Elena Delle Donne is Married To Girlfriend Amanda Cliffton 

Elena, who had been keeping her love life away from the media, revealed about her relationship with Amanda in an interview with Vogue magazine in 2016. However, the 28-years old basketballer has not opened up on how their relationship began, but it is reported that they met through a mutual friend in 2012.

Amanda, the founder of Delle Donne Academy, recalled the moment when she fell in love with Elle Donne saying:

I knew I fell in love when there was a weekend I was supposed to be going home to see my family and I literally could not get myself to leave Elena’s house. I kept stalling and making up reasons to wait a little bit longer before I left. I had never felt that feeling of not wanting to leave someone so badly!

And after 4 years of dating, they got engaged on June 2, 2016. Delle Donne, who believes that heterosexual relationship should also work the same way as other relationship said:

If a guy wants to be asked, he should be asked. And with proposals it doesn’t matter if they’re male or female. It was always a dream for someone to ask us, which made both of our proposals so special.
