Are Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd dating? All you need to know about couple who just made it official
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 in the TikTok's comment section, 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.

Warriors Superstar Stephen Curry Opens Up on Retirement, Emphasizes Love for the Game and Future Plans
Jakob Poeltl and Stephen Curry (Image via Canadian Press) Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has offered fans a clearer picture of his future in the NBA, easing concerns about an imminent retirement. At 37 years old and with two seasons left on his current deal through 2026-27, Curry is approaching the twilight of his career with perspective and balance—preferring to take things 'two years at a time' rather than commit to a fixed retirement date. Stephen Curry's Realistic Yet Optimistic Outlook Stephen Curry's comments reflect a mature understanding of the toll the game takes, especially during the offseason. He pointed out that preparing for the season—repetitive conditioning, strength training, and daily grind—has become more challenging than the 82-game season itself. Yet, he still finds joy in playing. 'The games are the easy part,' he said. 'That's the fun part.' When it comes to retirement, Curry spoke candidly. He noted that some players are 'forced out,' while others walk away on their own terms. His hope is to be in the latter group, choosing to leave when his body tells him it's time—not because he can no longer keep up. 'I don't want to be the one that's limping up and down the court trying to keep up with the young bucks,' Curry added. How Stephen Curry is Still Elite at 37 Despite being one of the NBA's oldest active stars, Stephen Curry remains one of its most effective. He averaged 24.5 points, six assists, and 4.4 three-pointers per game last season, earning All-NBA Second Team honors. His production hasn't slowed, and the Golden State Warriors are making roster decisions with Curry's competitive window in mind, hoping to capitalize on their championship potential while he's still playing at a high level. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 30 Beautiful women who lived 80-100 years ago Undo Preparing for Life After Basketball Curry isn't just thinking about basketball. Off the court, he's laying the groundwork for his next chapter. He serves as CEO of Thirty Ink, a business umbrella that includes Unanimous Media, Gentleman's Cut bourbon, and 7k, a marketing consultancy. He's also expressed interest in sports broadcasting and NBA ownership, following the footsteps of former players like Michael Jordan and Carmelo Anthony. Whether he ends up in a broadcast booth or part of a front office, Curry seems intent on remaining a prominent figure in basketball long after his final game. Stephen Curry is Not Done Yet For now, Warriors fans can rest easy: Curry isn't planning to retire anytime soon. His focus is on staying healthy, having fun, and chasing more titles. His transparency about the aging process, the demands of the game, and the realities of legacy offer a refreshing, human look at one of the NBA's greatest players.

Diamondbacks visit Pirates with a sense change is near
The Arizona Diamondbacks are slipping out of the playoff race and will attempt to gain some traction when they hit the road to face the surging Pittsburgh Pirates in the opener of a three-game series Friday. HT Image The Diamondbacks came away empty-handed during a three-game series against the Houston Astros, after returning from the All-Star break with three consecutive victories over the St. Louis Cardinals. Arizona will turn to right-hander Ryne Nelson (6-2, 3.52 ERA) on Friday, opposite Pittsburgh rookie right-hander Mike Burrows (1-3, 4.70). The Pirates are not in postseason contention and are likely to be sellers approaching the July 31 trade deadline. But there have been some bright spots of late, including a surge from their often-anemic offense during their three- game sweep this week of the American League Central-leading Detroit Tigers. The Pirates have been especially dangerous at home, where they have won 10 of their past 13 games. Pittsburgh first baseman Spencer Horwitz posted a pair of three-hit games in the team's first two wins over Detroit. On Wednesday, he hit his first career grand slam in a 6-1 win. He was batting .225 when the series started after opening the month with a .258 average. "I don't know that it's been that bad," Horwitz said. "I think the underlying numbers have been pretty good. But yeah, I'm getting the outward results. And I think it's rewarding, for sure." Arizona had high expectations when the season began, but a disappointing first half has brought uncertainty as the trade deadline approaches. "It's kind of weird. I might say goodbye to some players on the road and I'll never see them in this clubhouse again," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said after the team's 4-3 loss to Houston on Wednesday. "It initially grabs you and postures you a little bit, but we've been hardened by this game, and we know that it's a possibility and we'll figure a way out of it. We'll be fine no matter what happens." The Pirates took two of three games from the Diamondbacks in Arizona from May 26-28. Nelson started the lone Diamondbacks victory in that series, tossing 6 2/3 shutout innings on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts. Nelson, who is 1-0 with a 3.09 ERA in two career starts against Pittsburgh, has done his part during Arizona's search for consistency. Since moving to the rotation full-time on June 7, Nelson is 4-1 with a 3.61 ERA and has 34 strikeouts over 42 1/3 innings. Nelson won his most recent outing over the Cardinals on Saturday, after he allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out four over six innings. The Diamondbacks have won six of Nelson's past seven starts. Burrows' first career start against Arizona didn't go well, as he gave up five runs (four earned) on five hits over 3 1/3 innings on May 27. But Pittsburgh rallied for a 9-6 victory. In Burrows' most recent outing, he allowed two runs on three hits, walked two and struck out six over five innings during a 10-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. --Field Level Media
