Angel Reese and Detroit Pistons player Jalen Duren have recently ignited dating rumors on social media, following their posts of vacation photos that appear to be from the same location. On July 30, 2024, the 20-year-old NBA star, Jalen Duren, shared a video on his Instagram Story showcasing a sunset from what seemed to be a picturesque location. The scenery in Duren’s post featured a wooden cabana and rocky terrain, elements that matched closely with the backdrop in a similar photo shared by Angel Reese, the 22-year-old WNBA star.
In her Instagram Story, Reese, who plays for the Chicago Sky, was seen enjoying the sun in a pink Gucci monokini complemented by matching pink Chanel shades. The similarities between the vacation spots in both athletes’ posts have led fans to speculate about a possible romantic connection between them. Despite these rumors, neither Reese nor Duren has confirmed or commented on a potential relationship.
Previously, Angel Reese was publicly linked to Cam’Ron Fletcher, a basketball player from Florida State University. In June 2023, Reese confirmed her relationship with Fletcher during an appearance on the 1 Star Recruits Podcast. She revealed that their shared profession and understanding of each other’s schedules helped them bond. “Cam’Ron is my boyfriend, yes,” Reese stated at the time. “We both play the same sport so we understand each other’s schedule. I think that also helps.”
The couple enjoyed a romantic getaway to Jamaica, where they were seen in matching Balenciaga swimsuits and engaged in various activities such as ATV rides and horseback riding. Fletcher had expressed his affection in a comment on Reese’s post from their trip, saying, “Let’s keep making memories together.” However, by March 2024, Reese and Fletcher had ended their relationship. Reese confirmed their split in an Instagram Live session, stating, “Yeah, I’m single. I don’t got no man. Don’t attach me to no man. That’s all I’mma say. That’s it.” She also emphasized her focus on her career and personal growth, saying, “I am single, but I’m not ready to mingle. I’m just focusing on my college career. I’m focusing on school and I’m focused on me.”
For now, the speculation about Angel Reese and Jalen Duren remains just that—speculation. As of now, there has been no official confirmation or denial regarding their relationship status.
