Sue Bird, the legendary 4x WNBA champion, has shared an emotional personal update with fans, announcing the end of a beloved project with her longtime partner, soccer icon Megan Rapinoe. The news clarifies that their relationship remains strong, but a significant chapter of their public partnership is concluding.

In a heartfelt joint statement on Instagram, the retired sports stars announced they are stepping away from their shared podcast. "This hasn’t been an easy decision, but it’s one we’ve made together, with so much love, respect, and care for each other," they wrote, reflecting on a decade of shared life both in the spotlight and behind the scenes.

The podcast offered an intimate window into the lives of two of sports' most influential figures, blending personal stories with insights on athletics and activism. To honor the community they built with listeners, Bird and Rapinoe plan to release six farewell episodes, ensuring a thoughtful and celebratory conclusion rather than an abrupt stop.

While the microphone is being passed on this particular endeavor, Bird emphasized that their bond with fans endures. "While this chapter of doing the podcast together is ending, what we’ve built with you isn’t," she stated, reassuring supporters that this decision marks a transition, not an ending for their iconic partnership.
