Angel Reese opens up about what she’s looking for in a new boyfriend

Short kings need not apply. 

Angel Reese is looking for love, but the WNBA star has a few specific requirements for her next beau, she revealed on the latest episode of her “Unapologetically Angel” podcast.

The 22-year-old women’s basketball star was hosting rapper Latto and singer Mariah the Scientist on her show Thursday when the trio delved into the topic of Reese’s type of man. 

The Chicago Sky forward had publicly revealed in March that she had spit with now-ex-boyfriend and Florida State guard Cam’Ron Fletcher and that she was single. 

Reese, who is 6-foot-3, said during the third episode of her podcast that her next man had to be 6-foot-7 or 6-foot-8 and that she wanted him to be an NBA player.

Mariah the Scientist said she’d work through her connections to get Reese a list of options. 

“I don’t know too many of them. I’m going to make a call,” she told Reese. “I’m going to make a call and I’m going to have them make a call. And then I’m going to get you a little selection.”

Reese had been in a relationship with Fletcher — publicly — since June 2023 before it ended sometime before the WNBA draft in April. 

Over the summer, rumors had swirled about Reese seeing Pistons center Jalen Duren, who is listed at 6-foot-10. 

Reese also addressed what she looked for in a partner earlier in September on her podcast when she described her love language as “quality time.” 

“That’s hard too because I kind of only, well, I only mess with athletes,” she said about the challenge of finding time to spend with another athlete she’d potentially date. 

Reese had her WNBA rookie season come to an abrupt end when she injured her wrist during a win over the Sparks earlier this month. 

The LSU alum averaged 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game in her first pro season.
