Talking about her fiance and sexuality, Elena told Vogue magazine:

It was just one of those articles where they came into my home, spent a couple days with me, and [fiancee] Amanda [Clifton] is a huge part of my life. So to leave her out wouldn’t have made any sense. It’s not a coming out article or anything. I’ve been with her for a very long time now, and people who are close to me know that, and that’s that

Elena also spoke about her relationship:

As the future keeps moving on, I don’t plan on having our relationship out in the public and all this media on it,” she said, “but obviously there’s excitement right now because people see it for the first time

Of course, the boy is not Elena’s boyfriend. She just loves the little boy.

Delle Donne recently signed a trade deal which sent her from the Sky to the Mystics on 2nd February 2017. The deal brought Delle Donne closer to her home state of Delaware. Donne, the centerpiece of the trade deal between the Chicago Sky and Washington Mystics, says the decision was personal rather than the business one:

Ever since I realized this deal was going to happen, I think I’ve had a smile on my face ever since. I really think that Washington just meets all of my personal and professional wishes

The trade provided Delle Donne with a piece of mind. She found trade valuable as she got a chance to get closer to her sister Lizzie, who has cerebral palsy and is blind.
