Milaysia Fulwiley won the national championship with South Carolina in 2024 as a freshman. She was named to the Southeastern Conference (SEC) All-Freshman Team. She helped her team win the SEC tournament, where she was named MVP after scoring a season-high 24 points.
Fulwiley was a McDonald’s All-American and was ranked as the No. 13 player nationally in the 2023 recruiting class by ESPN. She is one half of a power couple in South Carolina. Let’s meet her other half.
Who Is Milaysia Fulwiley’s Girlfriend?
Fulwiley is dating JaMeesia Ford. She’s a fellow athlete at South Carolina, but she completes on the track while Fulwiley operates on the court. Ford is the NCAA 200-meter indoor champion and holds the world under-20 record holder over 300 meters.
Ford is also a sophomore at South Carolina, and the two went official with their relationship in 2024. They officially met at a joint women’s basketball and track and field hangout during the 2023 fall semester.
The pair won co-Female Freshman of the Year at South Carolina’s 2024 Gamecock Gala, an annual event honoring the school’s top student-athletes.
“I’ve never really seen a couple that thrives like us,” Fulwiley said. “That’s what really made us want to go public.”
“I didn’t really start watching basketball till I met her, so it was very new for me,” Ford said of their relationship. “And the championship game, it was, I don’t know how to explain it. I’m speechless still.”
