Paige Bueckers' Boyfriend: Who Is UConn Star Dating?

UConn Huskies star Paige Bueckers has been the face of women's college basketball this season, prompting plenty of curiosity about the guard's dating life. Bueckers is not known to be dating anyone and recently reflected on the challenges of finding someone special. 

During a Feb. 25, interview with GQ's Leah Faye Cooper, Bueckers was asked about her dating life. The future WNBA star admitted that dating has been hard and is simply "focused on basketball."

Bueckers described the dating scene as a "crazy world" while she remains focused on attempting to lead UConn to a national championship. 

“'Me and that freshman class (spending time together during COVID), I feel like they’re going to be my bridesmaids,' (Bueckers) told GQ.

"Not that she’s planning a wedding anytime soon," Cooper wrote. "'I’m more just focused on basketball,' she says of her relationship status. Plus, she adds of dating, 'It’s a crazy world out here.'"

This focus has paid dividends as Bueckers is widely projected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft. On3 projects Bueckers' NIL value to be $1.5 million.

Bueckers has yet to win a national championship, something she can change with a win over the South Carolina Gamecocks. The UConn star has been crystal clear about her championship aspirations. 

"Anything less than a national championship is really a disappointment...the pressure is a privilege," Bueckers explained on Thursday, per UConn on SNY.
