“I never thought Marine would be a pro at it. I didn’t even know you could make a living playing basketball. She did it,” said Lionel, Marine Johannes’ father, when he experienced his daughter’s rise in WBB. But it was not a one-night thing, it was hard work, conflicts with the coaches, inspiration from the NBA, and love for the sport. After all, she already declared her love at 8. “I want to become a professional basketball player.” Marine had already chosen her career at a tender age.

She’d follow Tony Parker, spend hours watching the NBA, and eventually mold her game around them. But her style of play didn’t always please everyone– she was only reproducing what she saw in those clips. Marine accepted the challenge. The young hooper moved away from home, grew her game, and today is a 2x Olympic medalist with the French national team. The WNBA, too, came calling. And Johannes, she has ensured to juggle both.

But as she continues to lay focus on her career, 2025 with the New York Liberty, what has been brewing in her personal life?

What is Marin Johannes’ relationship status?

“Johannès comes in… hits us again for 8 quick ones. She does her work dirty, she’s like a little assassin, snipery (?) comes in : BANG BANG. And she’s out before you even see her lol,” Las Vegas Aces coach mentioned following a loss against the New York Liberty in a game. But does the sniper on the court have her eyes set on a partner in her life?

Well, the star seems super focused on her game for now. Because there is not much information available about her relationship status. How can one player so explosive on the court keep calm off it? Johannes, quieter and shy, has the answer.

What is Marin Johannes’ Dating History?

Just like her recent personal life details, Johannes’ history, particularly on the relationship front, is under wraps. Her shy nature and thirst to make a name in basketball could be the reason behind it.

Growing up, the guard struggled with public gatherings because of her introverted self. Her parents had to use the hit-and-trial method to finally arrive at basketball. At first, they tried football, but that didn’t make the cut, as she was the only girl on the team. And their daughter being quick-paced did not make things easy. They were still on a quest to find something equal to quench her energy. As a result, they turned to judo, but she didn’t try it at all. Her destiny was waiting right around the corner.

Having an aversion to the last sport, Marine Johannes and her parents found a basketball hall right next door, the Pont-l’Eveque club. And basketball being up tempo immediately attracted Johannes’ attention. The aim was for Marine to get a little more out there, and while we don’t know on the personal front, she has successfully embraced the game to rise to national ranks.
