Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers' relationship moved from rumour to something close to confirmation in New York on WNBA draft night, when the Dallas Wings guard was captured on camera wildly cheering as her former UConn teammate and apparent girlfriend was taken No. 1 overall by the Wings in the 2026 draft.
The roles were reversed the year before. In 2025, Fudd was courtside at the WNBA draft when Bueckers was taken first overall, following their glittering run together at UConn, where they won a national championship. Their on-court chemistry, built over years with USA Basketball and then in Storrs, had long fed online speculation that there was more between them than a well-oiled backcourt.
