NBA and WNBA fans have been buzzing nonstop — and now the speculation has finally been put to rest. Orlando Magic big man Wendell Carter Jr. has officially addressed the swirling rumors about his relationship with Chicago Sky rookie sensation Angel Reese, and his answer was so direct, so confident, and so unexpectedly tender that it instantly lit up the internet.
In a recent interview, Carter Jr. was asked point-blank about the growing chatter surrounding him and Reese. The signs have been hard to ignore: supportive Instagram stories, public interactions, subtle comments, and the undeniable chemistry fans have been dissecting for months. Reporters were looking for clarity — and Carter Jr. delivered.
No hesitation.
No overthinking.
No PR-polished phrasing.
Just three words that detonated across social media:
“That’s my girl.”
With that, the basketball world had the confirmation it had been waiting for.
What makes the moment even more striking is how effortlessly genuine the two stars seem together. Angel Reese has risen from college icon to one of the brightest, boldest personalities in the WNBA — a fierce competitor with star power that transcends the court. Wendell Carter Jr., on the other hand, has become one of the NBA’s most reliable, respected young big men, known for his discipline, maturity, and calm leadership.
Together?
They’re electric.
Fans have long noticed the small gestures: Reese dropping comments under his posts, Carter Jr. reposting her highlights, the two publicly celebrating each other’s achievements. And unlike many public sports relationships that feel overly managed or carefully curated, this one feels strikingly real — two athletes simply supporting each other, no theatrics, no showmanship.
Now that Carter Jr. has said the words out loud, the internet has gone into full fan-mode. Memes are trending. Reaction videos are everywhere. WNBA and NBA communities — notoriously separate — are uniting in rare celebration. For once, it’s a storyline that isn’t messy, controversial, or dramatic. It’s wholesome, sweet, and surprisingly refreshing.
But with confirmation comes anticipation.
Fans are already imagining future courtside moments, dual-league power-couple energy, and what this pairing might mean for the visibility of both leagues. Reese’s star continues to rise in Chicago. Carter Jr. is thriving in Orlando. And now, with their relationship public, they’re positioned to become one of basketball’s most beloved duos — both on and off the hardwood.
One thing is certain:
This is only the beginning, and fans cannot wait to see what comes next for Wendell Carter Jr. and Angel Reese — basketball’s newest, most talked-about power couple.
