Olympics 2024, got memorable because of certain high-octane moments. Apart from that, known as the city of romance, Paris had some crazy link-up stories. One photo of Gymnast Suni Lee and NBA star Devin Booker had people drawing multiple theories. The rumor mill would later extend to include his teammate, Kevin Durant, and the Chicago Sky rookie, Angel Reese.
The Sky forward was not part of the Olympics but went in as a spectator. In one such photo, she was sitting alongside Kevin Durant, her friend, and Stephen Curry. That was quick to gain traction, spewing up the dating rumors. Speaking about it on her podcast, Angel Reese spilled the hot tea on the entire situation. “No, that was never a thing. I don’t even know how that even became a thing.” She continued by stating KD was and is her favorite player, in part because they both hail from the DMV area, but there is no truth in any romantic connection.

They shouldn’t be believed “95% of the time,” Chi-Town Barbie replies. Stating that if she is spotted with someone, there is a high chance of them being just friends — something that has been proven over the past couple of months.
Is Angel Reese dating another Chicago athlete?
In March this year, Angel Reese confirmed her split from ex-boyfriend, Cam’Ron Fletcher. She took to Instagram Live and said, “Yeah, I’m single.” Also did not stop in explaining her decision that it was in her best interest. Subsequently, Reese removed all the previous posts and was ready to move on.
A few months in, the Sky rookie was mixed in dating rumors with the Chicago Bears quarterback. She stated that Caleb Williams might show up for one of her games, and the speculations just kept going. Until Reese opened up about their relationship. “Yeah, that’s my dog,” she had said, further revealing they were just mutual friends hailing from the DMV area. So that’s out of the book too.
She would then find herself linked with G-Herbo and Detroit Pistons player Jalen Duren. The latter of the lot left stirring after they posted similar vacation spot pictures and the 22-year-old was seen flaunting his jersey. While she cleared up the G-Herbo rumor stating they were just friends, Reese did not touch upon Duren. Could that be the 5% she set aside?
