The rumor mill is working overtime as Detroit Pistons star Jalen Duren and WNBA sensation Angel Reese continue to fuel speculation about a possible romance. Fans have been connecting the dots for months, and while neither party has confirmed anything, the clues are enough to keep the internet buzzing.
The whispers began back in July when Duren shared a stunning sunset photo on social media, followed by Reese posting a nearly identical shot. Coincidence? Fans didn’t think so. They quickly assumed the pair were an item, but the plot thickened when Reese shot down the rumors in September, claiming on her podcast Unapologetically Angel that she was single.
Still, the evidence hasn’t stopped piling up. Reese was spotted rocking a Pistons hoodie, sparking even more chatter, though neither she nor Duren has addressed the relationship rumors directly.
Reese, who previously dated Florida State star Cam’Ron Fletcher, has been open about her type in past podcast episodes. “I usually date basketball players,” she admitted, adding, “He’s gotta be tall—6’7”, 6’8”. Yeah, NBA.” Standing at 6’10”, Duren certainly fits the bill, but so far, any romantic connection remains unconfirmed.
While fans continue to speculate, it’s clear Angel Reese knows how to keep her followers hooked. Whether she’s making bold statements, owning her narrative, or simply dancing through life on TikTok, the Chicago Sky star has mastered the art of staying in the spotlight.
For now, the question remains: are Reese and Duren just friends, or is there something more brewing? Only time—and maybe another sunset photo—will tell.
