Women’s college basketball star Shyanne Sellers is generating buzz not just because of how well she performs on the court, but also about her personal life. Recently, fans who have been following her career in basketball have been curious about her dating status.
Who Is Shyanne Sellers Dating?
Sellers is currently in a romantic relationship with another basketball player, Faith Masonius. The two became romantically linked when they were teammates at the University of Maryland, along the way becoming friends on and off the court.
Multiple sources have confirmed their romantic connection, and Masonius came out and gave an official title to being Sellers’ girlfriend.
The relationship between the couple seems to demonstrate support and love for each other. Masonius has stayed present for Sellers’ games, and supports her partner’s athletic career.
Also, their social media accounts share posts about their lives together, often showing that they enjoyed spending time together. Reports say they were roommates for three years as well, indicating their loyalty to each other.
In a notable turn of events, Sellers and Masonius have recently become engaged. On Friday, April 11, the two ladies shared images from various locations over Instagram stories and confirmed their engagement.
This occasion represents the next chapter in their love story and the start of a life together. Engagement plans have been a welcomed surprise by the basketball community, and this shows their love is supported by fans, friends, and players within the basketball community.
Exploring Shyanne Sellers’ Relationship Journey
Sellers’ journey includes coming out and revealing her identity as a member of the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month in June 2024. She tells of feeling different, and fears about coming out as an athlete in an essay she wrote on the University of Maryland website.
Her own circumstances likely provided her an avenue to become honest and transparent about her romantic relationship with Masonius, allowing the two to broadcast their love story to the world in a way that felt less vulnerable.
The couple’s social media presence, especially on TikTok, gives fans an unfiltered look at their relationship. They often post videos of their everyday lives and moments of affection.

The videos include lip-syncing, surprise visits, and silly moments like Sellers doing Masonius’ makeup. Masonius publicly called Sellers her “favorite person,” showing the affection they have for each other.
Despite public curiosity regarding her dating life, Sellers is almost exclusively focused on her career as an athlete. She has won multiple awards for her ability to impact women’s college basketball, including an invitation to the WNBA Draft in 2025.
Her relationship with Masonius emphasizes Sellers’s public persona, but certainly does not eclipse her accomplishments as an athlete. This presents an additional lens through which the public can see that a person can be personally happy while also successful athletically, but it also provides visibility to LGBTQ+ relationships within athletics.
