WNBA Star Paige Bueckers Confirms Relationship with Azzi Fudd

In a recent interview, Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers confirmed her relationship with former teammate Azzi Fudd. The confirmation came during a WAG Talk interview at a 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star event. Bueckers was asked a series of questions about Fudd, demonstrating her knowledge of her partner.

The interviewer posed the question, "How well do you know your D1 girlfriend?" Bueckers responded with a smile and proceeded to correctly answer questions about Fudd's high school, Gatorade Player of the Year recognition, class ranking, and the year of her first collegiate start. She also knew details about Fudd's father's college basketball team, the basketball player Fudd was named after, the award she won for her national championship performance, and the message on her phone case.

Rumors of a relationship between the two basketball stars have circulated for some time. Fans have noted instances of affection, including Fudd's selfie with a phone case that read "Paige Bueckers' Girlfriend." Bueckers also shared a photo of Fudd on her Instagram Stories after the 2025 ESPYs, accompanied by emojis. Other displays of affection include matching athleisure wear, holding hands at a Wings road game, and wearing matching necklaces.

The confirmation has been met with excitement from fans, who have expressed their happiness on social media.

BNN's Perspective: The confirmation of this relationship is a positive development, reflecting a growing acceptance and visibility of LGBTQ+ relationships in professional sports. While the focus should remain on the athletes' performance on the court, it's encouraging to see individuals comfortable enough to share their personal lives, fostering a more inclusive environment for both athletes and fans.
