How The Rumors WNBA Star Kelsey Plum Was Dating Devin Booker Began

After the Las Vegas Aces were declared the winner during Game 4 of the Finals in October 2023, Kelsey Plum celebrated her big win by running into the arms of her husband, Darren Waller. He embraced his emotional wife, and the two shared a sweet kiss on the sidelines. Photographers captured the two embracing, but unfortunately, what was meant to be a touching moment turned into an internet tale, because Waller slightly resembled Devin Booker from the captured angle.

An NBA fan Twitter account called @TheNBACentel shared the photo of Waller and Plum kissing with the caption, "Kelsey Plum and Devin Booker share a beautiful moment." The tweet was sent out on October 18, 2023, and it is still up today. It has since attracted 10 million views, over 40,000 likes, and over 2,600 retweets. Since the publishing of the image, a community note has been added to the tweet to inform users of Waller's true identity. However, the account, which appears to tweet frequently, has not removed the post. Some identifying factors quickly proved it was Waller and not Booker in the images. The most telling is Waller's tattoos, which are visible in the picture. Waller has body ink on his hands and neck, and Booker does not. With both Booker and Waller being six-foot-six with a similar complexion, it may have been easy for fans to assume they were the same person.
