Who is Andrew Wiggins’ girlfriend? All about Mychal Johnson

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Andrew Wiggins had the support of his longtime partner Mychal Johnson on and off the court.

After a successful first year with the Kansas Jayhawks, the Canadian native was selected first overall in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Since then, he has been named Rookie of the Year, named to the NBA All-Star team and won a championship with the Golden State Warriors.

Like Wiggins, Johnson grew up playing basketball — even competing at the college level.

“She went to Notre Dame and played basketball so she gets the sacrifice and everything that I have to go through day in and day out,” Wiggins said E! News in July 2022. “But she was amazing at raising our children to be the perfect children they are today. She deserves a lot of respect because she makes things possible.”

So who is Andrew Wiggins’ girlfriend? Here you can find out everything about Mychal Johnson and her relationship with the basketball star.

She met Wiggins in high school

Johnson and Wiggins first met in high school in West Virginia. While Wiggins attended Huntington Prep – a well-known basketball school – Johnson played the sport at nearby St. Joseph High School.

Johnson also played basketball

Wiggins isn’t the only Hooper in the family. According to her player bio, Johnson had an impressive basketball career and excelled in high school and college. At St. Joseph High School, she led her team to three consecutive Class A state championships and twice earned honors such as West Virginia Gatorade Player of the Year.

Johnson then played three seasons of basketball at the University of Notre Dame, contributing to pivotal moments including NCAA Tournament games and helping secure Junkanoo Jam titles, although injuries limited her playing time and impact.

Along the way, they share two children with another baby

Johnson and Wiggins became parents in October 2018 with the birth of their daughter Amyah. Their second daughter, Alayah, followed in April 2021.

Johnson referred to her children as her “minis” and “besties” and marveled at how quickly they have grown up heading into the new 2024 school year.

“My girls! I love her so much🥹🥹First day of KINDERGARTEN and PRESCHOOL😭😭I knowtttttt.. where does the time go???” she wrote in an Instagram post in August.

Wiggins has also opened up about the best parts of parenting, calling being a “girl dad” the “best part.”

“There’s nothing like it,” he said E! News. “I have two little princesses that I love unconditionally. Every day is simply the best.”

“You can go to work or somewhere and not have the best day and come home and my daughters are just waiting for me,” he added. “They are always happy, always in a good mood. I always feel so much love, so they keep me going.”

Now the couple is expanding their family. Johnson first confirmed her pregnancy in October 2024 with a carousel of baby bump snaps, writing, “Hello baby🥰🫶🏽😘.”

She supports Wiggins’ career

Johnson has been a constant source of support for Wiggins. The West Virginia native can often be seen at the Chase Center in San Francisco, where the Warriors play home games.

On a few occasions, she wore T-shirts with a prominent print of Wiggins’ face or name, captioning a photo from May 2022, “One thing about us…we will always be his biggest fans.”

She enjoys traveling and making memories with her family

The former college athlete often gives her children glimpses into her and Wiggins’ lives, from moments in the stands at games to family vacations.

Whether she’s celebrating milestones, enjoying trips to Hawaii, Turks and Caicos and Fiji, or supporting Wiggins’ basketball career, connecting with her loved ones is her top priority.

“My favorite blessing in this life!” she captioned a photo from one of her outings in 2023. “I love my little family. More grateful than I could ever be💕💕💕.”

She often shares her game day routine

On TikTok, Johnson often shares “get ready with me” videos, giving her followers a glimpse of how she prepares for a night at the arena. Her videos show everything from her makeup process to the outfits she puts together.

Johnson takes her support for Wiggins to another level by adding personal touches that relate to her friend, like a diamond-encrusted necklace and hat with his number 22 for a game in November 2024.
