The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are both a battlefield and fertile ground for love. With so many young people in their prime housed in a relatively closed space, it’s only natural that some hookups will occur, as has just happened with the Team USA stars Devin Booker and Sunisa “Suni” Lee, or so the Internet assures.

Booker is one of the pillars of the basketball team seeking its fifth consecutive gold medal. The Phoenix Suns forward has distinguished himself for his talent, charisma, and great heart. The Team USA star was named an ambassador for the Special Olympics in 2020 and has a charitable foundation named Starting Five.

Lee, meanwhile, is the rising star of American gymnastics. In her second Olympic appearance, Lee took home three medals: gold in the team competition and bronze in the individual all-around and uneven bars.

Few would have thought that the NBA star and the gymnastics phenom could be involved in a relationship, but a recent photo that Booker posted on his social media launched fans into a frenzy of speculation.

The photo that sparked the frenzy

Devin Booker and several Team USA teammates visited Bercy Arena on Thursday to support their gymnastics teammates, including Suni Lee and star Simone Biles. So far, it seems like a normal gesture between compatriots and teammates.

However, Booker later posted a photo on his Instagram Stories, where he is seen posing next to Lee with his arm around her shoulders. The player tagged the gymnast in the pic, along with a goat emoji, in apparent allusion to her status as Gymnastics’ Greatest of All Time.

Lee shared the photo moments later, and it has since been shared thousands of times across social media. Fans, fascinated by the unexpected interaction, were quick to speculate about a relationship between the two or encourage them to start one.

Fan reactions

“Devin Booker, you gotta get this one, bro,” one netizen encouraged, “Bag for me, Book,” another agreed, while one more joked, “This is how I find out she’s cheating on me, damn.” The applause for Booker continued with comments like, “Booker stays winning, bruh,” “Shooters will forever be shooters!” and “I really like Devin Booker now.”

Others recalled the relationship the Suns guard had a few years ago with model and influencer Kendall Jenner, although not in the best way. “Much better [than] Kendall,” one commenter said, surely with a low opinion of the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

Neither Devin nor Suni have given any indication of being in a relationship. However, that won’t stop netizens from making the wildest speculations, perhaps hoping that this match made in Olympus will become a reality.
