The Wembanyamas practically have a team of basketball players — and the family roster includes Victor Wembanyama’s older sister Eve.

The daughter of Félix Wembanyama and Elodie de Fautereau, Eve was born in 2001, followed shortly by brothers Victor in 2004 and Oscar in 2007.

Victor isn’t the only basketballer in the Wembanyama family: The San Antonio Spurs star’s sister also plays the sport. “There is too little talk about my sister,” her younger brother Oscar told Euroleague Basketball in February 2023.

“I watch all of her games, and there are things that inspire me about her, especially the intensity that she puts on the floor,” he added. “She is incredible.”

As for who would win between her and Victor? “Me,” Eve said in a September 2023 FIBA 3×3 TikTok. “Yeah. I think overtime. Overtime. He will be mad.”

Here’s everything to know about Victor Wembanyama’s sister, Eve Wembanyama.

She was born in 2001

Eve was born to Félix and Elodie on Dec. 10, 2001.

She is the oldest of the couple’s children. She became a big sister on Jan. 4, 2004, with the birth of her brother, Victor. Her second brother, Oscar, arrived on March 18, 2007.

She’s shorter than her younger siblings

Although Eve is the oldest, she is the shortest of the Wembanyama siblings.

Eve stands at 6 feet, 1 inch, according to her page on the Proballers Basketball Stats website, but her NBA-playing brother is over a foot taller than her.

At 7 feet, 4 inches, per the NBA, Victor towers over his sister. Meanwhile, Oscar is 6 feet, 7 inches tall, according to his 247 Sports profile.

She’s bilingual

The Wembanyama siblings grew up in Le Chesnay, France. Eve — along with her brothers — speaks French and English.

“Knowing I would play in the NBA later, I was really interested in English,” Victor told ESPN in May 2023. “Basketball people speak English.”

She is the daughter of athletes

The Wembanyama siblings got their athleticism from their parents. Eve’s mother, Elodie, was a professional basketball player and her dad, Félix, was a competitive long jumper, Victor told Good Morning America in June 2023.

“Being a real technician of sports, of whatever I do,” he continued.

Eve followed in her mother’s footsteps. Victor’s sister competed in the FIBA U20 Women’s European Challengers in 2021 and the FIBA U16 Women’s European Championship in 2017, which France won.

She’s also played for the Monaco Basket Association and Côte d’Opale Basket Calais teams. She currently plays in the FIBA 3×3 league.

Although basketball is in her blood, Eve wasn’t influenced by her parents to play the sport. In her September 2023 FIBA 3×3 TikTok, Eve said that she chose “basketball because it was the one I was [the] best at and the one I liked the most.”

She supported her brother at the 2023 NBA Draft

Eve was by her brother’s side when he was drafted to the NBA in 2023. The siblings were filmed hugging after Victor was selected by the Spurs.

“We’re all so proud. We’re very happy for you,” Eve told Victor on his big night during an emotional group interview with ESPN.

She is a proud big sister

Discussing the “Victor phenomenon” in her FIBA 3×3 TikTok, Eve said, “It’s something big in our lives right now, but I’m so proud of him.” She also admitted that they “don’t really care” about “everything that comes with the fame.”

“I’m just proud of my brother,” Eve said, adding, “My two brothers.”
