Amidst all that, the basketball sensation does take out time to tweet about her fiance. Looking at their sweet and quiet relationship, the couple could get married soon.

Age, Parents, Height

Natalie Dame was always an admirer when it came to basketball. She looked upto her elder brother, Adrian and idolized him. 

She initially struggled in the sport due to her comparatively shorter height than others in the age group. But, when she reached the sixth grade, her height drastically increased, and she gained decent weight as well.

While many are naturally good at the sport, Natalie always struggled in training. Despite having a shaky start, her parents Manny and Marion supported her till the end.

Much to their surprise, her hard work landed her in the Norte Dame college team, and the 26-year-old has never looked back. Now, she is one of the highest-earning players in WNBA and regarded as a changemaker in women basketball.
