Guys, if you ever entertained the thought of dating WNBA superstar rookie Angel Reese, it’s probably time to reconsider those dreams. Not that it was ever a realistic scenario, but Reese recently set the bar sky-high—literally—when she revealed the specific qualities she’s looking for in her next boyfriend during the latest episode of her podcast.
“He’s gotta be tall,” Reese stated confidently to her cohosts. “Like 6’7″ or 6’8″.”
At this point, some might still have felt they had a chance, especially if height was the only criterion. But Reese wasn’t done setting the parameters.
She continued, saying her next partner also needs to be an NBA player. Unfortunately, this disqualifies a lot of hopefuls.
The podcast conversation also threw a wrench in the widespread speculation that Reese might have been dating Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren. Rumors about the two had circulated after Reese and Duren shared Instagram stories that appeared to be from the same location on the same day, July 30.

Further intrigue arose when Reese tweeted on August 5 that she “had a man,” leading fans to believe she was still involved with Duren. However, based on her recent comments, it seems something may have changed since then.
Whether it was just a summer fling or something more casual, Reese’s declaration on her podcast leaves Duren in the rearview mirror—or so it seems.
Yet, the plot thickens. Weir also uncovered that Reese commented on an Instagram post by former Chicago Sky guard Kysre Gondrezick, who is currently dating Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown. Under a post celebrating Brown’s birthday, Reese left the comment, “We love our J’s,” sparking further speculation about her relationship status.
So, is Reese still in a relationship, or is she subtly dropping hints about a new romance? While nothing is confirmed, it’s possible that Reese’s comments are part of a slow rollout of a more public relationship reveal.
Regardless of the status, Reese’s announcement has undoubtedly sent NBA forwards and centers scrambling to get in touch with her through their agents, hoping to meet her high standards.
As one of the WNBA’s brightest new stars, Reese’s personal life has become just as much a topic of conversation as her dominant presence on the court.
