Marina Mabrey and her Connecticut Sun teammate Saniya Rivers seemingly spilled the beans on a rumored romantic relationship between two rival WNBA stars. During a livestream, Mabrey claimed that Seattle Storm forward Gabby Williams and New York Liberty guard Marine Johannes were dating each other.

Rivers and Mabrey have been spending a lot of time together since they became teammates this year. During the livestream, a fan wrote that Isabelle Harrison and Natasha Cloud were their favorite couple, but the Sun rookie seemed to have no idea about their relationship.
When she asked Mabrey, the Sun star laughed hard in the background and said, “Yes.”
After quickly listing other WNBA couples, Rivers returned to chat, and another fan wrote that Gabby Williams and Marine Johannes were also a couple.
“(Williams and Johannes), they are together?” Rivers said with a big surprise. “Ohhhhh! I saw a post on TikTok with them just like in a basketball room together, but I didn’t know. That is just too cute.”
Mabrey seemingly said in the background that there were other couples in the league as well.
“There’s more? Oh, this league is messy.” Rivers said.
Marina Mabrey was about to spill more names, but Rivers asked her not to say any out loud. While Mabrey kept taking names, Rivers was left flabbergasted. It went to a point that Rivers was so shocked to hear names that she told Mabrey that she was lying. But Mabrey doubled down, saying that she knew them.
Gabby Williams and Marine Johannes both play for the French national team. Their relationship is still a rumor, and neither of the players has confirmed the relationship.
Marina Mabrey and Saniya Rivers have been getting along well with each other
Saniya Rivers was selected eighth in the 2025 WNBA draft by the Connecticut Sun. Since joining the Sun, Rivers has developed a close relationship with Marina Mabrey. The two seemed to flawlessly gel both on and off the court.
However, it has been their off-court chemistry that has fans wondering if they were dating. The teammates spend a lot of time together and are frequently seen livestreaming on TikTok and answering fans’ questions.
The last few weeks, there have been instances – from Rivers teaching Mabrey to dance to Marina Mabrey flirting with Rivers – that have gotten fans excited for a potential couple reveal in the future.
