According to The Guardian, Dallas Wings teammates Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd have confirmed that they ended their romantic relationship more than a year ago. The Guardian reported that the pair, described in its summary as the Wings' star backcourt tandem, rejected suggestions that their relationship influenced a team decision.
The Guardian's sport desk published the account under a headline that quotes the pair with the phrase "We’re still cool" and says they reject WNBA draft speculation. The outlet's full report was published on November 6, 2026.
The Guardian's summary states that the suggestion concerned the team's decision to select a player, but the excerpt breaks off at that point. The material available for this story therefore does not identify the selection, the player involved, or the full context of the claims the pair rejected.
The Guardian also reported that Bueckers and Fudd decried hostile messages sent to their friends and family. The summary does not say who sent the messages, how many were sent, or where they appeared.
Only one outlet's report was available for this story, so no second account of the confirmation can be compared with The Guardian's. Any further detail about the relationship, the draft, or the messages would need to come from the complete reporting.
