Penny Taylor and Diana Taurasi are not only world-class athletes but also a loving couple who have built a family they look forward to enjoying in their post-basketball lives.
On February 25, Taurasi announced in an interview with Time that she was retiring from basketball, joining her wife, who retired in 2016. The 42-year-old explained one of her reasons for stepping away, saying, “Mentally and physically, I’m just full. That’s probably the best way I can describe it. I’m full and I’m happy.”
She added, “I really enjoy taking my kids to school, being home when they’re home, not leaving for a week at a time.”

The couple first met in 2004 while both playing for the Phoenix Mercury, meaning that as of 2025, they have been together for around 21 years.
