Los Angeles Sparks center Cameron Brink opened up this week about the unexpected way her fiancé, Ben Felter, first made contact — a message that ultimately led to their lasting relationship.
In a light-hearted social media post shared recently, the WNBA star revealed the exact message Felter sent years ago that caught her attention at a time when direct messages on platforms like Instagram were, in her words, a “bit creepy.” Rather than sliding into her DMs, Felter opted for an old-school approach: email.
Old School Email That Worked
According to a screenshot shared by an Instagram fan account, Felter’s message read:
“Hey Cameron, wanted to chat you up but I think DMs are a bit creepy. Not that an email is much better, but here is my number.”
He included his phone number at the end of the note — and it clearly worked. The pair have been together since their college days at Stanford University, where Brink starred with the Cardinal and Felter competed on the swim team. Their connection eventually led to an engagement announcement in September 2024, when Felter surprised Brink with a proposal in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.
Brink responded to her fiancé’s unconventional introduction with fond amusement, noting that his candid note was memorable precisely because it avoided the standard social media flirtation many high-profile athletes encounter. While modern digital communication often centers around quick DMs and likes, Felter’s choice to send an email harkened back to a more deliberate and personal approach — and one that captured Brink’s heart.
A Relationship Rooted in Support
Their story has become a fan favorite for basketball and lifestyle enthusiasts alike, especially as Brink continues her journey back to full form on the court after recovering from a torn ACL sustained early in her WNBA career. Despite the physical challenges she has faced, Brink’s off-court happiness and supportive personal life have kept her grounded.
As Brink prepares for the upcoming 2026 season with the Sparks, she’ll carry not only her team ambitions into the year but also the support of Felter — whose thoughtful first message is now part of their shared history.
