Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers<\/strong> has broken her silence on her relationship with teammate Azzi Fudd<\/strong> \u2014 and she won\u2019t be taking any more questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuite frankly, I believe me and Azzi\u2019s personal relationship is nobody\u2019s business but our own,\u201d Bueckers, 24, told reporters in a press conference on Monday, April 27. \u201cAnd what we choose to share is completely up to us. As media members, I understand you guys have a job to do and you guys have to ask questions about the basketball aspect of it. So that\u2019s what I will be addressing today.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \ufe00\ufe00\u201dMe and Azzi have always been the utmost professional \u2026 We\u2019ve never let anything that happens off the court carry onto the court, and that\u2019s what we\u2019ll continue to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

After years of speculation, Bueckers admitted last summer that she and her former UConn teammate were indeed in a relationship. But with Bueckers in the WNBA and Fudd, 23, still with the Huskies at the time, the two had not appeared publicly together in months.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSue Bird and Megan Rapinoe\u2019s split wasn\u2019t the easiest call to predict. In the weeks leading up to the couple\u2019s breakup announcement, both Bird, 45, and Rapinoe, 40, showed little to no signs that there was trouble in paradise. On April 8, Rapinoe shared a joint Instagram post with her content studio, A Touch More, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When the Wings drafted Fudd No. 1 overall in the 2026 WNBA Draft earlier this month, questions on the state of their relationship reignited. A reporter asked Fudd directly about the nature of their relationship during her introductory press conference on April 16, but a Wings PR representative stepped in.<\/p>\n

\ufe00\ufe00\u201cI understand why you have to ask that question. But we are going to respectfully decline on commenting on a player\u2019s personal life,\u201d the rep said.<\/p>\n

Bueckers and Fudd\u2019s silence regarding their relationship has come with some controversy as fans and media alike have debated whether the public has the right to know if they are dating. The lines are blurred more by the pair being teammates where their relationship can, reasonably, affect what is happening on the court.<\/p>\n

Though Fudd was the No. 1 pick, she was not the clear-cut choice for the Wings. Some speculated that the team selected her to appease Bueckers, their star player.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tNikki Garcia is sharing a candid update on her dating life as rumors swirl about her connection to Philadelphia Eagles star Cooper DeJean. \u201cIt\u2019s crazy because I actually haven\u2019t been touched or done anything in so long,\u201d Nikki, 42, told sister Brie Garcia on the Thursday, December 18, episode of SiriusXM\u2019s The Nikki & Brie [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\ufe00\ufe00\ufe00\ufe00\u201dAzzi Fudd was the No. 1 draft pick because she earned it, and it had nothing to do with me and everything to do with who she is as a human being, who she is as a basketball player,\u201d Bueckers said. \u201cHer resilience, her strength and her career last year at UConn. Azzi is her own great individual person and she should be celebrated as such.\u201d<\/p>\n
