Who is Paige Buecker's girlfriend? Everything you need to know about basketball's latest ‘power-couple'
Image via Instagram/ Azzi Fudd Paige Bueckers isn't just dominating the WNBA courts—she's winning hearts off the court too. The basketball phenom, who's already made waves as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, has sparked a media frenzy after subtly going public with her romantic life. Long speculated but never confirmed, the identity of Bueckers' girlfriend has finally been revealed—none other than her former UConn teammate and best friend, Azzi Fudd. From locker room laughs to headline-making appearances, the pair's bond has evolved into a romance that's now impossible to ignore. Their recent public outings, cozy social media moments, and playful on-camera confirmations have sent fans into a tizzy. As Bueckers takes her first season in the pros by storm, her relationship with Fudd adds an inspiring and refreshing chapter to sports celebrity culture—one that's proudly queer, authentic, and fiercely modern. Who is Azzi Fudd? Azzi Fudd, like Bueckers, was a standout at UConn. A guard originally from the Washington, DC, area, she was recruited by Bueckers herself and joined the Huskies as a freshman in 2021. Known for her quieter demeanor complementing Bueckers's more outspoken personality, Fudd's work ethic and talent quickly earned her a reputation as one of the nation's elite guards. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo How did the love-birds meet? Their bond stretches back to teenage years at a USA Basketball camp, through championship runs at UConn. As reported, 'We're similar, but at the same time very different,' Fudd told CT Insider; 'I'm quieter, she's louder, but we have a lot of the same qualities: our work ethic, our goals' (via. Autostraddle). Bueckers even personally recruited Fudd to UConn—an early sign of the depth of their connection. What does Azzi Fudd do for a living? Fudd remains an active collegiate athlete at UConn, honing her game for a future WNBA career likely with the 2026 draft class. Meanwhile, Bueckers began her pro career this season with the Dallas Wings, earning All‑Star honors already in 2025. Off the court, Fudd has leveraged her heightened profile—posting viral TikToks of the duo doing trending memes, like the dinner bill bit: 'Princess treatment every time I'm with her' (via. Autostraddle). The subtle social media revelations of the 'it' couple Image via Instagram/ Azzi Fudd stories Their relationship arc has been publicly trackable: Fudd posted an Instagram story showing her phone case reading, 'Paige Bueckers' Girlfriend'—a pointed, cheeky confirmation during Pride Month. The turn from speculation to acknowledgement continued at the WNBA All‑Star orange carpet, where a fan asked Bueckers, 'How well do you know your D1 girlfriend?' She responded with a smile and a playful 'Alright'. They've been seen holding hands after Lost Angeles Wings road games, flaunting matching 'A' and 'P' necklaces, and cheering each other from the stands—Fudd rocking Bueckers's No. 5 jersey at a Wings‑Mystics game. What began as an unshakeable friendship forged in high‑pressure collegiate arenas has blossomed into a deeply supportive romantic bond. Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd's relationship offers more than ambient celebrity romance—it's a public testament to LGBTQ+ representation in high‑profile women's sports. With social media soft‑launches building to bold gestures of acknowledgment, the pair is demonstrating that love, visibility, and athletic excellence can coexist powerfully. As both navigate pro and collegiate careers, their union signifies a broader cultural moment where love and identity stand proudly alongside achievement. For Bueckers fans and sports watchers, the answer to 'Who is Paige Bueckers's girlfriend?' is clear—and inspiring: her partner, confidante, and fellow trailblazer, Azzi Fudd.

Caitlin Clark skips the Fever's game against the Liberty due to groin injury- marks her eleventh miss of the season
Indiana Fever fans witnessed heartbreak on Tuesday (July 15) during the team's game against the Connecticut Sun as star player Caitlin Clark seemed to re-aggravate a previous groin injury during the final 40 seconds of play, which forced her to the bench. Although the fever managed to end the day on a happy note by winning 85-77, Clark's long-term future amid rampant injuries this season has left all concerned. Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark talks to fans before a WNBA basketball game against the New York Liberty Wednesday, July 16, 2025, in New York. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II)(AP) Caitlin Clark sits out Wednesday's game As a result of re-injuring her groin injury, Clark was forced to sit out the Fever's Wednesday (July 16) game against the New York Liberty. The team announced the same via a social media post that went up right before the game. 'Status Update for tonight's game against New York: Caitlin Clark - Out (right groin),' wrote the team's official handle. She was previously listed as questionable for playing the game following her injury on Tuesday. At the time, head coach Stephanie White had confirmed the news by saying that Clark had 'felt a little something in her groin' and she 'will get it evaluated and see what happens from there'. This season has spelled doom for Caitlin Clark as far as injuries are concerned. Wednesday marks the eleventh game Clark has had to sit out this season due to injuries- a career high record for her. She previously suffered an injury to her left groin and quad. Sports medicine physician weighs in In response to the Fever's official announcement, sports medicine physician and CEO of The Injury Expertz, Dr Jesse Morse, weighed in on the situation. Also read: Caitlin Clark out of All-Star weekend: Here's who can replace Fever star in three-point contest 'Caitlin Clark appears to have reaggravated her right adductor/groin strain. The tricky part about groin strains is they are a very slow healing tissue, easy to reinjure, and constantly required for anything involving the legs. Sometimes even shutting them down for a couple weeks isn't enough,' she wrote on social media. 'I've had good luck with injecting these specifically at where the adductor (usually longus) tendon attaches to the pubic bone with stem cells, ideally allografts, as weaker and inflammatory options like PRP are usually not strong enough and caused too much downtime. These are quite common in NFL players. Whatever the medical staff is doing right now is unfortunately not enough.' Clark is also out of the upcoming WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis on Saturday (July 19). By Stuti Gupta
