Angel Reese on vacation in Puerto Rico—and maybe in romance mode?

Angel Reese doesn’t need a jersey to make headlines. The Chicago Sky standout, one of the most followed athletes in the WNBA, used the offseason to step away from the court and head somewhere warm. The destination? Puerto Rico. The occasion? An NBA preseason game between the Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics, where Reese was spotted courtside. She was also seen supporting Wendell Carter Jr., the Magic player she’s been linked to romantically for months.

Sports outlets like Athlon Sports reported how Angel Reese shared photos and videos from the game on her social media. One clip showed Carter Jr., scoring from the top of the key. In another image, the forward rocked an animal print outfit and a high braid—proof that her style plays in elite leagues too.

Romance rumors swirl

Beyond the relationship buzz, Angel Reese knows how to build a narrative that goes beyond basketball. At just 23 years old, she averaged 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds (the league’s best), 3.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game in her second season. Her impact on the court is undeniable, but her presence off it is just as influential. Since her LSU days, Reese has become a symbol of authenticity, charisma, and visibility. That translates into endorsement deals, media attention, and a fan base that keeps growing.

Her appearance at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico wasn’t random. Carter Jr., who helped the Magic beat the Celtics 126–118 in that matchup, has been seen with Angel Reese at other events—like UFC 319 in Chicago. While neither has officially confirmed the relationship, both seem comfortable with the spotlight they attract.

A well-earned break

While Chicago Sky works on its strategy for next season, Angel Reese and the rumors around her keep circulating. The athlete is taking a breather, but even on vacation, she remains a headline.

Angel Reese isn’t competing this week, but she’s still winning. And she’s doing it with style, with presence, and with a storyline that doesn’t need confirmation to keep drawing attention.
