Spotted arm in arm, facetiming in cowboy fits to matching necklaces: Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd's relationship timeline
Fans have been speculating on the nature of Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers' relationship for months, and now, the soon-to-be WNBA star has put an end to the argument.

They met as teens at a USA Basketball camp, became college teammates at UConn, and now they have confirmed what fans have suspected for years: Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd are officially dating. The announcement came during a WNBA All-Star event in Indianapolis on July 17, when Bueckers proudly named Fudd as her “D1 girlfriend.”
For fans, it was the confirmation of a slow-build love story that’s been taking place in plain sight, whether they were on the court or the grass.
‘It’s Azzi Fudd’: Bueckers confirms long-rumored romance
The reveal happened during a WAG Talk segment, where Bueckers was quizzed on how well she knows her girlfriend. She nailed every question—Fudd’s high school, her awards, even the message on her phone case.
The case in question was shown in a viral selfie weeks earlier, and read: “Paige Bueckers’ Girlfriend.” The hint was hard to ignore. But now, it’s no longer just a hint. When prompted for a name, Bueckers answered clearly: “Azzi Fudd.”
Fans celebrated it in the comment section of their post, noting the lengthy journey from rumor to reality, saying they “prayed for times like this” and that the duo had “come a long way.” A few even pointed out that Bueckers, while talking about Fudd, “was smiling so hard the whole time.”
A public relationship built on private history
Bueckers and Fudd go way back—before the viral selfies and All-Star carpets. They were friends and teammates at UConn, where Bueckers reportedly played a key role in recruiting Fudd to the program. Their connection deepened through championship runs, rehab sessions, and constant support.
When they’re not on the hardwood, the two have been spotted arm in arm at Dallas Wings games, FaceTiming in cowboy fits, and rocking matching “A” and “P” necklaces. Fudd, still at UConn for her final collegiate season, continues to share clips of their life together—playful TikToks, sideline cuddles, and mid-season visits.
Now that the romance is official, fans will be cheering the couple on for more than one reason: on-court wins and off-court representation.
