WNBA star Paige Bueckers finally confirms the identity of her girlfriend

WNBA star Paige Bueckers has finally put fans out of their misery and revealed the identity of her long-time rumored girlfriend.

Fans have been speculating over Buecker's relationship status for months, after a trail of social media breadcrumbs led them to believe that she was dating former UConn teammate Azzi Fudd. 

The pair had been spotted publicly together on a number of occasions and now the Dallas Wings star has confirmed that Fudd is in fact her long-time rumored girlfriend.

During an interview with WAG Talk - ahead of the WNBA's All-Star weekend - Bueckers was quizzed on Fudd and their relationship. 

The first questioned asked was: 'With your life on the line, who are you letting take a last second shot to save it?'. Bueckers said: 'I'm picking Azzi Fudd'. 

Then interview then moved on to a segment she described as: 'How well do you know your D1 girlfriend?'

Bueckers was quizzed on where Fudd attended high school, what year she was named Gatorade Player of the Year and when she made her first collegiate start.

Finally, she was asked: 'What does her phone case say on it?' Bueckers smiled before answering: 'It says 'Paige Buecker's girlfriend'. 

The interview then said: 'Girlfriend reveal! It's...' Bueckers replied: 'Azzi Fudd'.  

Fans have long speculated that the close friends - who spent four seasons playing together for the Huskies - were romantically involved.

Last month, Fudd gave the strongest indication yet that the basketball players are indeed an item, as she showed off an extremely telling phone case.

Fudd posted a mirror selfie of her getting her hair styled, and fans realized that her phone case read: 'paige bueckers' girlfriend.' 

Fudd is smiling wide in the Instagram story, though no other explicit mention to Bueckers is made in the post.

The pair previously 'hard launched' their relationship in the eyes of some fans after Fudd posted a TikTok of her getting the 'princess treatment' with Bueckers in May.

In the short clip, Fudd can be seen mouthing the words, 'How much was it?' after being treated to a $200 meal.

Bueckers jokingly crossed her arms in dismay when Fudd said 'that's not bad', after learning the price of the meal.

And Fudd captioned the clip: 'Princess treatment every time I’m with her #spoiled.'
