Becky Hammon is a mother of two kids but does she have a husband? And the rumors and news about her sexual orientation remain a hot topic. Throughout her career, Hammon kept her relationship away from the media. Likewise, Becky's connection with any names romantically remains debatable. Well, to put an end to this discourse, Becky likes women and is of the LGBTQ+ community. And the basketball coach and her wife, in everything but paper, live together with their adopted kids.
Becky Lynn Hammon was born and raised in Rapid City, South Dakota. And here, the talented basketball player/coach honed her skills over the early years of life. Becky became so good at basketball that she was called South Dakota Miss Basketball in her junior year. And people voted her the South Dakota Player of the Year in her senior high school days.
After years of hiding in the closet, Becky Hammon emerged as a lesbian. And currently, Hammon is in a relationship with a fellow basketball lover, Brenda Milano. Although Brenda and Becky started dating in the mid-2010s, the whens and hows remain unknown. But right now, Hammon and her girlfriend live together with two kids as their own.

Becky's relationship with Milano remained under the radar during the beginning. So, the ex-WNBA player's fans stayed oblivious about her love life.
Despiting coming out of the blue, Becky's loved ones accepted her choice. Hammon wasn't shy about the spotlight. However, the head coach of Las Vegas Aces keeps her love life away from the limelight. At the same time, she also posts pictures of her family during the holidays on her Instagram.

Similarly, much about these two kids stays hidden from the world. Besides their names, the public can find nothing more about Cayden and Samuel in the interwebs.
Romance sprinkled here, and there can bring joy to a person's life. But Becky Hammon found joy in the sports she loved. Throughout her career as a basketball player, Hammon stayed away from relationships.
Like many athletes in their early years, Becky's drive kept her from finding a meaningful connection. And so, in her days in the WNBA and as a Russian national basketball team member, Hammon appeared to be single.

But by the time she was inducted into the Ring of Honor on August 2nd, 2015, the Las Vegas Aces head coach found the love of her life, Brenda Milano.
One of the many things that Becky Hammon gained over the years is her success. Yes, she later found a family to call her own, but Hammon is also known as the first woman to coach an NBA team in history. Becky made history on July 3rd, 2015, when she became the first-ever female head coach San Antonio Spurs summer team.

After taking the Spurs to victory in the Las Vegas Summer League, Hammon became a part of the 2016 NBA All-Star Game. And here, too, she was the first woman to be a part of the All-Star coaching staff.
2020 was a horrible season for the San Antonio Spurs. And the head coach at the time, Gregg Popovich, lost his job after the Spurs lost to Los Angeles Lakers 121-107 on the board. After Popovich left the team, Becky held to team together as an acting coach. And at that moment, Hammon was the first woman to head coach the primary NBA team in history, be it as an acting one.
