Angel Reese never fails to make headlines, whether it’s for her on-court heroics, her bold fashion choices, or her podcast moments. However, lately, the hot topic has been her love life. Rumors are swirling that Reese might be more than just a fan of the Orlando Magic, sparking speculation that her beau might be a Magic player.
Reese has been spotted multiple times at Magic games, even earning the title of ‘lucky charm’. Sure, maybe she’s just a basketball lover showing support for her favorite team. But, come on, repeated appearances for just one team? Something’s definitely up. And considering her recent comments on her podcast Unapologetically Angel, it’s not hard to connect the dots.
When asked about her relationship status, the 22-year-old told rapper Mariah the Scientist, “I am [single]. You got somebody for me?” When pressed about her type, she made it clear, “He got to be tall. 6’7″, 6’8″… NBA.” Standing at 6’3 herself, it’s pretty understandable.
After this, when Sky Chicago Sky star was again at the Magic game against Boston Celtics, fans were quick to pounce, with one commenting, “Def someone taller than her! She said she doesn’t like short men so 6’7 and up! Wendell or Paolo?!?”
That still remains a mystery, but this isn’t the first time she’s sparked curiosity. Back in November, the Chicago Sky forward was spotted at Disney World, and she didn’t miss the chance to catch the Magic’s 94-90 win over the Indiana Pacers. Before that, her first Magic game appearance came against the Chicago Bulls.
Initially, everyone assumed she was there to cheer on the Bulls and embrace her new Chicago vibes. But now, it’s safe to say that there’s more to the story. But along with her NBA sideline appearances, she’s grinding, too. With her debut in the highly anticipated Unrivaled league around the corner, she’s back training with top-notch trainers.
Angel Reese laces up for Unrivaled
Angel Reese isn’t wasting any time getting back into top form after her WNBA rookie season was cut short due to a wrist injury. With the highly anticipated Unrivaled League debut nearing, the forward is putting in serious work to ensure she’s ready.

Reese’s grind isn’t just for show, though. She knows she needs to prove her mettle in the newly founded league for all the hype around her and her massive paycheck. The Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart-led league is set to kick off on January 17, 2025, in Miami, and it is the perfect platform for the rookie to shine.
For now, we’re excited to see the WNBA star rock the court in Miami, and who knows, maybe we’ll spot a certain Orlando Magic player cheering her on from the stands. All the pieces will come together, and we can finally get the answer to the big ‘WHO’ question.
