Could there be a new power couple in the basketball world? Dating rumors surrounding Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese and Orlando Magic’s Wendell Carter Jr. have been swirling for months, and now, the players themselves are adding fuel to the fire with some intriguing comments.
‘Locked In’ and Keeping Us Guessing
During a recent appearance on the “Run It Back” podcast on November 17th, the 26-year-old Orlando Magic center spoke about his relationship with the 23-year-old Chicago Sky player. Carter Jr. stated that they are definitely “locked in,” calling Reese “my girl.” While he kept the specifics private, his words certainly suggest a close connection.
He added, “Y’all gonna find out when y’all need to find out. We’ll just leave it at that.” This playful response has only intensified the speculation among fans and sports enthusiasts alike.
A Trail of Hints and Support
The dating rumors first gained traction after Reese was spotted celebrating her 23rd birthday with Carter Jr. in May. The support didn’t stop there; in July, Carter Jr. was seen cheering Reese on at the WNBA All-Star Game, even sporting a shirt featuring her face. Talk about a dedicated fan!
Reese, who is originally from Maryland, has also been spending considerable time in Florida during the WNBA offseason, despite her team being based in Chicago. Adding to the buzz, she recently shared photos of herself sporting Orlando Magic gear, further blurring the lines between their professional and personal lives.
Subliminal Social Media Posts
While Reese hasn’t directly confirmed or denied the rumors, her social media activity has been quite telling. On November 18th, she posted a picture of herself in a stylish furry outfit, followed by another snap in the same attire while attending Carter Jr.’s game against the Golden State Warriors that evening. The next day, she shared more photos from the game, including a screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) simply stating, “period homie,” which she captioned with “Yo go, girl” on Instagram.
