Angel Reese And Wendell Carter Jr's Love Story, Inside WNBA Star's Private Dating Timeline

Angel Reese has kept her love life quiet for months, but small clues at times have slowly told a bigger story. Now, fans believe she is dating Wendell Carter Jr., and the timeline is starting to make sense. From private posts to public appearances, their connection seems steady. It all reportedly began around her birthday in May 2025, and since then, both stars have dropped hints without saying too much out loud.

Angel Reese keeps relationships private after Cam’Ron Fletcher split

Back in November 2024, WNBA star Angel Reese made it clear she was done sharing her personal life online. This came months after her breakup with Cam’Ron Fletcher in March 2024. She wrote on social media:

“Now I see why people hide relationships and keep everything private… I don’t think I’ll ever openly share that part of my life with y’all again until I’m married cause y’all do THE MOST!”

The message set the tone. She was not going to post a boyfriend or confirm anything easily. Then, in January 2025, on her podcast Unapologetically Angel, she said the same thing again during a talk with Pretty Vee. “I think the next time I’ll post I’m in a relationship is when I’m married… You might see me on a date. You gonna have to catch me though. Like, I’m not gonna post a man on my page.” So from the start, she warned everyone that if she was dating, fans would have to figure it out themselves.

Things started to shift in May 2025. During Angel Reese’s 23rd birthday party, Wendell Carter Jr. was seen around her, even filming her during the celebration. That moment caught the attention. Soon after, more signs followed. In June 2025, Angel posted a TikTok video showing pink and white roses and luxury gift boxes. She captioned it, “That’s a sign, that’s a signnnn.” Fans immediately connected the dots.

Then, in July 2025, Wendell Carter Jr. wore a T-shirt with Angel’s face on it during the WNBA All-Star weekend. That was not subtle at all. By September 2025, Angel posted another video showing multiple flower bouquets. Even though she did not name him, fans believed the message came from Wendell. The note can be read as:

“I’m so proud of everything you’ve accomplished. You are just scratching the surface! Keep going baby girl!”

In November 2025, things became clearer. Angel Reese posted a TikTok video wearing Orlando Magic gear, which raised even more questions since, Wendell Carter Jr. plays for the Orlando Magic. Around the same time, Wendell appeared on Run It Back on FanDuel TV. When asked about Angel, he was quoted as saying:

“That’s the homie for sure, we locked in.”

The host Michelle Beadle joked about his words, but Wendell did not back away. He added, “Y’all gonna find out when y’all need to find out. We’ll just leave it at that. That’s my girl, though. We locked in for sure.” Not long after, Angel responded online with a short but telling message, “Period homie.” That exchange made fans feel this was more than just rumours.

By December 2025, their bond was showing in public, even without an official statement. Angel Reese was seen at multiple Orlando Magic games, sitting courtside in stylish outfits while supporting Wendell Carter Jr. She posted photos from December 4, 6, 7, and again on December 10, 2025. One post stood out. She wore a jersey that said “My man” and shared a photo holding hands with someone. Fans did not need more clues. Wendell also gave a subtle nod. In one of his outfit posts, he wrote, “5tyled by my personal 5tylist thehomie iykyk,” a clear reference to Angel’s Chicago Sky jersey number.

She replied, “5tylist is heaven-sent.” Later that month, she kept posting from the Magic court, showing continued support. In January 2026, Angel took it even further. She travelled to Berlin on January 15, 2026, to watch the team play and later shared moments from London on January 17, 2026, again highlighting Wendell’s game-day looks. Step by step, without loud announcements, their relationship kept growing in front of everyone. Right now, neither, Angel Reese nor Wendell Carter Jr. has made a formal statement about their relationship. But their actions, posts, and words tell a clear story. They may be keeping it quiet, just like Angel said she would, but they are definitely not hiding it.
