What fueled the chatter even more was GloRilla’s response, a simple but telling “😍😍😍” under the post. That single reply set social media on fire, as many wondered if the two might be more than just friends.
Of course, speculations themselves die without anything to go by, but as the fans have been spying, observing, and dropping little tidbits of tea that feeds the imagination of the others tuned in. Neither has confirmed if there’s something going on between them, and truth be told, Brandon Ingram isn’t the type to consistently share his personal life like that. But fans are jumping on this ship.
Funnily enough, fans has been calling this Brandon Ingram’s off-court highlight. There’s still a lot of signs that needs to be seen in order for the hawk-eyed fans to conclusively draw an opinion. But still, the cozy tone of his post and her public reply made it hard for people to ignore.
Although if Brandon Ingram intended to keep this discreet, the moves have really pinned a lot of eyes on him. One thing’s sure, fans are already invested in this and have already placed their bets. Only time will tell if his off-court performance ends with a slam dunk.

Fans on social media were quick to react. Some celebrated the pairing, saying they looked happy together, while others doubted the seriousness of it, arguing that stars often keep their private lives low-key. Either way, the Cabo trip has made people talk.
Hopefully this isn’t pulling him back from his main source of influence, inside the boundary of the court, as he is certainly getting a lot more attention outside his game than within it. Unlike GloRilla who is more than just used to this spotlight as she basks in it.

As of now, neither has confirmed anything beyond the public birthday wishes and appearances. Still, the images and online chatter suggest that Brandon Ingram and GloRilla may have formed a bond that fans will be watching closely in the months ahead.
We’ve all seen this before and know full well where it’s headed. It’s only a matter of whether the people are right, or if they’re right.
