Seattle Storm point guard Skylar Diggins has officially dropped her husband's name “Smith” from hers whom she married in 2017, choosing to be publicly known simply as Skylar Diggins moving forward. The WNBA player confirms the change during the team’s media day ahead of the 2025 season, putting an end to the speculations that have been swirling online in recent weeks after the fans began noticing the change in her social media handles.
Skylar Diggins clarified her name to the media
Diggins, who rose to national visibility during her college years at Notre Dame, has long been one of the most recognizable faces in women’s basketball. She tied the knot with former Fighting Irish footballer Daniel Smith in April 2017, the couple has two children together and managed to maintain a relatively private life.
Skylar Diggins recently changed her social media handles, removing “Smith” from her name, causing speculations of a drift in the relationship. When asked directly about the change, Diggins responded confidently and with a smile, while making it clear that the decision was hers and hers alone. “Yes. Thank you for the question, too, yes, it does say Skylar Diggins, and I would like to be addressed as that moving forward,” she said.
While Diggins hasn’t officially offered a detailed explanation for the change, fans were quick to notice that she had not only updated her social media handles and bio but also removed several photos with her husband, Daniel Smith. The move led to plenty of speculation, but no official word about her personal life has been shared.
Beyond the headlines about her name, Diggins looked genuinely excited about the upcoming season. The Storm have undergone some major transformations, including the trade of longtime after Jewell Loyd. In return, Seattle secured the No.2 overall pick in the 2025 draft, adding future potential to the team.
Diggins mentioned,” This is definitely the most talented roster I’ve been a part of in my 13 years, 11 on the floor,” adding, “Everybody looks really good, the vibes have been really good.”
Skylar Diggins enters the 2025 WNBA season ready to turn the page and lead by example both on and off the court.
