After several months of speculation, Paige Bueckers has finally opened up about her personal life.  

Bueckers, the No. 1 pick from the 2025 WNBA Draft, is enjoying an excellent rookie season with the Dallas Wings. She's currently averaging 18.4 points and 5.5 assists per game. 

A little over two weeks ago, Bueckers was named a starter for this year's All-Star Game. The UConn product is just the sixth No. 1 pick to receive that honor as a rookie, joining Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, Maya Moore, Sue Bird and Chamique Holdsclaw. She arrived in Indianapolis on Thursday night for the start of this weekend's All-Star festivities.  

"Feeling blessed. I'm very thankful to be here," Bueckers said at the Orange Carpet in Indianapolis. "It's just a crazy experience, just living out my childhood dream. So, happy to be here."

During this Orange Carpet event, Bueckers was asked about her rumored girlfriend, UConn guard Azzi Fudd. An interviewer said, "How well do you know your D1 girlfriend?" 

Unsurprisingly, Bueckers aced that quiz. 

Bueckers finished this interview with saying she's dating Fudd. This isn't a huge surprise considering people noticed that Fudd was recently holding a phone case that said "Paige Buckers’ girlfriend" on it.    

Just a few days ago, Bueckers revealed that Fudd handpicks her sneaker rotation for WNBA games. 

"I love a pretty shoe," Bueckers said, via ESPN. "I put a collection of Books together and actually let Azzi choose my shoe."

We'll see what sneaker Fudd picked for Bueckers' first All-Star Game appearance this Saturday. Tipoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET.
