Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Dibyendu Mondal | Last updated Nov 17, 2025 12:44 PM ET

Angel Reese's season has been a standout on an uneven Chicago Sky roster. She led the league in rebounds(12.6) and averaged double figures in scoring(14.7) for the second straight year, but the team missed playoffs and finished with one of the franchise’s worst records(10-34).

But as it appears, the forward is also living her best life during the off-season, especially considering the new relationship rumors. Talk of a romance between Reese and Orlando Magic forward Wendell Carter Jr. began as a trickle and turned into a steady stream over the offseason.

Carter, wearing an Angel Reese T-shirt at the WNBA All-Star break, the two posing together courtside and multiple social-media interactions stood as early evidence.

Reese’s posts, including pictures in Orlando gear and a TikTok where she referenced “home” and gameday outfits, intensified the chatter. Social clips of Reese reposting a Carter dunk and a collage post that referenced “boo” fuelled the fires.

Well, after Carter's words on Run It Back, the rumors are all but confirmed. “That’s the homie for sure. We locked in," he said when asked about all the details. "Y’all gonna find out when y’all need to find out. That’s my girl, though.”

The Internet has been buzzing when it comes to Wendell Carter Jr. and WNBA superstar Angel Reese.

Are they a couple?

Carter’s comments stopped short of a detailed public confirmation but moved the relationship from rumor toward acknowledged status. From here, the announcers joked that Carter potentially would feel the heat after calling Reese "homie".

Reese has chosen to stay out of Unrivaled this year, so fans will have to wait some time longer to see her on the court again. But, going by Carter's words, fans won't have to wait long for the confirmation.
