Paige Bueckers Officially Reveals Romance with Former Teammate Azzi Fudd
Consider this your courtside briefing on WNBA rookie Paige Bueckers officially confirming her romance with former UConn standout Azzi Fudd. In a recent WAG Talk video published July 17, the first overall draft pick of the Dallas Wings answered a rapid fire series of personal questions before dropping the news that fans have eagerly awaited.
The video segment began with questions ranging from high school affiliations to family basketball history. When Paige was asked where her “D1 girlfriend” played and what award she earned in high school, she delivered correct answers on both counts. The moment fans will never forget came when Paige shyly revealed the words on her phone case. She admitted with a grin that it reads, “Paige Bueckers’s girlfriend.” A nod to the viral mirror selfie Azzi shared earlier this year that featured that very case in pink lettering. Then interviewer Maddy leaned in with a simple prompt: “Okay girlfriend reveal, it’s…” and at last Paige looked up and said, “It’s Azzi Fudd.”
Speculation over their relationship stretched back to April’s WNBA draft. Azzi Fudd joined Paige and her family on stage as Paige became the first overall selection by the Dallas Wings. Fans who remembered their days together at the University of Connecticut saw clues in stolen glances and shared celebrations. This confirmed relationship marks a public chapter after months of social media buzz and affectionate posts.
Reactions from followers flooded the comments section. One user declared, “This is the real hard launch,” while another praised the interviewer, writing, “She deserves a raise for this moment.” Hearts and crying emojis accompanied messages like, “GIRLFRIEND, we have arrived.” Many noted how Paige could barely contain her joy, her smile stretching ear to ear as she spoke.
Just hours before the WAG Talk reveal, Paige posted another Instagram carousel showing her and Azzi curled up on a couch. The caption read “Growing through it all. Halfway through. Thank you God.” The intimate snapshots provided a candid glimpse into their life off the court and underscored the sincerity of their bond.
Both athletes boast impressive resumes. Paige dazzled at UConn before making that historic draft leap. Azzi earned Gatorade Player of the Year honors and joined the Chicago Sky earlier this season. Their union highlights two of basketball’s most promising talents building a life together beyond championships and highlight reels.
And that wraps up this high scoring romance. Stay tuned for the next quarter.
