Angel Reese sets the bar high for her next boyfriend

In the latest episode of her podcast “Unapologetically Angel,” WNBA star Angel Reese opened up about her quest for a new boyfriend. The 22-year-old basketball sensation hosted rapper Latto and singer Mariah the Scientist, diving into her specific requirements for her next romantic partner.

Following her breakup with former boyfriend Cam’Ron Fletcher, a guard for Florida State, Reese shared that her ideal match must be between 6-foot-7 and 6-foot-8. “I want him to be an NBA player,” she stated, emphasizing her preference for athletes. Mariah the Scientist humorously assured Reese, “I’m going to make a call and I’m going to get you a little selection,” hinting at her willingness to help her friend find love.

Navigating Rumors

Reese’s relationship with Fletcher had been public since June 2023, but it ended before the WNBA draft in April. Recently, there were whispers about her potentially dating Jalen Duren, a 6-foot-10 center for the Detroit Pistons. Despite the speculation, Reese maintains that her heart remains open for the right athlete.

Quality Time Is Key

Earlier in September, Reese discussed her love language on her podcast, stating, “Quality time” is essential for her. She acknowledged the challenge of dating another athlete, explaining, “That’s hard too because I only mess with athletes.” The demand of their schedules can make finding time together a struggle.
