November 19, 2025

IT’S OFFICIAL: Wendell Carter Jr Confirms He’s Dating Angel Reese NBA x NCAA Power Couple Revealed!”

Angel Reese officially has a man and the rumors fans have been whispering about for months have finally been confirmed.

The Chicago Sky superstar, known as one of the most outspoken and visible players in the WNBA, has always kept her dating life out of the spotlight… until now. For months, fans online have speculated about her relationship status, linking her to one particular NBA star. Now, the mystery is over because Wendell Carter Jr. has confirmed what many suspected.

Social Media Clues Sparked the Fire

Reese has long been open about nearly every aspect of her career and lifestyle, but her romantic life has always been the one boundary she refused to cross. She even said last year that she would never publicly discuss her dating life unless she was married.

That made her Instagram post last week even more intriguing.

Reese dropped a series of photos showing her thriving in the offseason and added a caption that sent social media into a frenzy:
“ion post my boo or my money just know i got both… rebranding & yes, i got both.”

Fans immediately speculated again that she was with a certain Orlando Magic star. And this time, they were right.

Wendell Carter Jr. Makes It Official

During a casual conversation with former NBA player Chandler Parsons, Carter was asked point blank whether he was dating Angel Reese.

His response ended all speculation:
“That’s the homie for sure… y’all gonna find out when y’all need to find out. That’s my girl, though. We’re locked in for sure.”

That was it. No denial, no teasing. Just a direct confirmation that the two are indeed together.

The reveal sent WNBA and NBA fans into meltdown mode the crossover couple nobody expected has suddenly become one of sports’ hottest new relationships.

What This Means for Angel Reese’s Future in Chicago

With Reese now officially tied to an NBA player in Orlando, the natural question is:
Will she push for a trade to be closer to him?

The Orlando Magic don’t have a WNBA team at least not yet. But that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating. Reese has already publicly expressed frustration with Chicago’s performance this past season. She was quoted in the Chicago Tribune saying:

“I’m not settling for the same we did this year.”

Her message was clear: if Chicago doesn’t show commitment to building a contender, she won’t hesitate to seek a move.

Combine that with her newly revealed relationship, and trade rumors are only going to grow louder.

Several teams have already been tied to possible interest in Reese including the Aces, Liberty, Mystics, and Sparks and this news will only add fire to the speculation.

A Power Couple in the Making

Angel Reese is already one of the WNBA’s most marketable players, and Wendell Carter Jr., who is coming into his prime with Orlando, is becoming one of the franchise’s key pieces.

Together, they form a young, charismatic pairing with huge influence across sports and culture.

Reese’s fanbase known for being fiercely loyal has flooded social media with reactions, memes, and well wishes. Many noted how private the WNBA star likes to be and praised her for revealing her relationship only on her own terms.

Carter, on the other hand, has been trending nonstop since confirming the news a rare moment where NBA and WNBA worlds collide in such a public way.

How Long Has This Really Been Going On?

According to online sleuths (and Reese’s own posting patterns), the two have been subtly hinting at each other for several months. Fans have pointed out:

  • Matching or coordinated Instagram captions
  • Both being in the same cities at the same time
  • Likes and comments that seemed a little too friendly
  • Mutual friends dropping hints on social media

Still, nothing was ever confirmed… until now.

The subtlety made fans even more invested, turning the relationship reveal into one of the biggest WNBA related stories of the offseason.

What’s Next for the Couple?

Reese is entering a pivotal stage in her career. She is one of the faces of the league and has a massive social media presence that extends far beyond basketball. A move to a new team especially a contender could elevate her status even further.

Meanwhile, Carter is looking to help Orlando make a serious leap in the Eastern Conference. His growth, paired with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, has the Magic positioned as one of the NBA’s most promising young cores.

Now, with their relationship confirmed, fans are already imagining joint brand deals, appearances, and even a “power couple” marketing campaign.

And knowing Angel Reese? She’ll own it.

Will the NBA/WMBA Crossover Become the New Norm?

Reese and Carter now join a growing list of NBA/WNBA couples, and fans love them. The crossover reflects a growing synergy between the leagues, with WNBA players gaining more visibility, influence, and cultural power than ever before.

This relationship confirmation isn’t just celebrity gossip it’s another sign of how much women’s basketball has grown. The excitement around Angel Reese transcends the WNBA. She’s become a cultural figure, fashion icon, influencer, and now one half of a viral sports relationship.

Final Thoughts

Angel Reese said she wouldn’t discuss her relationship unless she was married but clearly, some exceptions are worth making.

One thing is certain:

The Reese Carter era has begun.

And fans can’t get enough of it.
