Rivers and Mabrey could be seen twinning with a black top and white pants. One of the pictures showed Rivers hugging Mabrey from behind as they smiled at the camera. They followed that with a few more pictures, including one where Rivers held the veteran by her waist.

Although neither has commented on the nature of their relationship, fans have speculated ever since Rivers supported Mabrey through her knee injury in June. The speculation gained traction when Mabrey frequently appeared on Rivers’ TikTok, while the pair was also spotted taking dance lessons together. Furthermore, an Instagram Live earlier this month captured the duo enjoying a lighthearted moment in a swimming pool.

In an interview in May, Mabrey showered Rivers with praise after the latter's first few games in the WNBA.

"Saniya’s been through a lot and hasn’t really been with us that much, so to see her come out and play 28 minutes, be super efficient and amazing on defense—it was huge," she said.
"She has so much more room to grow. She hasn’t even scratched the surface. We’re really happy to have her, and she’s only going to get better."

Mabrey was commenting about Rivers' second game in the league, which the Sun lost 76-70 to the Minnesota Lynx.
