Wirth is her fiancé's number one fan. When the Washington Wizards drafted Kispert in the 2021 NBA Draft, Wirth was right there by his side to celebrate his big moment. Afterwards, she penned a touching message for her then-boyfriend.

"The love and basketball saga continues...It has been a blessing to watch you dream this dream and put in the work to achieve it. I can't help but believe that our late night h.o.r.s.e. games helped get you here but I guess we'll never know ;) Congratulations, love! The Wizards got a good one. I can't wait to see what you do next."

Wirth, who graduated from the university in 2021, ranked third in her conference in rebounding with an average of 8.1 rebounds per game and finished her final season shooting 53.8 percent from the floor, according to the school. When she's not on the court, the Arizona-born identical twin enjoys creating content for social media with her sister Lee.
