Chicago Sky star forward Angel Reese took to social media on Thursday to share some big business news with her fans.

Back in August, the rookie revealed her partnership with Reese's, which included a few projects. Some included launching a collection of apparel and featuring Angel Reese on the front of Reese’s Puffs cereal box.

Although the partnership itself had already been announced, the former LSU Tiger shared a new update about it on Thursday.

After a long wait, "Angel X Reese's Puffs" cereal has officially hit grocery stores for fans to purchase as of Thursday.

"That’s more like it ✨Angel x REESE’S PUFFS cereal on shelves now!" the post was captioned. "#AngelxREESESPUFFS#GeneralMillsPartner."

While Reese’s has previously partnered with athletes like Michael Phelps, Simone Biles, and Alex Morgan, this marks the first time the brand has teamed up with a WNBA player.

The partnership with Angel Reese seemed almost inevitable, given the clear connection between both sides' names.

According to Melissa Blette, Reese’s senior brand manager, the company has long wanted to make a deal with Angel Reese.

“We had definitely been keeping our eyes on Angel for a while, given the obvious name connection,” Blette shared with Marketing Brew.

The former No. 7 overall pick impressed in her first WNBA season. She led the league with 13.1 rebounds per game, broke the single-season rebound record, and set the mark for most consecutive double-doubles. She was also named a WNBA All-Star.

In addition to Reese's 13.1 rebounds per game, she averaged 13.6 points and 1.9 assists.
