Rumors have been swirling in recent weeks that Orlando Magic forward Wendell Carter Jr. may be dating WNBA superstar Angel Reese. Now, in a revealing interview with FanDuel TV, Carter finally addressed the speculation—though not in the way fans might have expected.
When pressed about the rumors, Carter didn’t directly confirm the relationship, but his words spoke volumes. “That’s the homie, for sure. We’re locked in,” he told FanDuel TV hosts. “Y’all are going to find out when y’all need to find out. We’ll just leave it at that. That’s my girl, though. We’re locked in, for sure.” His choice of words sent social media into a frenzy, leaving fans speculating about the status of one of the most high-profile potential couples in professional basketball.
Carter, a former Duke standout now in his eighth NBA season, has been a consistent contributor for the Magic, averaging 12.1 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. Meanwhile, Reese has quickly cemented her place among the WNBA elite. The LSU alum has been an All-Star in each of her first two seasons and led her college team to a national championship, demonstrating poise and dominance on the court well beyond her years.
The interview didn’t stop at relationship talk. Carter was also asked about hypothetical matchups between other NBA and WNBA stars, specifically Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo and four-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson, a couple who are open about their own relationship. The hosts even suggested a playful 2-on-2 game between the two couples during All-Star weekend.
“I’m a competitor. I ain’t going to say that they’re going to win, you know what I mean?” Carter said with a grin. “Shoutout to Bam and A’ja, though. A’ja’s one of the best to ever do it already. Bam is doing his thing. But I’m always going to ride with the home team, for sure.” His playful confidence only fueled the conversation further, suggesting that if such a showdown ever happened, Carter and Reese would be a formidable duo.
Fans have been captivated not just by the basketball talent on display, but by the potential pairing of two of the sport’s brightest young stars. Both Carter and Reese are known for their competitive drive and charisma, and the idea of them together has sparked endless discussion across social media platforms.
While neither Carter nor Reese has made a full public confirmation, the hints are enough to keep fans eagerly watching—and waiting—for any further signs. Could this be the NBA-WNBA couple that dominates headlines both on and off the court? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: every word they say is now under intense scrutiny, and the basketball world is listening closely.
As speculation continues, one thing is undeniable: Wendell Carter Jr. and Angel Reese are two of the most compelling figures in basketball today, and their story—on and off the court—is far from over.
