“I’m not looking for a man. I’m looking just for happiness in life” said Angel Reese back in November 2024. Being a public figure, and one of the most recognizable faces in women’s basketball, the Chicago Sky star’s dating life has seldom remained a public secret. During her tenure with the LSU Tigers, she openly kept sharing highlights of her relationship with Cam’Ron Fletcher until the two eventually split in March 2024. Since then, Reese has remained single, and proud of that fact. But is that not the case anymore?

Earlier today, Angel Reese took to her official X account to share a tweet with her 686,500+ followers. Without providing any further context, she simply wrote “i miss my man.” That wasn’t all, though.

Angel Reese put up the post only 45 minutes after she had gushed over the dynamic between GloRilla and Speedy Morman, a journalist and host of Complex’s ‘360 with Speedy’ show. “i want somebody look at me like speedy look at glo,” the Chi-Town Barbie wrote. The two had previously taken the internet by storm when Speedy interviewed the rapper in October 2024. The almost half-an-hour discussion had fans betting there were obvious sparks between them.

GloRilla herself denied the same when she was interviewed by, guess who, Angel Reese, a few days later. Looking to shut down the rumors, the $2 million worth rapper stated, “I don’t know why they was saying that, I’m just bubbly. They’re probably gonna say that I’m flirting with you cause I really just be smiling … But I’ve been seeing that a lot, ‘Oh my god, y’all have chemistry.’ He a good looking man but I don’t like light-skinned.”

Months in, the Chicago Sky star hasn’t been able to erase the memory. Or maybe the trio uniting at the Sprite Jam Fest today had her revisit their relationship, and probably with it, her own status.

Since Angel Reese broke up with the collegiate player, she hasn’t been linked with many individuals. One prospect, however, was a jaw-dropper. For a brief minute, Reese was linked with Phoenix Suns veteran Kevin Durant! It was when they were spotted side by side for a Team USA women’s basketball exhibition game. Later, Reese insisted on her “Unapologetically Angel” show that she was NOT with the 36-year-old.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Angel Reese hinting at a new romance, or just reminiscing about past love?

Have an interesting take?

Both TMZ and the Men’s Journal highlighted a return of the rumor back in early March. In honor of Women’s History Month, the Suns’ social media team asked the players to name their favorite female athlete. Someone named Serena Williams, while Devin Booker named Phoenix Mercury star Diana Taurasi. Meanwhile, Durant straight-out named Angel Reese as his favorite. Unfortunately for any Durant-Reese shippers out there, the WNBA icon has revealed that she only has a deep-rooted admiration for Durant, which is coupled with their shared connection to the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) area.

If Angel Reese is single and ready to start something, then she certainly will not have an absence of suitors. Unfortunately, the player’s expectations would limit the field.

Angel Reese laid out certain requirements for her next boyfriend

Back in September 2024, Angel Reese hosted rapper Latto and R&B singer Mariah the Scientist on her podcast ‘Unapologetically Angel’. During the conversation, when Reese was asked if she was single, she replied, “I am. You got somebody for me?” This led to the ‘Big Energy’ rapper asking the athlete about her type. She immediately replied, “He gotta be tall. Six-seven, six-eight.” With Reese herself being 6-foot-3, her demands are reasonable.

Further, when Mariah asked whether her ask meant she wants to date an NBA player, Reese confirmed, “Yeah, NBA.” But it doesn’t stop there. Back in late February, on her podcast with Cam Newton, she laid out more specific stipulations.

“I have a standard of what I live up to and how I live my life,” said Reese. “And as long as you can meet up to that and meet up to my expectations, then yeah. Don’t be going out of your way and trying to buy me stuff you can’t afford. Like I said, know what you’re getting yourself into. That’s like going in the store and buying a Louis Vuitton bag that’s $3,000, but you can’t buy it twice. So like I said, know what you’re getting yourself into.”

Amongst all of this, what Angel Reese would also want is someone who motivates her along the way. During a conversation with her agent, Jeanine Ogbonnaya, Reese revealed a toxic trait in a past relationship back in college. According to her, “he was brainwashing. The boy was brainwashing me, saying like, ‘you don’t have to work anymore.'” That’s a no go.

With these demands, one can only wait to see whether Angel Reese will finally meet someone who checks all of the boxes.
