoying a meal counts) while Xargay’s playful reaction suggested she might reconsider their dining-out options.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get more wholesome, in came Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, Stewart’s ride-or-die from her UConn and Seattle Storm days. Is this the ultimate #SquadGoals post or what?
Love, basketball, and sleep deprivation
For those keeping track, 2024 has been a huge year for Stewart. Not only did she lead the New York Liberty to their first-ever WNBA championship, but she also welcomed her second child, Theo Josep, with Xargay. And yes, she’s doing all this while juggling toddler tantrums, sleep deprivation, and championship-level basketball. If there were an MVP award for life, she’d probably win that too.
In a recent interview with ESPN’s Hannah Storm, Stewart didn’t hold back on praising Xargay for holding down the fort.
“It’s tough to balance being a toddler parent and an athlete,” she confessed. “But Marta makes it easier. When I’m at the gym, I can focus on the team. When I’m home, I switch gears to family mode—though the sleep deprivation? That part you just survive.”
Honestly, who knew balancing a WNBA career and parenthood could sound this relatable?
Unrivaled ambition
As if 2024 wasn’t already a banner year, Stewart is gearing up for another milestone: the launch of the Unrivaled league. Co-founded with Napheesa Collier, this 3×3 league is the WNBA offseason alternative that players—and fans—have been waiting for.
Launching on January 17 in Miami, the league promises to shake things up with stars like Jewell Loyd, Courtney Vandersloot, and Aaliyah Edwards taking the court. Plus, with TNT, TruTV, and Max broadcasting the games, this isn’t just a league—it’s a statement.
Stewart, of course, will bring her A-game, balancing parenthood, championship rings, and redefining women’s basketball as we know it.
Final thoughts: The Stewart-Xargay supremacy
Whether she’s dominating the court, parenting two adorable kids, or giving us Instagram content to swoon over, Breanna Stewart continues to prove she’s unstoppable. Marta Xargay, meanwhile, remains the unsung hero of this power couple, effortlessly supporting Stewart while serving looks and laughs in equal measure.
As for that Sunday fam jam? Let’s just say it’s giving us all something to aspire to—whether or not we can dunk like Breanna.
