Does Victor Wembanyama Have a Girlfriend? What to Know About the Spurs Star

It took only three seasons for Victor Wembanyama to do exactly what the San Antonio Spurs drafted him for - bring them back to the NBA Finals.

The once proud franchise had fallen on hard times in 2023, going 22-60 and landing the top pick in that year's draft, where they took the 7'4" phenom out of France.

It paid off instantly with Wembanyama earning unanimous Rookie of the Year honors in his first season as the team began its turnaround. His combination of height, length and skill makes him a talent unlike any the league has seen before, and it goes beyond his already-impressive raw numbers.

But despite a catalog of jaw-dropping plays that should be physically impossible, mystery and intrigue follow Wembanyama off the court. Keep scrolling to get to know the Spurs star who might be on a G.O.A.T. trajectory.

Does Victor Wembanyama Have a Girlfriend?

Victor is one of those players who seems to do something no one in the NBA has done before at least once a week - and that has continued onto the sport's biggest stage.

In Game 1 of the 2026 Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he posted 41 points, 24 rebounds and three blocks, playing 49 minutes in the Spurs' double overtime win. Wilt Chamberlain is the only other NBA player to post a stat line that good in the playoffs.

And at that point, Victor was still college-aged and had not completed his third NBA season. It seems the best is yet to come.

Victor Wembanyama Is Not Afraid to Speak Out

Victor has only been in the United States for a few years, but he has shown a willingness to speak out against perceived injustice. In January 2026, he ignored Spurs PR's wishes and shared his thoughts on ICE's presence in Minnesota.

"PR has tried, but I'm not going to sit here and give some politically correct … every day I wake up and see the news, and I'm horrified," he told reporters after a practice.

He continued, "It's crazy that some people might make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable. I read the news and sometimes I'm asking very deep questions about my own life. But you know, I'm conscious also that saying everything that's on my mind would have a cost that's too great for me right now. So I'd rather not get into too many details."
