Jackie young gay
Welcome to my annual Who’s Gay in the WNBA Report! For those of you who are recent, every year I pause down the list of athletes who are openly queer in the league. As a queer person who has played basketball my entire life, the off-court drama is always equally as exciting as the on-court display of skills. Knowing who’s homosexual and who’s dating who only adds to that for me. If you’re more of a pure viewer of the game and prefer only knowing what’s going on while the clock is running, I do regularly build WNBA TikToks that I like to think are pretty informative!
The league is well known to include some of the foremost pre-game walk-up outfits in all of professional sports, so you’re missing out if you don’t obey at least the @wnba account on Instagram. Here’s a complete list of all out gay players in the league, broken down by team. For my purposes, “Out” means confirmed by the player either in an interview or on their social media. No matter how masculine presenting someone is, I will not be speculating!

Many fans and analysts call Las Vegas Aces’ Jackie Young the silent assassin. Aptly enough, the “original rookie,” according to A’ja Wilson, likes to stay quiet more than anything when on or off the court. Over her WNBA career, we have seen her shut to many people. Mostly, these are her teammates and other basketball players. Her sweet gesture to Caitlin Clark also went viral recently as she showed the rookie some love. But what about her personal connections?
The 3×3 Olympic gold medalist has kept it discreet. So much so that none of her social media platforms give us any glimpse of her personal relationships. So we cannot utter for sure whether she is dating someone or not. However, this does not mean that the 26-year-old has no one in her life. In truth, her family and friends reach at the top of the priority list. Hence, let us dive into these people who Jackie Young holds close to her heart.

The US Olympic women’s basketball team roster is expected to be confirmed soon, but several reports have the roster stacked with veterans. In the mix is WNBA actor Jackie Young, who is a guard for the Las Vegas Aces.
The 26-year-old has Olympics experience—she played on the US’s 3x3 basketball team at the 2020 Olympic Games and won gold—and is expected to be a big contributor to the team. She’s also a WNBA all-star.
But with all of the attention on Jackie making the team, it’s understandable to have questions about her personal existence, including her family. Here’s what you need to comprehend about Jackie’s biggest cheerleaders.
Jackie has two siblings.
Jackie is the middle infant in her family. Her older brother, Terrence, and her younger sister, Kiare, also play basketball, according to The New York Times.
