Rumors about their romantic relationship reached a fever pitch when Azzi visited the WNBA Draft and sat with Paige, their UConn coach, and had a "mic'd up" warning for the camera. Fans speculated that Azzi would reveal some juicy details if Paige weren't mic'd up. Fast forward a couple of months, and a revealing selfie and phone case confirmed the rumors.
Who's Paige Bueckers' Better Half?
Azzi Fudd essentially confirmed their relationship by posting a mirror selfie with "Paige Bueckers' Girlfriend" emblazoned on her phone case on Instagram. Fans, as you can imagine, lost their minds! One fan wrote, "I saw it 2 mins after she posted, and I was crashing out and screaming 😭." Others joked that people still denied the relationship despite the evidence in plain sight. A fan commented, "They could be holding hands and people would still be like, 'Wow, that's so nice, they do that for each other as friends 😂.'"
A telltale sign of their relationship is a TikTok skit where they pretend to be on a dinner date, with Azzi captioning the video, "Princess treatment every time I'm with her #spoiled."
When asked about social media, Azzi commented, "Social media is your way to write your own narrative and show who you really are off the court." Fans took this as a subtle nod to her relationship with Paige. "Show who you are" - that's right, Ms. Paige Bueckers' girlfriend!!!!! 🤟🏻🫶🏻, wrote one excited fan. Another quipped, "in her WAG [Wives and Girlfriends] season she's been posting tho."
The duo first met as high schoolers at a USA Basketball camp. They described their initial impressions as conflicting. "I kind of just stereotyped her. I was like, 'This skinny little white girl, I'm good,'" Fudd told CT News. "But she's deceiving."
"I don't really look like a basketball player as much as I am," Bueckers added. "She definitely underestimated me. I knew what she was. She was a bucket. But I guess it took a while for her to understand what I was."
"She's a hard head," the Dallas Wings player said. "She doesn't like listening to me sometimes. But I try to help her as much as I can. Right now, I'm trying to get her to be more confident and not second-guess everything she does because she's a really great player."
Azzi has often been spotted courtside during Paige's Dallas Wings games. However, on June 22, she was seen wearing a Washington Mystics jersey during their matchup, supporting her friend and Mystics guard, Georgia Amoore.
