WNBA star Angel Reese has never been one to shy away from sharing her life, especially when it comes to her close-knit family. But during a light-hearted chat on her podcast Unapologetically Angel, with rapper GloRilla as her guest, Reese made a slip that had everyone chuckling—and left the audience with more questions than answers about the sibling age gap between Angel and her brother Julian Reese, who plays college ball at the University of Maryland. The kicker? She was off by two months, but hey, who’s counting, right?
Sibling Showdown: Who’s Really Older?
The Chicago Sky rookie has always been competitive, especially with her brother Julian, and the playful sibling rivalry naturally made its way into the conversation. The vibe between Angel and GloRilla was effortless, as they talked about the usual sibling banter, but things took a funny turn when the topic of age differences came up. GloRilla, clearly interested in the dynamics, innocently asked, “So, who’s older?”
Angel, with the confidence of a seasoned pro, proudly declared, “I’ve only got him by 11 months.”
The plot twist? She wasn’t just wrong; she was hilariously wrong. Cue GloRilla’s immediate response: “How does that even happen?” To which Angel replied with a shrug and a smirk, “Ask my mom.”
But the story didn’t end there. Not one to let an oops moment linger, Angel later hopped on X (formerly known as Twitter) to correct herself. In a tweet dripping with humor, she admitted, “Ok, me and my brother are actually 13 months apart. I was wrong, but 13 months is still crazy lmaooo.”
Momma Reese to the Rescue?
Naturally, everyone wanted to know: who was it that pointed out Angel’s minor miscalculation? Was it her mom calling in with a friendly “By the way, you’re wrong”? Or maybe it was Julian, possibly basking in the glory of being slightly closer in age than Angel originally let on? Either way, the Reese family drama—ahem, love—is clearly alive and well, with Angel laughing it off like a pro.
Julian Reese’s Two-Month Grace Period
Now let’s be honest: being off by two months in a sibling rivalry? That’s basically a technical foul in the family handbook. Julian, who’s tearing it up at the University of Maryland as a senior, probably couldn’t wait to cash in on this one. Two whole months is a big deal when it comes to sibling bragging rights. Imagine the banter over Thanksgiving dinner this year!
Even though Angel was off by a bit, it’s the perfect reminder that family comes with its own brand of fun. Sure, Angel might block shots and dominate on the court, but when it comes to the battle of sibling facts, she’s taking the L—this time at least.
What’s Next for Angel?
Between her podcast, WNBA duties, and these candid moments, Angel Reese has been a whirlwind of energy. Whether she’s on the court battling opponents or off the court correcting her age gap blunder, she’s winning in more ways than one.
But let’s not forget, Angel’s slip-up is just another reason we love her. Who else can turn a small mistake into an iconic moment of charm, humor, and personality? Now we just have to wait for the next episode of Unapologetically Angel to see what kind of chaos she stirs up next—and if she’s planning a rematch with Julian over who’s really the best.
And, as for GloRilla, we’re sure she walked away from that episode with plenty of laughs—and maybe a little confusion about how 11 months turned into 13. But hey, who’s keeping track when the vibes are this good?
