The revelation sparked an outpouring of excitement and support on social media, with commenters expressing their joy over the couple’s relationship and Fudd’s open display of affection for Bueckers.
As Fudd prepares for her final season at UConn, where she is expected to play a crucial role in defending their title, Bueckers continues to make a name for herself in the WNBA. In her rookie season, she is averaging 18 points per game, with a standout performance of 35 points against the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup.
