‘Unapologetically Angel’ has become the ultimate haven for fans and critics of Angel Reese. From WNBA controversies to juicy tidbits about her love life and unapologetically bold opinions, Reese never shies away from telling it like it is. Recently, she spilled the tea on her ultimate relationship deal-breaker. And let us tell you, if you think you’ll get a second chance after crossing her, think again. Because, well, the Chi-Town Barbie shows no mercy. When it’s over, it’s over.
During a chat with her guest Pretty Vee, Angel didn’t hold back on what would be the “deal-breaker,” making her call it quits in a relationship. “I’m not going for that. It’s gone,” Reese said. Then, when asked if she’d ever taken someone back after they cheated, Reese doubled down.
“I’ve never, no, I’ve never taken somebody back from cheating. I just don’t think I have it,” she said. “Because then it’s like…I think I got to get my back, and then it’s on for both of us. How can I trust you again? If you do it again, then I look like a fool.”

So, all in all, once she’s done, she’s done. No regrets. No turning back. She’s made it clear on her podcast that she’s not the type to put up with disloyalty—and it shows. Since her last confirmed relationship ended, there’s been no news of reconciliation or a ‘maybe we’re working it out.’ For Angel, what’s in the rearview stays there.
In June 2023, Reese confirmed she was dating then-Florida State Seminoles star Cam’Ron Fletcher. Fans were thrilled, and many thought they’d be a power couple for the ages. But by March, Reese’s Instagram Live made it clear: she was back to being single. What happened? Long-distance and career pressures were heavily speculated to have driven a wedge.
Reese’s packed schedule as an LSU Lady Tiger and Fletcher’s injury-plagued season seemed to have affected the relationship. Later, the forward reflected on the chaos of a public breakup. “Now I see why people hide relationships & keep everything private,” she tweeted. “Like I don’t think I’ll ever openly share that part of my life with y’all again until I’m married ’cause y’all do THE MOST!”
Since then, Reese has stuck to her vow of keeping her personal life private (not her relationship status & type, though). But her fans (and the rumor mill) are always looking for any breadcrumbs about her relationship status.
Angel Reese’s NBA dream boyfriend, has she found him already?
Just because the WNBA star is single doesn’t mean she’s not open about what she’s looking for. On her “Unapologetically Angel” podcast, Reese spilled on her dream boyfriend. And he’s gotta be tall. “He gotta be tall,” she said. “6’7”, 6’8”… Yeah, NBA.” Standing at 6’3” herself, Reese made it clear that her guy needs to be taller.

And lately, fans can’t help but link her to Detroit Pistons big man Jalen Duren. Back in July, eagle-eyed internet sleuths noticed similarities in their vacation posts and speculated they were spending time together. For what it’s worth, Duren is 6’10”—taller than Reese’s minimum requirement—and, well, he’s in the NBA.

Coincidence? Maybe. But if there’s anything to these rumors, Reese is staying mum. After all, she’s already made it clear she won’t be sharing her love life until she’s walking down the aisle. So, there you have it. And if she’s keeping things private, we’ll just have to keep guessing, piecing it all together through social media clues and podcast nuggets.
