On her podcast ‘Unapologetically Angel’, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese opened up about her personal life, specifically why she tends to date only athletes. In a candid conversation, Reese shared the unique dynamics and challenges that come with her high-profile status as a dominant athlete, and how those dynamics influence her choice of partners.

“You don’t see a lot of relationships where the woman is just as dominant as the man, where the woman can provide for herself without the man. He has to bring something completely different to the table because there’s nothing you can buy me that I can’t buy for myself.”

“Probably quality time, and that’s hard too because, well, I only mess with athletes. I’m 6’3″, where am I going to find… I mean, maybe I need to find me a little lawyer who’s 6’3″.”

“I usually date basketball players, and the NBA season and the WNBA season, I mean, obviously, it’s different now—my off-season is their season, so I can make that work. But when I was in college, it was a no. I couldn’t go to college games, I couldn’t go to NBA games because it was literally the same season.”

For Reese, it’s essential that her partner brings something distinct to the relationship beyond material things.  Reese pointed out that, given her level of success and independence, she values qualities like time and emotional support over material gifts. However, even finding time with her partner can be a challenge due to her demanding schedule. This preference stems from the shared understanding of the sports world’s demands.

Standing at 6’3″, Reese also emphasized the importance of physical compatibility, humorously addressing the difficulty of finding men her height. Typically, Reese dates basketball players, which comes with its own set of challenges, especially in managing schedules. She explained how the timing of the NBA and WNBA seasons now offers some flexibility in her relationships. 

Angel Reese’s insights provide a glimpse into the complexities of being a successful female athlete and the unique dynamics that influence her relationships. Her candidness about dating athletes reflects the challenges of balancing love and career while maintaining her own high standards.


Angel Reese Dating History

Angel Reese, the star of women’s basketball, has made headlines for both her incredible athletic achievements and her personal life, particularly her dating history. Here’s a look at her notable relationships:

In June 2023, Reese confirmed her relationship with Cam’Ron Fletcher, a fellow college basketball player. Their shared understanding of the demands of college athletics helped strengthen their bond. During their time together, they enjoyed a vacation in Jamaica, where they shared several moments on social media, including sporting matching swimsuits. 

However, by March 2024, Reese publicly announced that she and Fletcher had parted ways. Reese made it clear that she was focusing on her career and personal growth.

Rumors began circulating in 2024 that Reese might be dating Detroit Pistons player Jalen Duren. While neither of them confirmed the relationship, fans speculated about the possible romance after both were spotted on what appeared to be a joint vacation in July. 

Additionally, Reese was seen wearing a Detroit Pistons hoodie, which fueled speculation that the two were an item. Despite the hints, both Reese and Duren have kept quiet, leaving fans to wonder if they are indeed the newest NBA-WNBA couple.

As of now, Reese seems focused on her career, leaving her personal life more private.
