Who is Diana Taurasi’s wife, Penny Taylor?
Penny Taylor is basketball royalty in her own right, having been inducted into the WNBA Hall of Fame last year.
The Australian played 19 years in the league, spending most of it with the Phoenix Mercury, where she won three championships.
She was selected 11th in the 2001 WNBA draft by the Cleveland Rockers. When that team folded in 2003, she was picked up by the Mercury and helped them win titles in 2007, 2009 and 2014.
She competed in three Olympics for the Australia Opals in 2004 Athens (Silver), 2008 Beijing (Silver), and 2016 Rio.
She and Taurasi competed against one another in the 2004 and 2008 Olympic games during their time in the league.
Taylor retired in 2016, after averaging 13.3 points in her 13-year WNBA career.

How long have Diana Taurasi and Penny Taylor been together?
Taurasi and Taylor met in 2004 as teammates on their first day with the Phoenix Mercury, according to PEOPLE.
However, they didn’t immediately start dating. They were in previous relationships during their time together with the Mercury.
Taylor was previously married to Brazilian volleyball player Rodrigo Rodrigues Gil from 2005 until 2008. But, after Taylor retired in 2016, she and Taurasi began dating.
They tied the knot in 2017 in Phoenix, Arizona, with Taurasi wearing a white suit and Taylor stunning in a strapless white gown.
‘It was the most amazing and beautiful day of our lives,’ Taurasi told PEOPLE in 2017. ‘To be able to share our love with family and close friends meant the world to us.’
