UConn Huskies’ Azzi Fudd stunned in a lilac gown on the 2025 ESPYs red carpet.

The Huskies guard’s looks did not go unnoticed as her girlfriend, Paige Bueckers, shared her thoughts on Fudd’s look on her Instagram story.

The Dallas Wings rookie reposted the snapshot of Fudd and added three “hot” emojis signaling her approval of her girlfriend’s look for the night.

Bueckers was absent from last night’s festivities, which honor professional athletes for their work on and off the court. However, Bueckers’ excuse for missing the award show was justified as the Wings had a game against the Las Vegas Aces that night.

Videos of the couple went viral on TikTok, where eagle-eyed fans noticed that the two were constantly together and coordinating outfits. Fans began to suggest that the two were more than just former teammates. Bueckers, who was drafted first overall in the 2025 WNBA Draft, was selected by the Wings after formerly playing for the Huskies alongside Fudd.

The couple met at the USA Basketball camp in 2017 and were able to consummate a lasting friendship.

Fudd went viral last month after she posted a photo confirming fans’ suspicions of the nature of their relationship. She shared a photo of herself looking in the mirror as her phone case read, “Paige Bueckers’ girlfriend.”
