When it comes to her ideal date night with fiancé Ben Felter, WNBA player Cameron Brink doesn’t need to go far to have a special evening.
“We love a fun night out, but recently, we’ve been huge homebodies,” Brink, 24, exclusively told Us while partnering with Optimum Nutrition before her fall wedding. “[We order] our favorite Dan Modern Chinese food, which is so close to us. We’ll go pick it up sometimes, and we’ve been watching the newest Love Is Blind Boston. We’ve been obsessed with that.”
After meeting at Stanford University, Brink also joked that she and her fiancé are “truly nerds.” According to the professional athlete, her ideal date night may prove it.
“We love video games. We play Fortnite a lot together, and I feel like I kind of begrudgingly learned to play with him as bonding time,” she said with a laugh. “But now, I’m obsessed with it. We’re nerds. We love reality TV. We love Chinese food and taking our dog for long walks to Rosie’s Dog Beach. I would say we’re pretty mundane.”
Their love story certainly isn’t boring. Felter, 24, and Brink were student athletes during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when they decided to take an innocent athlete marriage pact.
“Athletes would fill out a survey, just like silly questions,” Brink recalled. “Literally about, ‘What’s your favorite protein shake?’ I would say ‘Optimum Nutrition Ultra-Filtered Milk,’ of course and funny answers like where you like to study. Ultimately, Ben and I got matched through that survey, and then that’s how we started dating.”
Before celebrating with a dream wedding later this year, Brink is enjoying a bit more free time in sunny Southern California.
The Los Angeles Sparks player said she’s working out hard in the gym and gearing up for another winning season. There are a few times, however, when she can splurge on some fast food.
“I like to subscribe to clean eating, but not seven days of the week. Like, just yesterday, I got my favorite from In-N-Out Burger. I probably have In-N-Out, like, three times a month or more. I love a flying Dutchman. I’m an onion girl. My fiancé still loves me if I have onion breath. I’m a lucky girl.”
When she’s on the go, chances are she’s packing a few Optimum Nutrition products, including the new 30G ultra-filtered milk protein shake + fiber.
“It really truly is a part of my everyday routine, and I can confidently say it’s something that is in my bag every single day,” she said. “The ultra-filtered milk protein shake has been a really huge building block this off season for me.”
