2026-07-18 · Cooper Flagg · Player Focus

Cooper Flagg, the Dallas Mavericks' 2025 NBA Draft No. 1 pick and reigning Rookie of the Year, has confirmed his relationship with Aria Roberson, a 6-foot-4 center for Duke University’s women’s basketball team. The couple’s romance became public in April 2026 after Roberson attended Flagg’s Rookie of the Year press conference, sparking fan speculation that was later confirmed by matching social media posts from Turks and Caicos in May 2026.

Who is Aria Roberson?

Aria Roberson, a rising star in women’s college basketball, joined Duke University in 2024 but redshirted her freshman season due to a knee injury. In her first active season (2025-26), she averaged 8.0 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, helping Duke reach the Elite Eight in the 2026 NCAA Tournament. She is the younger sister of former NBA player Andre Roberson, who earned All-Defensive Second Team honors with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

How Did Their Relationship Become Public?

The couple’s relationship first drew attention in April 2026 when Roberson was spotted at Flagg’s Rookie of the Year press conference, seated beside his parents. Speculation intensified in May 2026 when both posted Instagram photos from Noah’s Ark Beach Club in Turks and Caicos. A Mavs fan account shared screenshots of them on oceanfront swings, further fueling rumors. Official confirmation came on May 15, 2026, when Roberson posted a TikTok video featuring Flagg.

What’s Next for Cooper Flagg and Aria Roberson?

As Flagg continues to solidify his role as the Mavericks’ franchise cornerstone, Roberson is poised to build on her breakout season at Duke. With both athletes at the forefront of their respective careers, their relationship will likely remain a topic of interest among NBA and college basketball fans. Flagg, who averaged 21.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in his rookie season, is expected to lead Dallas into the 2026-27 campaign, while Roberson aims to help Duke make another deep NCAA Tournament run.
