Maya Reese, the Emmy-winning journalist and co-host of Angel Reese’s popular podcast Unapologetically Angel, has decided to part ways with the show after its successful launch in August 2024. Despite their on-air chemistry, the duo was not related by blood, but rather bonded through business, with Maya playing a key role as the producer and co-host.
In an Instagram post, Maya expressed gratitude for the experience, saying,
Had so much fun launching a new viral podcast… Grateful to have met some amazing people. Ready for whatever 2025 has otw.
When fans questioned her involvement with the podcast, she confirmed that she would no longer be a part of it and was moving on to fresh opportunities.
Maya, who has a diverse and impressive career—spanning producing, writing, interviewing, and even publishing a book—has worked with major outlets like NBC Sports, Overtime, and Playmaker. Despite her departure, it’s clear she had enjoyed her time on Unapologetically Angel, which made waves with its candid discussions, controversies, and viral moments.
While her exit leaves a void for fans of the show, it doesn’t seem to have slowed down the podcast’s momentum. Recently, Angel Reese, the star of the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, sparked headlines with another viral moment involving a playful comment about comedian Funny Marco being a “short king.”
Fans are already speculating about what’s next for Maya, knowing that with her versatile talents, she won’t be out of the spotlight for long.
