Cameron Brink Teases Boyfriend’s Big Life Update With a Heartfelt Message on Social Media

You know, in the U.S., just about  1.1% of men are 6′4″ or taller. So, when you’re 6-foot-4 and still get to say, “he’s taller than me,” it’s a big flex. While she is much more than that, the first thing that makes Cameron Brink stand out is her frame. That height makes her an elite in the paint and a showstopper on the runway. But there’s someone shockingly even taller than her, and no, he’s not in the league. In fact, he’s not even a basketball player.

Well, that’s her longtime boyfriend and now fiancé, Ben Felter, who clocks in at a cool 6-foot-7. The two have been going strong for over three years now, after first meeting as student-athletes at Stanford. The college sweethearts give full rom-com energy. After wrapping up her college career in 2024, Brink was drafted No. 2 overall by the Los Angeles Sparks, while Felter has been stacking achievements of his own.

Originally from Palo Alto, Felter committed to Stanford in 2019 to join their rowing team. By junior year, he was rowing starboard in the No. 5 seat on Stanford’s second Varsity Eight at the IRA Championships. On top of that, he was a two-time IRCA scholar-athlete and always on the honor roll. In short, both brains and brawn. But that’s not all.

In addition to absolutely killing it in sports, Felter was deep into the tech world during college. He majored in computer science, and, per his LinkedIn, he’s already had some awesome gigs. He interned as a software engineer at Kaladin, a crypto startup, and then started working part-time with the U.S. Department of Defense at the Defense Innovation Unit as a portfolio analyst. He also worked as an AI research engineer at Lockheed Martin. Well, now he just added another major flex to the list, and of course, Cameron was so here for it.

Felter just earned his Master’s degree in Computer Science from Stanford, and his baller girl made sure everyone knew just how proud she was.  Brink took to her Instagram story to hype up her man, writing, “My handsome man got his Master’s. So incredibly proud I love you.” In another adorable story, she added, “I love an educated man :)” Hands down, the cutest couple on the internet right now.

This comes after Felter had already wrapped up his Bachelor’s in 2024, but this new milestone definitely deserved a moment. Still, no degree or fancy job beats what they both agree is their greatest college treasure – each other. Even though they mostly keep their relationship low-key, Brink always makes sure to drop sweet posts for birthdays and anniversaries. 

The biggest update was when Felter proposed last September in Paris. Brink has been proudly showing off her giant rock ever since. And as for the big day, she’s in no rush, but word is they’re planning to tie the knot on Stanford’s campus in 2026. Full circle moment, right? Stanford clearly means the world to both of them, not just for the academics and sports, but for the bond it helped create. 

While Cam continues winning off court as she is recovering from injury and preparing for her return to the court, things haven’t been the smoothest for the Sparks. The team has been struggling, but she’s been leaning on some serious vet advice. 

How Cameron Brink & Co. can fix their third-quarter curse, per Sue Bird

In the latest episode of Straight to Cam, Cameron Brink and Dearica Hamby had a special guest in the house – none other than WNBA legend Sue Bird. The trio touched on a lot of fun topics, from Bird’s iconic career to her hilarious social media parodies. But things got especially real around the 34-minute mark when Hamby brought up something that’s been haunting the Sparks all season: their post-halftime slumps.

With the Sparks sitting at 4–9, it’s no secret that the third quarter has been a consistent downfall. There have even been games where they’ve barely cracked double digits in the third, managing just seven or nine points. Hamby got straight to the point, asking Bird how to spark more urgency coming out of the break.

Sue had some very real and practical advice. She shared a tactic from her own playing days when her team decided they’d hit the court five minutes early before the second half- even if it meant cutting short snack runs or last-minute bathroom breaks. They’d do layup lines, get moving, and reset their rhythm before the buzzer even sounded.

Bird emphasized how much of the third-quarter battle is mental. Her suggestion? Try new things – switch up the energy. Even something like starting the half with an intense two-minute defensive blitz could shift the tone. “Maybe it’s for the first two minutes, go crazy on defense. Get exhausted.” Hamby even admitted she’s been toying with the idea of having LA trap everything for the first few minutes of the third quarter – just to set a tone. She joked, “Not to tell our secrets, but like, to just set the tone of aggressiveness.”

Also, to keep things fun and competitive, Bird threw in a spicy suggestion: have the coaches set up side bets. First three stops, first three buckets – winner takes the pot. Turns out Hamby’s team has already tried this. When they faced the Chicago Sky, there was a mini wager: the first person to give up an offensive board had to tell the coach they talked too much. Hamby lost that one and had to follow through. 

While we’ll have to see if they apply any of this, deep down, we know that the biggest boost the Sparks are hoping for is the return of Cameron Brink. Though there is no solid update, she’s expected to be back sometime in June-July.  Can LA finally solve its third-quarter curse? Let us know.
