Basketball fans are abuzz after Azzi Fudd drops a hint that she might be dating Paige Bueckers.
Rumors surrounding the relationship between former UConn basketball stars Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd have reignited, thanks to a recent social media post.
The two, who helped lead the Huskies back to prominence in women’s college basketball during their final game together in April, have long been the subject of fan speculation about a possible romance off the court. That speculation gained serious momentum over the weekend when Fudd shared an Instagram story featuring a mirror selfie — with a phone case that read “Paige Bueckers’ Girlfriend.” The post was widely interpreted as an official confirmation of their relationship.
Bueckers and Fudd have been known for their close friendship since high school and frequently appeared together in NIL-sponsored content while at UConn. Though the idea that they were more than friends had been circulating for some time, neither had directly addressed the rumors until now.
Buzz around their bond intensified after the WNBA Draft, where Fudd sat beside Bueckers at her draft table and was the first to congratulate her following her name being called No. 1 overall pick.
