Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd are setting the record straight. On Friday’s episode of the“Fudd Around and Find Out”podcast, the two Dallas Wings guards announced they are no longer a couple, and revealed the split actually happened more than a year ago, before Fudd was drafted in April. The two laughed through the moment and made clear they remain friends and teammates.
Bueckers, 25, also addressed a rumor that has followed Fudd, 23, since draft night, saying Fudd wasn’t drafted because she was her girlfriend, she was drafted because she deserved it. The couple originally confirmed their relationship in July 2025 during a red carpet interview with WAG Talk, which is why the timeline has fans buzzing.
The message from both: they’re good, they’re professionals, and they’d appreciate fewer comments about their personal lives. What do you think, should fans back off when athletes ask for privacy?
