WNBA rookie Angel Reese recently dropped the first episode of her new podcast, “Unapologetically Angel.”
During the show, where she spoke about her rivalry with Caitlin Clark, the Rookie of the Year award, and rumors with the LSU Tigers, Reese also dropped some insight on what her dating life looks like.
The 22-year-old has grown to be one of the biggest stars in the basketball scene, on and off the court. She has over eight million combined followers on social media, including Instagram, TikTok, and X.
Reese thinks her stardom makes it really hard for her to date and puts a lot of pressure on the person she would be dating.
She explained that it’s difficult to deal with their private relationship while adding fans that want to be involved in her everyday life.
“I think for, like, a dating life, a dating life is really hard for me,” Reese said. “Just because I think I put a lot of pressure on the other person because whenever I’m dating somebody, I go through their comments. All I see is GIFs of Angel Reese, Angel Reese, Angel Reese. I looked at somebody I was talking to, and all I saw was..I’m like, ‘oh, my God. I know this man hate me already.'”

Reese said that dating her and being involved in her life is “not for the weak.” She believes people will receive death threats and say crazy things to her boyfriend, but Reese wants them to know that she will never embarrass them. She thinks that communication is a major key to being in a relationship with her since many fans will be involved.
“And that’s why I try to tell the guy usually ahead of time, like, ‘know what you’re getting yourself into,” Reese continued. “Because this is not for the weak. People are going to send you death threats. People are going to say crazy things. Just know I will never embarrass you. I’m going to always respect you. You can always come to me as a woman and just ask me questions about certain things.”
While she believes it’s going to be hard to find someone who can handle the pressure of dating someone with millions of followers, she thinks one day she’ll find her “king.”
Reese even mentioned that her mother believes it’s going to be tough for a man to be with the 22-year-old, largely due to the outside noise. “But dating me is hard,” Reese added. “And my mom always said ‘any man that dates you, it’s tough. It’s hard.’ But one day I’ll find my king.”
