Chicago Sky star Angel Reese fueled new dating rumors as she was recently spotted with an Orlando Magic player during her private pre-birthday party.

As spotted by fans , Angel Reese was with Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. during her private, Barbie-themed pre-birthday party.

Prior to this, Reese was never linked to Carter. However, she was seen several times watching Orlando Magic games with courtside seats. She was present during the Magic’s Game 1 and 3 playoff match against the Boston Celtics.

Angel Reese has been linked to several NBA players in dating rumors, though she has often dismissed speculation about her personal life.

One of the most talked-about rumors involved Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren, with reports suggesting the two spent time together over the summer. The speculation grew after both Reese and Duren posted photos from similar locations on social media, leading fans to believe they were vacationing together.

Angel Reese previously dated Florida State basketball player Cam’Ron Fletcher, but the two broke up shortly before she began her WNBA career. Despite the rumors, Reese has maintained that she prefers to keep her relationships private and focus on her basketball career.

Another high-profile rumor linked Reese to Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant, after she was spotted sitting courtside next to him at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Reese later addressed the speculation on her podcast, stating that she was simply attending the game and that Durant had been her favorite player since childhood.
