Meet the real-life partners of the WNBA’s biggest stars, including famous athletes

Angel Reese, 24, is the star of the Atlanta Dream. And by her side is the man of her dreams. Angel is dating fellow professional basketball player Wendell Carter Jr., 27. The couple went public with their relationship in late 2025 when she attended an Orlando Magic game in a jersey saying “My Man.” More recently, Angel supported him during the NBA playoffs.

Ahead of the WNBA’s season opener, Wendell gave Angel a romantic dinner with roses, balloons, a private serenade by a piano player, and even gifted her a diamond watch.

Paige Bueckers, 24, and Azzi Fudd, 23, are both in love and on the same team. The couple played together at the University of Connecticut for four seasons before Paige was drafted No. 1 overall by the Dallas Wings in the WNBA in 2025. Azzi joined the team in April, making them the third couple in the league.

After meeting as junior basketball players, Azzi and Paige became fast friends. In July 2025, the couple went public with their relationship after Paige was asked about her “D1 girlfriend” during an interview with WAG Talk.

The four-time WNBA MVP, A’ja Wilson, 29, is dating NBA star Bam Adebayo, 28, who plays for the Miami Heat. The couple first sparked dating rumors just ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics and confirmed their relationship in February 2025.

A’ja, who plays for the Las Vegas Aces, had been friends with Bam for years before their romance began. At the NBA All-Star Weekend in 2025, A’ja told the crowd that her “NBA All-Star” wasn’t there, as Bam hadn’t made the team.

The couple supports each other’s careers, with A’ja sharing social media posts about Bam’s games and Bam attending a ceremony honoring A’ja as she received a key to the city of Miami.

Caitlin Clark, the megastar who plays for the Indiana Fever, started dating her boyfriend, Connor McCaffrey, in April 2023. The two met while at the University of Iowa, where they both played basketball, and now live in Indianapolis, where Connor is an assistant coach of the Butler Bulldogs men’s basketball team.

Connor is Caitlin’s biggest fan. In 2024, when Caitlin became the all-time leading scorer in NCAA women’s basketball, he posted a photo of her to his Instagram Story and wrote: “So proud.”

New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu, 28, is married to NFL player Hroniss Grasu, 34. The two, who both attended the University of Oregon at different times, met through mutual friends. After they went public with their relationship in August 2021, Hroniss proposed to the WNBA player.

In March 2024, Sabrina and Hroniss tied the knot in a small ceremony in Laguna Beach, California. “Being able to put the world on pause for two weeks and celebrate something that is just so special, it was definitely very memorable and we’re still coming down from it,” Sabrina told People at the time.
