Angel Reese has been one of the most talked-about stars in women’s basketball this year, not just for what she does on the court but for what she’s shared off it. The Chicago Sky forward has built a reputation as one of the WNBA’s standout players and personalities, and now her personal life is getting attention just as much as her game. Rumors about her connection with Orlando Magic forward Wendell Carter Jr. have been swirling for months, and a recent Instagram post has sent those whispers into full-blown speculation.The two athletes have each made headlines in their own right Angel Reese as a dominant force in the WNBA, known for her rebounding and growing influence, and Carter as a reliable big man in the NBA who’s carved out a solid role with the Magic. Their worlds crossed often at games and on social media, but until now neither had publicly confirmed anything beyond friendship until Reese’s latest post seemed to say a lot without saying much at all. Angel Reese sparks romance buzzThis week, Angel Reese dropped a three-photo series on her Instagram that immediately lit up social feeds. In the shots, she’s at the Orlando Magic’s Kia Center Carter’s home court dressed in a custom Orlando Magic jersey with “My Man” on the back. That alone got people talking, but it was the final image that really sparked the buzz: Reese is shown from behind, and a man’s hand resting around her waist area made it likely fans assumed it was Wendell Carter Jr. standing close to her. Fans of both Angel Reese and Carter didn’t have to scroll far before spotting the shirt, the jersey, and then the body language that made the photos go viral almost instantly. What’s interesting is that this photo came after weeks of subtle social cues that people were picking up on from Angel Reese supporting Carter’s games to playful online interactions between the two. Carter himself had previously been asked about Reese in a now-widely shared interview clip. When pressed on whether they were more than friends, he called her his “homie” but then added, “That’s my girl though… we’re locked in.” That cautious yet affectionate response only added fuel to the speculation. What makes this moment stand out is how Reese has been publicly supportive of Carter for months showing up at Magic games, sporting Orlando colors, and sharing posts that hint at a connection greater than just friends. Before the recent Instagram drop, she was already seen courtside at Carter’s team games and even reacted online to some of his highlights, catching fans’ attention in every corner of social media. Now, with the “My Man” jersey moment spreading all over timelines, most people are reading that as Reese finally leaning into the relationship chatter instead of keeping it completely private. Whether they choose to spell it out with words or keep letting their actions do the talking seems to be their choice, but fans are clearly here for it.In the end, if this post was meant to quiet the rumors it didn’t. It amplified them, and now Angel Reese and Wendell Carter Jr. are one of the buzziest possible NBA/WNBA couples in the conversation right now. Whatever comes next, the internet will be watching closely.
