After playing college ball at Duke University, Chelsea Gray was selected by the Connecticut Sun with the 11th pick in the 2014 WNBA Draft.
The point guard missed the entire 2014 season recovering from a knee injury and made her debut the following year. In 2016, Connecticut traded Gray to the Los Angeles Sparks, where she joined forces with league stars Candace Parker, Kristi Toliver, and Nneka Ogwumike. The team won the WNBA championship that year.
In 2021, Gray left the Sparks in free agency and signed a multi-year deal with the Las Vegas Aces. The club was crowned back-to-back champions in 2022 and 2023. In 2025, Gray looked to add more hardware to her collection when the Aces made the playoffs again.
Now fans want to know more about the six-time All-Star, including who she’s married to. Here’s more about her spouse, Tipesa Gray (formerly Tipesa Mercedes Moorer).
When Chelsea and Tipesa got married
The couple met in 2014. After their initial encounter, Chelsea slid into Tipesa’s DMs. They began talking then and started seeing each other.
Four years later, they got engaged and tied the knot on Nov. 2, 2019.
Their wedding took place at the Bel Air Bay Club in Los Angeles. A few notable WNBA stars attended, including Candace Parker, Ify Ibekwe, and Jantel Lavender.
Tipesa Gray is an athlete as well
Tipesa was born on March 5, 1990, in Long Beach, California, to parents Joe and Nona Moorer.
She has two siblings, Joseph and Tiffany. Athletics run in her family, as Joseph played college basketball for the Northwestern Oklahoma State Rangers. And her uncle is former heavyweight boxing champion Michael Moorer.
