Dallas Wings teammates Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd have confirmed they are no longer in a relationship. The pair, who played together at UConn and won a national championship in 2025, discussed their status on Fudd's podcast, noting that their romantic split occurred prior to Fudd being selected first overall in the 2026 WNBA Draft.
Bueckers explicitly denied that their past relationship influenced the front office's decision to draft Fudd. Despite the breakup, the two remain teammates and close friends who have already completed a full professional season together.
The announcement has triggered significant fan discourse regarding the team's roster construction and the decision to pass on Minnesota Lynx guard Olivia Miles in the draft.
