In Game 1 of the WNBA Finals against the New York Liberty on October 11, she completed a four-point play at the last moments to send the game into overtime. Minnesota eventually 95-93. Her sure-footedness at crunch time is one of the main reasons the Lynx kept themselves as contenders in the Finals.
Williams’ on-court heroics are well known, documented and celebrated. The guard has been guarded about her personal life and always kept things under the lid.
As per her Instagram account, she is currently dating N’Shya, a real estate agent from the Carolinas. Also, the WNBA’s “Pride is Love” series had given fans a glimpse of Williams’ romantic with a cinematic tinge. In the segment, N’Shya and Williams were seen in each other’s arms, sharing heartwarming and intimate moments.
Mutual admiration is the hallmark of the relationship. N’Shya credits her partner for giving her all in the relationship despite the demanding basketball commitments. Williams appreciates N’Shya’s understanding nature and support amidst a grueling schedule. Here is a brief look at their relationship timeline.
They show a lot of love to each other on Instagram
Williams and N’Shya have possibly been dating each other for two years. Williams’ birthday falls on May 11. This year, N’Syha uploaded a heart-warming reel on Instagram, wishing her a happy birthday. The initial parts of the post alluded to how they have been seeing each other for two years. N’Shya wrote,
“Happy 30th birthday to my person!! My best friend, my lover, my protector and diary ❤️ the last two years with you have been amazing and I’m so honored to experience you. 30 is CRAZY and so fittin.. I’ve seen you grow so much in the last two years you 30 fasho!! ”

On July 29, it was Williams’ turn. She wished her partner a happy birthday on Instagram, uploading images and short clips of their intimate moments.
In the last slide of the post, she gave her the ultimate birthday wish — a group of dancers grooved on Sexxy Red’s “It’s My Birthday” track. While conveying her affection to N’Shya, Courtney referred to her as ‘Shy’, which seems to reflect her nature perfectly.
N’Shya stays away from the limelight
N’Shya shies away from the spotlight. She doesn’t post much about the games or the life she shares with the Lynx star. However, she has been a regular at the games, cheering from the stands when Williams takes the WNBA hardwood. Needless to say, she was rooting for her girlfriend during the WNBA Finals.
She must have been over the moon watching her partner nail multiple key shots to help the Lynx’s championship cause. Williams seems to draw energy from N’Shya’s support, making the partnership a happy fulfilling one for both.
