Angel Reese was one of the stars of the Atlanta Dream’s victory over the Golden State Valkyries in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals. The Georgia team won 97-71 on Wednesday, October 21, taking a 2-1 lead in the championship series.
Reese contributed 21 points to the win, but another moment during the game also caught people’s attention. Amid the excitement of the Finals, the basketball star received a marriage proposal.

Angel Reese turns down marriage proposal and offers fan another option
The TikTok content creator known as @tikibeen1 showed up to the game wearing a suit and tie and carrying a huge sign addressed to Reese. His message got straight to the point: “Angel Will You Marry Me?”
The proposal turned the fan into the center of a scene that soon began circulating on social media. The video eventually reached Angel Reese, who left a comment that gave the story an unexpected twist.
“Not in this lifetime but i have some fine friendsssss,” she wrote.
With that response, Reese turned down the proposal without losing her sense of humor, even offering the hopeful admirer an alternative.
What happened to Angel Reese’s boyfriend, Wendell Carter Jr.?
Reese’s response also sparked interest in her love life, particularly one question: Is she still in a relationship with Wendell Carter Jr., a center for the NBA’s Orlando Magic?
Based on the information publicly available, the two have been linked romantically, although they have chosen to keep much of their relationship private rather than constantly putting it in the spotlight.
Beyond the attention surrounding this moment, Reese and her teammates are preparing for Game 4 of the Finals against the Golden State Valkyries, scheduled for Saturday, October 24, at 7 p.m. ET.
A win would give Atlanta a 3-1 lead in the series and put the team just one victory away from claiming the WNBA championship.
