Ionescu married her husband, Hroniss Grasu, last March. The Liberty guard dated the NFL player for four years before they took the next step in their relationship.

However, that did not stop a fan from claiming on TikTok that she believed Ionescu had liked women for years, even before arriving in the WNBA.

"This whole Sabrina Ionescu power straight thing is absolutely going to turn into her finally coming out as a lesbian," the fan said in the video. "I have been aware of her for over a decade because I am the same age as her and we played AAU in the same circles, etc etc and from the very first moment I laid my eyes on her, I was like that's a lesbian. Also, I want her? (I didn't know I liked girls yet)."

The fan also claimed that Sabrina Ionescu's relationship with Natasha Cloud extended beyond being teammates.

"Ever since this like power straight thing has become a thing in all of the videos and clips I see of her, especially the ones with [Cloud], I'm just like, 'I know something and I think you're starting to know something about yourself.'"

The fan ended the video with an offer for the WNBA star.

"I'm very excited for what's to come in the future. And Sabrina, if you're ever questioning and you need someone to test out these theories with, I'm more than happy," she added before ending the video.

Ionescu quickly shut down the fan with a five-word comment.

"I'm sorry but no lol," she responded.

Sabrina Ionescu opens up about having Hroniss Grasu by her side last season

Last year was probably the best year in Sabrina Ionescu's life. The New York Liberty star won her first WNBA title, an Olympic gold medal, and married Hroniss Grasu.

In March, Ionescu opened up about her husband's support throughout her journey in 2024.

"When we started dating, he was in the NFL, and I was starting in the WNBA," the Liberty star told Cosmopolitan. "This was the first year he’s been with me for the whole journey. Having that steady presence through all the highs, lows, and stress made a huge difference. The Olympics was my first time on that stage, and having my husband—my rock—there meant everything. I couldn’t have had the year I did without him."

Sabrina Ionescu and Hroniss Grasu made their relationship official in August 2021. The couple got engaged in January 2023 and married last March in Laguna Beach, California. Venessa Bryant and Satou Sabally highlighted the guest list.
