Former UConn basketball standouts Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, long rumored to be more than friends since their college days, seem to have finally made their relationship public.
The confirmation came through a subtle yet unmistakable hint from Fudd. On Saturday, she posted a mirror selfie to her Instagram Story that quickly sent fans into a frenzy. While she posed in a robe alongside hairstylist Haley Logan, tagging her as “the absolute best,” the real attention-grabber was her phone case boldly displaying the words “Paige Bueckers’ girlfriend.”
The post all but confirmed months of speculation surrounding the two athletes. The pair had been an electric duo last season, leading UConn to its first national championship since 2016. Fudd earned the Women’s Final Four Most Outstanding Player award for her performance, while Bueckers has since gone on to shine in the WNBA, averaging 18.2 points and 5.9 assists through her first 11 games with the Dallas Wings.
Fudd has frequently been seen courtside at Bueckers’ games, showing support as the latter adjusts to professional life.
Bueckers’ personal life first became a public topic in 2024 when private photos were leaked online without her consent. She later addressed the incident on social media, expressing gratitude for the overwhelming support:
“The devil works hard, but God and the people around me work WAY harder. The outpouring of love and support from the WBB community is unreal. Love y’all. Support women in sport ALWAYS,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter) in April 2024.
With Fudd’s latest post, it seems the pair have chosen to embrace their relationship on their own terms and fans couldn’t be happier.
