It’s been a life-changing few days for all the players chosen for the 2025 WNBA draft, but doubly so for Shyanne Sellers, who can now call herself a professional baller and an engaged woman.

Faith Masonius, Sellers’ fiancé, shared news of their engagement to her Instagram on Sunday.

"Forever & More," she wrote alongside emojis of a white heart and a diamond ring. The pictures captured the moment that Sellers got down on one knee and proposed amidst candles and rose petals, as well as other special moments the happy couple shared on the same day.

Sellers and Masonius originally met while playing basketball for the University of Maryland. They’ve been public about their relationship on social media since mid-2024, with Masonius wishing a happy birthday to "my person," and Sellers doing the same just two months later.

"Happy Birthday to my forever person!" she wrote at the time. "I pray that I walk the rest of my life with you."

Just one day after Masonius posted about their engagement, Sellers received another big "yes" when she was chosen by the Golden State Valkyries as the 17th draft pick.

According to Outsports, it was initially expected that Sellers would be chosen earlier by the Washington Mystics, but the Valkyries are clearly thrilled to have come away with such a star player — as are their fans.

"Crafted in the Big Ten, destined for the Golden State. Welcome to the Bay, Shyanne Sellers."
