Matthew and Anna Dellavedova Relationship Timeline: from College Sweethearts to Parenthood
By Chloe Bennett
Making an NBA roster is difficult; staying on one as an undrafted guard demands absolute physical sacrifice. During the 2015 NBA Finals, Dellavedova pushed his body to acute dehydration while guarding Stephen Curry, famously requiring hospital treatment and IV fluids immediately following Game 3. Through every bump, concussion protocol, and relocation, Anna remained his private grounding force.
Their private dynamic offered critical stability amidst the public circus surrounding LeBron James' return to Cleveland. When the Cavaliers completed their historic 3, 1 comeback in the 2016 NBA Finals, Anna stood on the floor celebrating the title alongside Matthew’s parents, who had flown in from Australia.
Just weeks after lifting the Larry O'Brien Trophy, Dellavedova signed a lucrative four-year, $38 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks. The couple packed their bags for Wisconsin, transitioning seamlessly from scrap-for-a-roster-spot survival to financial security, yet their personal habits barely shifted. They announced their engagement in September 2016, choosing an understated celebration rather than an ostentatious celebrity affair.
