Cecilia Zandalasini, the Italian sharpshooter luminous for the Golden State Valkyries, has turned things around with her smooth three-pointers and a sharp defense. While she hasn’t seen many minutes on the WNBA court, her resume is still stacked– 2 finals appearances and a championship with the Lynx, and then some overseas. 

Originating from Broni, Italy, Zandalasini has built out outstanding career– from ruling the youth leagues with Geas Basket to gaining MVP honors at the 2016 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship. She would also add 33 points during the EuroBasket in 2023. But while the young guard continues to impress on the hardwood, what is her off-court story looking like? 

What Is Cecilia Zandalasini’s Current Relationship Status?

Well, when it comes to Cecilia Zandalasini’s romantic journey, she is keeping things non-public. Her Instagram @ceciznd is everything basketball, art, and travel. From her 41.3% three-point shooting to her Virtus Bologna looks, that’s largely what the Italian sharpshooter presents to her fans. 

But her supposed partner doesn’t seem to be hiding it all. 

Who Is Cecilia Zandalasini’s Girlfriend, Sara Barbieri?

As aforementioned, Cecilia Zandalsini hasn’t taken things public. She’s stayed away from posts, interviews, and podcasts. But Sara Barbieri, who first made an appearance on Zandalasini’s social media back in May 2024, seems to have made their status clear now with the many posts.

The rumored couple even took a trip to the Bahamas last year, going by Barbieri’s updates. But the Lynx star isn’t really keeping it loud. The most we saw was an adorable snap with a caption that loosely translated to “We drift apart and then find ourselves closer than before.” 

Because of Cecelia Zandalsini’s reserved nature Sara Barbieri remains a mystery in the player’s life. The last time she (Sara) posted about them in April 2025, the couple were in Barbieri’s birth place. Or so the caption suggested: “In the part of the world I was born in” — it carried a little hint of Italy. 

What Does Sara Barbieri Do for a Living?

Well, there’s no proven connection between them, hence figuring out about her career is like going after a ball with no direction.

Cecilia Zandalasini’s journey from Broni’s courts to WNBA stardom with the Golden State Valkyries is a story of talent and heart, but her personal life remains a well-kept secret. With no confirmation on that, Cecilia lets her smooth shooting and fierce hustle take center stage.
