Paige Bueckers has addressed rumors about her relationship status, confirming that she is dating former UConn teammate Azzi Fudd. This was shared publicly during the WNBA All-Star Break event where Bueckers participated in an interview game called “How well do you know your D1 girlfriend?” The Dallas Wings rookie ended up revealing her relationship with Fudd, which seems to have been a topic of speculation since their national championship win in April.
The outlet asked various questions about Fudd, like where she went to high school and some details about her family. Bueckers noted that her nickname for Fudd was “Fad.” The two have been rumored to be together for a few weeks now, and it’s been a hot topic among fans.
While it’s unclear how long they’ve officially been a couple, they were teammates from 2021 until this past April. Fudd has even been touted as one of the best players in the upcoming season, averaging 13.6 points per game in her first full season after injuries plagued her earlier years.
Fudd faced some setbacks, including a knee injury that kept her out for much of one season and an ACL tear that saw her miss nearly the entire season following that. Interestingly, Bueckers herself suffered an ACL injury before the last season. They both played in two national championship games, with Bueckers joining UConn a year prior to Fudd.
Fudd decided to stay in college for another season, while Bueckers was selected first overall by the Dallas Wings shortly after clinching the championship. It feels like this duo could be just warming up when it comes to making headlines, and, well, fans are surely excited!
