Dawn Staley exemplifies women’s emancipation with her revolutionary basketball achievements. But her personal life, especially her relationship status and outlook on marriage, are different.
The coach has never spoken about her partners or lets people doubt her sexuality.
Dawn Staley, Lisa Boyer, lesbians?
Staley has never spoken publicly about her relationship status or partner, leaving admirers to speculate.
Due to her boldness, many fans assume she’s a homosexual. Long-standing speculation. Zaria tweeted in 2014, “I think Dawn Staley’s gay.”
In March 2021, another Twitter user assumed she was lesbian, however, she said she didn’t know. “Dawn Staley a diff type of old fine.. homosexual self.. ion even know if she’s gay, but she looks it,” she tweeted.
Lesbian preconceptions weren’t random. Staley is close to South Carolina coach Lisa Boyer.
In a now-deleted tweet, the three-time Olympian called herself and Boyer a married couple. She praised Boyer for sacrificing her career for her.
Dawn Staley tweeted on 7 May 2018 about Lisa Boyer’s support.
The tweet is the only evidence that Staley is married to Lisa Boyer. They haven’t verified their connection or called each other partners.
