In a moment that stunned her players and coaching staff, South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Dawn Staley revealed her long-kept secret during a heartfelt team meeting—she’s getting married!

Fighting back tears, Staley addressed her team with emotion in her voice: “You all are my family, and I wanted you to be the first to know—I’m getting married next summer, on July 12th, at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.” The room erupted in cheers, hugs, and a few happy tears from players who have long looked up to their coach as a role model both on and off the court.
Staley spoke about the importance of love, loyalty, and building a life outside of basketball. “Just like I ask y’all to trust the process and play for each other, I’m learning to take a leap of faith in my own life,” she said. “This isn’t just about me—it’s about celebrating what love looks like at any stage in life.”

Staley has kept details of her personal life mostly private throughout her illustrious career, making this announcement all the more powerful. Fans can expect more updates as the date approaches, but one thing’s certain—the wedding of one of basketball’s greatest coaches will be nothing short of legendary.
