Professional basketball player Cameron Brink recently offered her fans a personal glimpse into her life away from the court. The athlete marked a special occasion by celebrating her fiancé, Ben Felter's, birthday with a series of intimate photographs and a loving message shared on her social media platforms.
A Heartfelt Social Media Celebration
Brink dedicated a post to Felter, which featured several candid pictures of the couple. The images showcased genuine moments of affection, including a kiss, a warm embrace filled with laughter, and a playful shot of Felter spinning her around. The natural chemistry between the two was evident in every frame.
Accompanying the photos was a deeply personal caption. "Happy birthday to my soon to be husband," Brink wrote, adding a white heart emoji. She continued, "You are my reason & I love you more than life itself." To complete the sentimental tribute, she paired the post with Billy Joel's classic love song, "Just the Way You Are."
A Love Story Forged at Stanford University
The couple's journey began during their freshman year at Stanford University. Brink was a standout player for the women's basketball team, while Felter competed as a rower for the university's team. Their relationship blossomed over their college years, growing stronger as both pursued their athletic and academic goals.
After several years together, Felter proposed, and Brink happily accepted in September 2024. At the time of their engagement announcement, Brink expressed her unwavering commitment, stating she would have said "yes" to Felter "in every lifetime." Now 24, the WNBA star has not yet publicly revealed a specific wedding date but has humorously acknowledged on her podcast that the celebration is likely to be a costly affair.
Wedding Dreams and Future Plans
In previous interviews, Brink has shared her vision for their wedding day. She told PEOPLE magazine that she and Felter hope to tie the knot at the very place where their love story started: Stanford University. Specifically, she mentioned Memorial Church, affectionately known as MemChu, as her dream setting.
"We want to have the wedding on campus. We met at Stanford our freshman year," Brink explained. She admitted that planning is still in the early stages and that they will likely enlist the help of a professional wedding planner. Felter, a native of Palo Alto and a recognized scholar-athlete during his time at Stanford, has been fully supportive of her vision. According to Brink, his attitude towards planning is simply, "Whatever you want!"
As Brink focuses on her rehabilitation from a knee injury and prepares for her upcoming professional commitments, including her role with the Unrivaled league, she credits Felter as her rock. "We're constantly with each other and he's seriously the best and he's been honestly a huge support through my recovery," she said. The post serves as a touching reminder of the strong personal foundation that supports the athlete's public career, highlighting a relationship that has remained constant through college, professional growth, and personal challenges.
