Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers and former UConn teammate Azzi Fudd have confirmed they quietly split more than a year ago, addressing the long-running rumor directly on a podcast this week. The two had publicly confirmed their relationship in July 2025 before going mostly silent on the subject, fueling months of fan speculation.

Both players have continued to support each other publicly through basketball milestones since the breakup, and neither has suggested any lingering tension. The confirmation puts to rest years of "will they, won't they" chatter from fans who'd tracked the couple's public appearances for clues.
