Love found an unexpected path at Stanford, and it all started with an email. In a heartwarming twist, Cameron Brink, the WNBA star and Unrivaled Basketball player, revealed that her now-fiancé, Ben Felton, took a unique approach to capturing her attention. Instead of the typical DM slide, Felton opted for a more old-school method, sending an email.
In his email, Felton wrote, "Hey Cameron, Wanted to chat you up but I think DMs are a bit creepy. Not that an email is much better, so here's my number." A bold move, but one that certainly worked its magic.
Their relationship began in March 2021, and the rest, as they say, is history. Fast forward to September 2024, and Felton popped the question at the luxurious Shangri-La Paris Hotel in France, surprising Brink after she attended a Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week.
Brink, a college basketball legend who led Stanford to two national championship games during her four-year career, has since gone pro, playing for the LA Sparks and Unrivaled Basketball's Breeze BC. The couple plans to tie the knot at Stanford's Memorial Church, a place that holds a special significance as the birthplace of their love story.
Felton's email strategy proved to be a game-changer, especially given Brink's large following, which made standing out a challenge. But his unique approach caught her eye and led to a lasting relationship.
And this is the part most people miss: their Stanford connection is the heart of their love story. It's a beautiful reminder that sometimes, love finds a way, even when it takes an unconventional route.
