Prior to this, Reese was never linked to Carter. However, she was seen several times watching Orlando Magic games with courtside seats. She was present during the Magic’s Game 1 and 3 playoff match against the Boston Celtics.
Angel Reese has been linked to several NBA players in dating rumors, though she has often dismissed speculation about her personal life.

One of the most talked-about rumors involved Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren, with reports suggesting the two spent time together over the summer. The speculation grew after both Reese and Duren posted photos from similar locations on social media, leading fans to believe they were vacationing together.
Angel Reese previously dated Florida State basketball player Cam’Ron Fletcher, but the two broke up shortly before she began her WNBA career. Despite the rumors, Reese has maintained that she prefers to keep her relationships private and focus on her basketball career.

Another high-profile rumor linked Reese to Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant, after she was spotted sitting courtside next to him at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Reese later addressed the speculation on her podcast, stating that she was simply attending the game and that Durant had been her favorite player since childhood.
Angel Reese Stuns In Style at Met Gala 2025
Angel Reese stunned at the 2025 Met Gala, embracing a vintage glam aesthetic with a striking Thom Browne ensemble.
Her outfit featured a black cropped blazer, which subtly revealed her toned midriff, further accentuated by a corset-style waist. The structured tailoring of the blazer complemented the event’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which celebrated the history of Black dandism. Reese paired the blazer with a high-waisted long skirt, which cascaded into a dramatic train, adding an element of elegance and sophistication.

Her glam makeup look included a deep burgundy lip, which contrasted beautifully with her sleek bob hairstyle. Reese accessorized with bold rings and sparkling earrings, further enhancing her old-Hollywood-inspired appearance.

Over at X, fans praised her look and showed admiration for her style, particularly with her hair, which was something she had never done before.
One fan said: “I just love this look. It gives off the Josephine Baker vibes. Angel didn’t come to play. She knew the assignment. She is a fashionista. Beautiful young lady.”
