Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe have split after nearly a decade of relationship, announcing their separation on Instagram and their podcast, A Touch More. The announcement came after they confirmed they were winding down the podcast they built around their lives together and launched a production company under the same name in 2022. The pair also revealed they are ending their relationship and launching a new podcast, Bird's Eye View. The breakup was not just a breakup but a process of dismantling a shared future that had already become content. The public version of their relationship grew as their playing careers ended and became more visible after they retired from the WNBA in 2022 and 2025 respectively. Bird is now the managing director of the US.
