BREAKING NEWS: Cameron Boozer surprised fans by announcing that he and his girlfriend Yva Lauren will hold their wedding ceremony in June next year. Cameron Boozer also revealed the venue and wedding details, leaving fans extremely excited…
In a heartfelt Instagram post that sent shockwaves through the college basketball community and beyond, Duke Blue Devils freshman star Cameron Boozer dropped a major life update: he and longtime girlfriend Yva Lauren Cao are engaged and planning their wedding for June 2027. The announcement, shared late on January 15, 2026, featured a stunning carousel of photos—including a romantic proposal snapshot on a sunset beach, candid couple moments from Duke games and Miami cheer events, and a dreamy shot of Yva’s sparkling engagement ring—captioned simply: “Forever starts next summer. June 2027, can’t wait to make you my wife, Yva. ❤️”
The news has fans buzzing with excitement, as the power couple—both just 18 and navigating high-profile freshman years—take what many see as a bold, romantic step forward. Boozer, the No. 1-ranked prospect in the 2025 class and current standout for the No. 6 Blue Devils (averaging 22+ points and double-doubles weekly), has been dating Yva since high school at Christopher Columbus in Miami. Their relationship blossomed publicly through prom pics, Valentine’s Day posts, family vacations in the Bahamas, and her unwavering support at his games—from Columbus High to now Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Yva Lauren Cao, a talented cheerleader for the Miami Hurricanes, brings her own spotlight. A former captain at Our Lady of Lourdes Academy, she earned Miami Herald First Team All-Dade honors and competed at national levels, including UCA championships. Now thriving at the University of Miami, she’s a fixture in the stands cheering for Cam, often holding signs like “CAM’S BIGGEST FAN” and sharing sweet tributes on social media. The couple’s wholesome dynamic—balancing elite athletics, academics, and young love—has endeared them to millions.
The wedding details Boozer revealed only amplified the hype. Set for mid-June 2027—right after what could be a deep NCAA Tournament run for Duke and potentially Boozer’s final college season—the ceremony will take place at The Breakers Palm Beach, one of Florida’s most iconic and luxurious wedding venues. This historic Gilded Age resort on the Atlantic Ocean in Palm Beach has long been a favorite for high-profile celebrations, blending old-world elegance with modern opulence.
Why The Breakers? Boozer called it “the perfect spot—ocean views, timeless beauty, and a place that feels like home for both of us in Florida.” The venue boasts grand ballrooms with crystal chandeliers, manicured lawns overlooking the sea, private beach access, and legendary service that has hosted countless celebrity and elite weddings. Couples rave about its versatility: intimate ceremonies on the oceanfront terrace, lavish receptions in the Venetian Ballroom, and weekend-long festivities with top-tier dining, spa access, and guest accommodations in lavish rooms.
Estimated costs for a full wedding weekend here can soar into six figures, but for a rising NBA prospect like Boozer (projected top-3 pick in 2027), it’s a fitting backdrop for what promises to be a star-studded affair.
The couple plans an elegant yet personal celebration. “We want it to feel like us—classy, fun, surrounded by family and the people who’ve supported us since day one,” Boozer shared in a follow-up story. Expect Florida flair: tropical floral accents, ocean-inspired decor, and perhaps nods to their sports worlds—maybe cheer routines or a basketball-themed groom’s cake. Yva, known for her style, hinted at a custom gown and bridesmaids in soft pastels.
The guest list? Likely to include Boozer’s famous father Carlos (former NBA All-Star and Duke legend), mom CeCe, twin brother Cayden (also at Duke), younger brother Carmani, Duke teammates like Isaiah Evans, and Miami cheer squad friends. Family ties run deep—the Boozers have vacationed together, and Yva’s already close with the clan.
Reactions poured in immediately. Duke coach Jon Scheyer posted: “Congrats to Cam and Yva—two incredible young people building something special. Excited for what’s next! 💍” Carlos Boozer added heart emojis and a proud “My boy growing up too fast.” Fans flooded comments: “June 2027 can’t come soon enough!” “The Breakers is PERFECT—pure luxury!” “From high school sweethearts to forever—goals!” Even rival fans chimed in with respect for the wholesome vibe amid the NIL era’s chaos.
For Boozer, the timing is poetic. Fresh off a dominant freshman campaign—highlighted by clutch performances despite recent injury scares—he’s channeling energy into both hoops and his future. The wedding gives him and Yva something joyful to look forward to amid the grind of ACC play, March Madness dreams, and NBA scouts circling.
As the countdown to June 2027 begins, one thing’s clear: Cameron Boozer and Yva Lauren Cao aren’t just a college couple—they’re writing a love story that’s captivating the sports world. From Miami cheer mats to Duke hardwood to a seaside Palm Beach altar, their journey is only getting more magical. Fans are already marking calendars for what could be one of the most talked-about weddings of the decade.
