From sharing the court to sharing a life, WNBA star Breanna Stewart and her partner, former WNBA player Marta Xargay Casademont, have been happily married for almost four years.
The New York Liberty’s star Breanna Stewart first met her partner at Dynamo Kursk, a Russian professional women’s basketball club where both she and Marta played from 2018 to 2019.
According to reports, Breanna’s injury in 2019 led to the beginning of their romantic relationship. In a short YouTube movie from TOGETHXR x Bleacher Report, Marta revealed that their relationship started the night Breanna got injured.
Breanna also said,
“I just remember like being in such a place where it was like, you know, something terrible happened, and then at the same time something amazing happened,Me being injured was like a blessing in disguise,Those moments and memories were huge for kind of what helped blossom our relationship into what it is.”
Moreover, their connection flourished, and the couple decided to get engaged in May 2021 while Breanna Stewart was playing for the WNBA’s Seattle Storm and Russian team UMMC Ekaterinburg.
Breanna took to her Instagram to announce their engagement, sharing a picture of her proposing to her partner Marta Xargay Casademont in Papago Park, Phoenix, Arizona, with the caption, “Did a thing. Another ring. She said YES. 💍🥰 #wifey.“
It didn’t take the couple long to realize that they were meant for each other. Breanna and Marta married in an intimate ceremony on July 6, 2021.
The couple has been each other’s constant source of support and often share glimpses of their happy and adventurous life on social media.
Marta shared a picture of her and Breanna from the opening night of Unrivaled, showing support for her partner on her new journey.
Unrivaled is a 3-on-3 women’s basketball league founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier.
It debuted on January 17, 2025, and Breanna scored the first basket in league history.
Breanna Stewart And Marta Xargay Casademont Are Proud Parents Of Two Children!
The WNBA star Breanna Stewart and her partner Marta are blessed with two children: a daughter named Ruby and a son, Theo Josep Stewart Xargay.
The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Ruby, via surrogate on August 9, 2021, after Breanna froze her eggs in 2019 while she was injured and not playing.
Ruby’s birth was a precious moment for Breanna, as she was born the day after she won her second Olympic gold medal in Tokyo.
In October 2022, Breanna celebrated her fourth consecutive World Cup victory—just a year after welcoming her daughter—with her daughter Ruby and Marta by her side.
Marta proudly shared the pictures of Breanna’s achievement on her Instagram with the caption, “Congrats amor, no one deserves this more than you ♥️We are so proud of you 😍.“

Marta played for the Phoenix Mercy of the WNBA and several European teams in the Czech Republic, Russia, and Spain.
