Breanna Stewart\u2019s credentials speak for themselves on the court, but it takes a lot of unseen work behind the scenes to become a two-time WNBA MVP. The New York Liberty star has had a lot of big personal changes in recent years after marrying her former teammate Marta Xargay in 2021 and becoming a mother of two. As she perfects her new daily routine, Stewart is also on a mission to change the financial landscape of the WNBA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After spending nearly a decade as one of the WNBA\u2019s biggest stars<\/a>, Stewart has been working with this year\u2019s new league sponsor, Ally Financial, to ensure her fellow players are being paid what they deserve. This partnership began when Ally became a founding sponsor for Stewart\u2019s offseason league Unrivaled.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been really cool to have Ally also partner with the WNBA along with Unrivaled. It\u2019s important for me to work with them to continue to promote financial freedom,\u201d Stewart tells Elite Daily.<\/p>\n

And this partnership is more than just a standard brand deal. \u201cWe love Stewie, and she\u2019s been a huge adviser for us,\u201d Ally CMO Andrea Brimmer says. \u201cShe\u2019s spent a lot of time pushing us and talking to us about how to be better and the things we should be focused on.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Stewart continues her ninth WNBA season with an even stronger commitment to pay parity in women\u2019s athletics, she is also letting fans in on what her life looks like off the court.<\/p>\n

Elite Daily: What is your morning routine like on a game day?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breanna Stewart: <\/strong>I wake up; I go to the gym; I do yoga. Then I\u2019ll do a little activation series and get some shots up in the court. After that, I just chill until my nap time.<\/p>\n

ED: What about your mornings when you\u2019re not playing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

BS: <\/strong>It\u2019s a little bit slower on an off-season day because I\u2019m not trying to fit things in before game time. I\u2019ll probably do a harder workout instead of a shoot-around workout.<\/p>\n

ED: What\u2019s the workout you most dread?<\/strong><\/p>\n

BS: <\/strong>The assault bike, which is the stationary bike with the fan. It\u2019s really difficult doing intervals on that. It\u2019s something I can never love. I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

ED: What\u2019s in your gym bag?<\/strong><\/p>\n

BS: <\/strong>Water, my Samsung buds, a Theragun Mini, and a lacrosse ball.<\/p>\n

ED: What\u2019s on your workout playlist?<\/strong><\/p>\n

BS: <\/strong>If it\u2019s game day, it\u2019s Meek Mill. Any other time, it\u2019s more R&B vibes, like SZA<\/a>. That\u2019s when I can be a little bit more chill.<\/p>\n

ED: What skin care products do you use most often?<\/strong><\/p>\n

BS:<\/strong> I\u2019ve been using a lot of Fenty products; I love the way that they smell. My main thing is using a serum on my face and then a lotion with sunscreen during the daytime. And then having a cleanser to wash my face after a long day or after a workout.<\/p>\n

ED: Do you have any tips for getting a good night of sleep?<\/strong><\/p>\n

BS: <\/strong>I use a silk pillowcase, which I like. Blackout shades are important. And then you\u2019ve just got to keep the phone away from you.<\/p>\n

ED: What\u2019s your favorite self-care ritual?<\/strong><\/p>\n

BS:<\/strong> Getting a mani-pedi. That\u2019s a time where you can sit there and not do anything else but just enjoy it. And I love the spa. I\u2019m in New York, so I like to go to Aire<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ED: What about cold plunges?<\/strong><\/p>\n

BS: <\/strong>Yes, love them.<\/p>\n

ED: Have you picked up any self-care habits from your wife, Marta?<\/strong><\/p>\n

BS: <\/strong>Marta is the reason I have a skin care routine. Right away, she was like, \u201cYou need to do this.\u201d And I\u2019m still doing it. Even if I\u2019m so tired and just want to go to sleep, I always take care of my skin and wash my face. My skin is a little different from hers \u2014 mine is more dry \u2014 but she\u2019s helped find what works for me and helped me stick to it.<\/p>\n

ED: How has your routine changed now that your kids, Ruby [age 3] and Theo [age 1\u00bd], are running around?<\/strong><\/p>\n

BS: <\/strong>Well, they\u2019re getting put first at all times, so that\u2019s changed everything. I need to make sure that they\u2019re comfortable and at their best. When I know that they\u2019re good, then I know I can be my best on the court.<\/p>\n

ED: What are they into right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

BS: <\/strong>Ruby\u2019s obsessed with Paw Patrol. So that\u2019s constantly on. And Theo, he\u2019s obsessed with the ABC song right now. He\u2019s just starting to talk a lot more, and he loves singing it.<\/p>\n
