Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has never been one to shy away from a moment on social media, and her latest antics did not disappoint. The reigning WNBA MVP, A’ja Wilson, took to Instagram on Tuesday to post a picture of herself wearing a hat that read, “put it on my boyfriend’s tab.” Naturally, this fashion statement sent the internet into a frenzy, but it was Reese’s playful reaction that stole the spotlight.
In the comments section of Wilson’s post, Reese wrote, “Sis, where can I find this hat? 😭😍.” The combination of emojis and pure curiosity? Internet gold.
Relationship Rumor Mill Churns Again
While Reese and Wilson have both been linked to NBA stars—Reese to Pistons center Jalen Duren and Wilson to Miami Heat’s Bam Adebayo—neither has publicly confirmed anything beyond friendship and admiration. Of course, that hasn’t stopped fans from playing amateur detective every time these two athletes drop even the vaguest of hints.
Wilson’s rumored beau, Adebayo, recently inked a three-year, $165 million contract extension with the Heat, which makes the idea of putting something “on his tab” both hilarious and oddly fitting. Wilson captioned her post with a cheeky “Check pls,” leaving fans to read between the lines—or invent new ones entirely.
Reese: Single, But Not in a Hurry
As for Reese, she’s been clear about her current relationship status. On a recent episode of her podcast, Unapologetically Angel, she confirmed she’s single and focusing on herself.
“Why am I single?” Reese mused. “Just working on myself. I don’t want to give half. If I’m in a relationship, I’m going to give everything I have.”
A noble sentiment, but that hasn’t stopped fans from shipping her with everyone from Duren to a hypothetical mystery boyfriend who could afford Wilson’s hat slogan.
Wilson and Reese: More Alike Than You Think
Off the court, the two stars’ bond is evident, with Wilson affectionately referring to Reese as “Young A’ja.” During an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Wilson explained how she sees herself in Reese:
“I’ve watched her throughout her collegiate career. … The motor she has, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, that is Young A’ja, 100%.’”
Considering both players dominated the 2024 WNBA season—Wilson as MVP and Reese as Rookie of the Year runner-up—this comparison isn’t just flattery. It’s prophecy.
The Real MVP: A Hat
But back to the hat that started it all. Reese’s comment isn’t just a testament to her sense of humor; it’s a reminder that these athletes, despite their superstar status, know how to keep things lighthearted.
So, where can Reese find the hat? Fans are now waiting to see if Wilson will share a link, gift her one, or perhaps escalate the situation with an even sassier piece of headwear. Either way, one thing is clear: the WNBA may be in its offseason, but these stars are still delivering MVP-level entertainment.
Who needs a boyfriend’s tab when you’ve got this much charisma?
