WNBA star Angel Reese isn’t just a powerhouse on the basketball court—she’s also candid about her dating life. On the latest episode of her podcast, Unapologetically Angel, the 22-year-old Chicago Sky forward shared some unique rules for potential suitors during a lively conversation with Grammy-winning singer Coco Jones.
No “Too Cute” Men Allowed
Reese made it clear that one of her top criteria is avoiding men who are overly concerned with their looks.
“I like a man that’s not too cute,” Reese said, adding a humorous twist. “You can’t be too cute for me. You shouldn’t be taking the selfie before me.”
She elaborated further: “Why are you taking longer than me? I should be teaching you skincare.”
Reese’s lighthearted comments reflect her desire for someone grounded and confident without being overly preoccupied with their appearance.
Athletes Only, Please
This isn’t the first time Reese has opened up about her dating preferences. Back in September, she told WNBA legend Maya Moore during an earlier episode of Unapologetically Angel that she prefers dating athletes due to her demanding schedule.
“Being with someone who understands my lifestyle is important,” Reese explained. “It’s hard to find that balance when someone isn’t in a similar field.”
Reese also revealed that her love language is “probably quality time,” emphasizing the importance of meaningful moments amidst her busy career.
Advice from Coco Jones
During the recent episode, Jones, the singer behind the hit single ICU, offered Reese some sage advice about staying open-minded while dating.
“You never know what someone can bring to the table until you give them a chance,” Jones said, encouraging Reese to consider stepping outside her comfort zone.
A Balancing Act
As one of the WNBA’s brightest young stars, Reese is juggling the demands of her professional basketball career, growing media presence, and personal life. Her candid remarks about relationships have resonated with fans, offering a glimpse into her personality beyond the game.
Reese’s mix of humor and honesty, coupled with her unapologetic approach to life, continues to make her a standout both on and off the court.
Whether discussing basketball or her dating rules, she’s not afraid to set high standards—and stick to them.
