Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd have confirmed they are no longer a couple. The Dallas Wings and former UConn women's basketball teammates shared the headline-making news on the Fudd Around and Find Out podcast, revealing they split more than a year ago.
Paige and Azzi Confirm Breakup Ahead of 2026 WNBA Draft
As Fudd began making the announcement, both WNBA stars laughed it off.
Bueckers said the two broke up over a year ago, going on to play a full WNBA season as platonic teammates. She also pushed back on talk that their relationship influenced Dallas selecting Fudd No. 1 overall at the 2026 WNBA Draft.
“She was drafted because she deserved it,” Bueckers confirmd.
The UConn women’s basketball stars won a national title together in 2025 before going public with their romantic relationship later that year. In Friday's episode, they assured they remain friends and focused professionals.
Bueckers condemned the online hate aimed at them, their teammates, and their families, calling their relationship “a season in life” and asking fans to stop overanalyzing their lives. For her part, Fudd added that the pair have addressed what they needed to on Fudd Around and Find Out. Meanwhile, the rest stays private.
How the Paige and Azzi Breakup Impacts the Dallas Wings
On the court, little changes.
2025 Rookie of the Year Bueckers earned All-WNBA Second Team honors, while Fudd made the All-Rookie Team despite exiting the Wings' 2026 campaign early with a season-ending knee surgery.
The two helped Dallas set a franchise record with 27 wins under new coach Jose Fernandez, before a winner-take-all first-round playoff loss to eventual champion Golden State.
