Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd are no longer dating, and they confirm the relationship has ended. ESPN reports that Fudd hosted Bueckers on her podcast and the two discuss their relationship, including details tied to their time with the Dallas Wings and Fudd’s recovery from knee surgery.
Other outlets, drawing on reporting and statements, focus on timing. Yahoo Sports and Fox News both say the women split more than a year ago, before Bueckers and Fudd became teammates again with the Dallas Wings. Yahoo Sports notes the context that the pair were back-to-back No. 1 overall picks in the WNBA draft, underscoring their reunion as teammates after the breakup.
Newsweek and the New York Post also frame the updates as a “confirmation” or “admission” about the relationship after the WNBA season, while Yahoo’s second item describes the news as a relationship update that caught people by surprise. Across coverage, the common thread is the breakup and that it occurred before their Dallas teammateship began.
