Angel Reese has mastered the art of keeping her personal life private. She knows there are a lot of critics and trolls out there who are waiting to mock or pass judgment on her life.

In the past, the only relationship she was not shy to reveal to the public was when she was dating former college basketball star Cam’Ron Fletcher.

After that ended, she was rumored to be in a relationship with Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren. They were allegedly vacationing in the same location during her first offseason as a WNBA player.

Reese began to play into those rumors, wearing Pistons gear on IG lives, as she enjoyed the attention. Soon, she made it clear that she was not dating anyone.

Then, earlier this year, Orlando Magic star Wendell Carter Jr. was spotted at her 23rd birthday party, sparking dating rumors. When the center was speaking with Chandler Parsons on Run It Back, the latter asked him if something was going on between them.

That’s the homie for sure, we’re locked in. Y’all gonna find out when y’all need to find out. That’s my girl, though. We’re locked in for sure.

Wendell Carter Jr. replied

The Magic star was cheeky when answering, as it seemed he was agreeing he was in a relationship with Angel Reese. At the same time, using the term ‘homie’ confused the show’s cast and certainly a lot of fans.

Fans wonder if Wendell Carter Jr. confirmed relationship with Angel Reese

Hearing this segment, fans were left wondering if what Wendell Carter Jr. said was an acceptance or another way of trying to confuse everyone.

They pointed out that usually, no one calls their better half by the term ‘homie’, which is usually a reference to a friend. Then there was the fact that Angel Reese made it clear she did not enjoy her relationship becoming public fodder.

At the same time, some believed it was the new generation way of saying that the 26-year-old was indeed dating the WNBA superstar. Check out examples of those reactions below.

Some fans even pointed out Angel Reese’s recent appearances at Orlando Magic games. Considering how she usually supports her DMV area teams, going to games in Florida seemed odd.

Angel Reese joins in to add more confusion

Period homie.

Angel Reese wrote

This tweet sent fans into a frenzy, as they could not help but realize that the two basketball stars were messing with fans. Either they are dating, but not willing to speak about it officially.

Or, they were just going with the flow and reeling in all the attention they could get. The WNBA rebounding phenom has mastered the art of using attention in any form to her advantage. Therefore, this could be just another of those instances.
