Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has reiterated her stance on keeping her personal relationships private. During a candid conversation with Mikey Williams, a Class of 2023 four-star basketball recruit and social media influencer, on her podcast ‘Unapologetically Angel,’ Reese emphasized her commitment to privacy.
After confirming that Williams was single and available, the second-year WNBA star stated, “I just posted today on Twitter, being in this limelight.
“You’ve been in public relationships before. I would never post my relationship ever for social media. People are too invested in your relationship. They try to follow you and stuff.”
Fans recently analyzed a tweet from Reese about her views on dinner dates. Although she didn’t disclose any details about her private life, Reese tweeted, “I love going out to dinner like yes dinner date me every night,” and asked for recommendations for the best dinner spots in Miami.
Over the last year, the Sky celebrity has been entangled in dating rumors with notable figures such as Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren and Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant. Despite Reese’s admiration for Durant as her favorite player, citing their shared Maryland roots, she has persistently dismissed whispers about her personal life.
Reese expressed her exasperation in a pronounced statement to her followers back in November. “Now I see why people hide relationships and keep everything private,” she wrote. “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.”
While some supporters praised her discretion, others speculated that Reese might be fueling the rumor mill by continually addressing the very topic she aims to sidestep. However, Reese remains unfazed, channeling her attention towards spearheading the upcoming Unrivaled Basketball league launching in January.
Despite her choice to keep her romantic engagements out of the public eye, Reese once divulged to Shaquille O’Neal the traits she values in a potential partner, emphasizing her independence. “I’m not looking for a man. I’m looking just for happiness in life. A high-caliber man,” she said.

“A smart, nice, and genuine man. But he cannot be a house husband,” she declared. Her criteria include a sense of risk and desirability in a mate: “I like danger. I want people to think my man is attractive, yes. He’s got to be a strong, confident man.”
