Wendell Carter Jr. Says He and Angel Reese Are 'Locked In' on Run It Back

Following months of public sightings with social posts fueling rumors, his on-air remarks now function as a de facto confirmation.

Overview

  • The Orlando Magic forward referred to Reese as "my girl" and said they are "locked in" after first calling her "the homie."
  • The exchange came during a Run It Back interview as hosts Michelle Beadle and Lou Williams pressed him on the rumor.
  • Carter added that fans will "find out" in due time, signaling more clarity to come without offering a detailed timeline.
  • The acknowledgment follows months of speculation tied to sightings, an Angel Reese T-shirt, courtside photos, Orlando gear posts, a reposted Carter dunk, and a "boo" collage.
  • Context: Reese led the WNBA in rebounds at 12.6 per game in 2025, while Carter has opened the NBA season averaging 12.4 points and 7.4 rebounds for Orlando.
