WNBA's top draft pick, Paige, is rumored to be in a relationship! The person involved is her college teammate, as revealed by a phone case that hints at their connection.

On June 22, Beijing time, the Daily Mail reported that Paige, the stunning first pick of the WNBA team Dallas Wings, is suspected to be in a relationship. Her college teammate, Azzi Fudd, shared a photo of her phone case today, which has the words “Paige-Buechler's girlfriend” printed on it, seemingly confirming their romance.

For a long time, many fans have speculated about the romantic relationship between this pair of close friends who fought side by side at the University of Connecticut for four seasons. This spring, when Fudd accompanied Paige to the WNBA draft, those speculations intensified. Now, Fudd has given the clearest signal through a phone case—she posted a mirror selfie while getting her hair done, and fans noticed that her phone case reads: “Paige-Buechler's girlfriend.” Although there were no other mentions of Buechler in this Instagram story, Fudd was smiling brightly.

This post has completely excited fans on social media—

“Good morning! What shocking news!”

“She’s finally tired of being called ‘best friend’”

“She just wants everyone to know!”

“Happy Pride Month!”

In May, Fudd, who is about to enter her fifth year of college, traveled to New York to witness Paige being selected first overall by the Dallas Wings in the WNBA draft. When Paige's name was called on April 15, the image of the two embracing was truly touching.

Together, they led UConn to a resounding 82-59 victory over the University of South Carolina, clinching the NCAA championship. Fudd scored 24 points and grabbed 5 rebounds in the final, while Paige contributed 17 points and 6 rebounds.

At 23, Paige has made a remarkable debut season in the WNBA, having played 10 games with an average of 18 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 5.8 assists. Her team, the Wings, will face the Washington Mystics in their next game. Chinese player Li Yueru joined the Wings through a trade and is now Paige's teammate.
