Fudd, who starred alongside Bueckers at UConn and is projected to be the top pick in the 2026 draft, reposted the All-Star announcement on social media, quietly but clearly showing her support. It’s no secret anymore that the two are dating, though their relationship remained a subject of speculation for years.

Ogwumike, who stars for Seattle, is tied for the third-most All-Star appearances with Tamika Catchings and Brittney Griner. She trails only Sue Bird (13) and Diana Taurasi (11).

Paige Bueckers will play in her first WNBA All-Star Game while Nneka Ogwumike has earned her 10th selection, the league announced Monday as it named the players who will join Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier as All-Star starters.
