Cameron Brink's Boyfriend Just Had The Sweetest Reaction To Her WNBA Draft Pick
Cameron Brink’s week is off to an rockin' start. The 22-year-old was picked second overall in the WNBA draft on April 15, joining the Los Angeles Sparks for her professional debut. The accomplishment caps off an impressive final season at Stanford University, where she helped lead her team to a Sweet 16 appearance and even was selected as the Pac-12 Player of the Year, per the Los Angeles Times.
The forward had lots of supporters cheering her on at the draft, including none other than Steph Curry. But perhaps no fan was more excited than her boyfriend, Ben Felter.
Ben is always there to cheer his girl on, whether it’s from the stands or on the 'gram. Here’s everything you need to know about this sweet couple.
He's a Stanford athelete, too.
Like Cameron, Ben attended Stanford University, which appears to be where the two met. He's also an athlete, competing as a starboard on the Stanford Rowing Team for four years. The native of Palo Alto, California, majors in computer science and has been part of the Pac-12's Spring Academic Honor Roll twice, per his athlete bio. He's set to graduate this May, just like Cameron.
Ben has helped lead the rowing team to some impressive showings, with Stanford placing first in the final for No. 2 boats at the 2023 IRA Championship, according to the university. And some of his training habits have since rubbed off on Cameron. While chatting with WH at the 2024 WNBA draft, she credited her boyfriend with getting her to drink water.
“He's a rower and they burn calories, lose sweat like crazy. And I kind of saw directly how much that affected his performance," Cameron told WH, adding she now tries to drink a gallon a day. "I've just felt the differences mentally, physically, my skin, everything. So it's such an easy fix to feel better as a whole."
He enjoys spending time outdoors.
Ben enjoys time in the sun and surfing, particularly with Cameron by his side. He taught her how to surf, according to this truly adorable post.
"The best teacher 🏄🏼♀️🤍" Cameron wrote in 2023.
They also spend a lot of time at the beach together and going on hikes, according to their social media accounts.
They began dating in 2021.
Ben and Cameron have been going strong for three years now, having just celebrated their anniversary in March.
“Three years together, a day to celebrate the soul that makes me whole ❤️” he wrote beneath a carousel of photos of the two of them.
Meanwhile, on their second anniversary, Cameron shared a video compilation of their relationship. The sweet clips showed the two jumping on the trampoline, swimming, paddleboarding, working out, and just overall enjoying each other’s company.
They made their relationship ~IG official~ in July 2021.
He’s her biggest fan.
Ben is constantly showing up for Cameron. Most recently, he shared a series of photos of Cameron at the draft on his IG Story.
“Beyond proud,” he captioned one. He added a series of purple and yellow hearts to another, in honor of the LA Sparks' colors. Love these two together!
