Angel Reese is constantly at the top of her game on the basketball court, and according to some recent dating rumors, it seems like her man should hit those same requirements. The Chicago Sky WNBA athlete is clearly a hot commodity off the court, too, as a fashion girlie/podcaster/newly-minted addition to season two of Netflix’s The Hunting Wives. So, her man should be equally as ambitious, no?
Enter: Wendell Carter Jr., a fellow NBA player who shoots for the Orlando Magic. The pair first sparked romance rumors when he attended her birthday party in May 2025, and according to Angel’s subtle and supportive social media posts. While the pair has remained relatively low-key, they’re likely still making moves off the court.
That being said, now seems like a good time to scroll through Angel Reese and Wendell Carter Jr.’s full relationship timeline. Come for the basketball, stay for the cuteness!

Months after her split with Cam’Ron Fletcher in March 2024, Angel shares a cryptic social media post where she admits she’d rather keep her relationships out of the spotlight.
“Now I see why people hide relationships and keep everything private,” she writes, adding, “Like I don’t think I’ll ever openly share that part of my life with y’all again until I’m married cause y’all do THE MOST!”
January 2025
During an episode of her Unapologetically Angel podcast, Angel reveals that she doesn’t plan on publicly sharing her relationship status until she’s married, which…is fair!
“I think the next time I’ll post I’m in a relationship is when I'm married,” she tells her guest, Pretty Vee. “And that’s some time from now, so you ain’t gonna see it.”
She adds, “You might see me on a date. You gonna have to catch me though. Like, I’m not gonna post a man on my page.” Noted!

Once again, Angel plants evidence on TikTok with a video where she’s fully decked out in Magic gear.
Then, Wendell seemingly breaks his silence on their relationship during a guest spot on FanDuel TV’s Run It Back. He responds to speculation surrounding his connection with Angel, saying, “That’s the homie for sure, we locked in.”
Of course, host Michelle Beadle playfully teases him over his word choice. “What? The homie? The homie?” she jokes.
He adds, “Y’all gonna find out when y’all need to find out. We’ll just leave it at that. That’s my girl, though. We locked in for sure.”
Angel seems to acknowledge his response on social media, as she writes, “Period homie.”

Angel is truly out here treating every Orlando Magic game like her personal fashion show, as she supports Wendell in stunning courtside outfits. She posts a series of photos on December 4, 6, and 7.

She keeps her subtle support for Wendell going the next day, as she reposts a ’fit pic featuring a look she allegedly styled. Ofc, he makes a nod to her Chicago Sky jersey number with the caption, “5tyled by my personal 5tylist #thehomie #iykyk.” She also drops a comment, writing, “5tylist is heaven-sent.”
