As Angel Reese’s star rises in the WNBA, so does public interest in her personal life. Among many things, fans are curious to know who she is dating.

After her relationship with Cam’Ron Fletcher ended in college, Reese made it clear that she was not interested in dating. But the curiosity around her life has sparked a wave of speculation involving Wendell Carter Jr.

The Orlando Magic center was spotted courtside at the Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever matchup, sitting alongside his teammate Jalen Suggs. While Suggs’ presence was expected as he’s dating Sky guard Hailey Van Lith, fans quickly started speculating about Carter Jr.’s presence and its meaning. It wasn’t the first time Carter Jr. had been seen around Reese.

Last month, he was at Reese’s birthday party, not just as another guest. Carter Jr. was standing right behind her at one point, filming her on his phone as she danced and celebrated with friends. That moment had fueled the speculations on social media.


Also, Reese was seen at several Orlando Magic games this past season. So understandably, the fans are trying to connect the dots. One of them posted a screenshot of Reese’s Instagram story on the Magic subreddit and asked, “Why Angel Reese keeps coming to the stadium for Magic games?”

Several comments on this post outlined that she was dating the Magic star. Fortunately, the fans appreciated her presence at the arena because they “like[d] the Wendell” seen on the floor that night. It’s possible that the speculations have some truth in them.

However, Reese has been on record multiple times over the past year stating she was single. Before she made her WNBA debut, Reese recorded a video inside her car, addressing the questions about her personal life.

“Yeah, I’m single. I don’t got no man. Don’t attach me to no man, that’s all I’m gonna say,” Reese had said.

But this was over a year back, and it’s possible that the status might’ve changed. Then again, a few months ago, she told Mariah the Scientist and Latto on her Unapologetically Angel podcast that she was single. In fact, the two artists even asked her what she prefers in a man in hopes of setting her up with someone.

But here’s the thing: Nothing has been confirmed. Reese hasn’t publicly acknowledged being in a relationship, nor has Carter Jr. So, for now, talk of the two dating remains pure speculation.
