Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese has had a busy Wednesday morning.

Earlier today, Reese announced that she's collaborating with Reese's Candy for a limited edition "Angel Reese x Reese’s Pieces Logo Collection," which is available exclusively on her website.

Since that announcement, Reese has been all over social media, replying to various comments about her many off-court business moves.

And two specific comments have caught fans' attention, as Reese seems to be alluding to a new romantic relationship with them.

X user Vanshay Murdock reposted a comment that Reese left on former Sky teammate Kysre Gondrezick's Instagram post on Wednesday that wrote, “we love our J’s," along with a blushing shushing face emoji and an exasperated emoji.

One "J" Reese is surely referencing is Gondrezick's NBA Champion boyfriend Jaylen Brown, whose face is featured in one of Gondrezick's photos.

And fans are speculating that Reese's second "J" she's alluding to is Jalen Duren, a forward for the Detroit Pistons who Reese has been linked to in the past.

That isn't the only relationship-centric comment Reese made on Wednesday. She also responded to an X post writing, "Every city hates to see us! And my man hates to you cause you always in my businesssssss," with two laughing-crying emojis.

The Chicago Sky rookie has been notoriously tight-lipped when it comes to her dating rumors. But fans started speculating when The Shade Room made a July 30 Instagram post that showed Reese and Duran each making Instagram stories that appeared to be shared from the same beach location.

Duren averaged 11.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists with the Pistons in 2023-24.

Perhaps Reese fans will get firm confirmation that the two dominant forwards are coupled up shortly.
