Angel Reese is rounding out 2025 with a fresh face and a fresh relationship status. The two-time WNBA All-Star—who wrapped up her second season with the Chicago Sky in September—debuted a makeup-free frame to her 5.2 million Instagram followers over the weekend, with a caption that naturally piqued our curiosity.

“rebranding & yes, i got both,” Reese penned alongside a 12-slide carousel to the app. A selfie of the one-time SI Swimsuit model, who joined the fold in 2023, was featured on its cover slide. The caption, on the other hand, seemed to reference the post’s fifth frame, which read, “ion post my boo or my money just know i got both 😂.”

In Reese’s collage, the multifaceted athlete and model showcased a few snapshots of her recent adventures beyond the basketball court. In one image, she highlighted an all-black ensemble and long blonde bob, which she wore to the CFDA Fashion Awards on Nov. 3. In another, she shared a behind the scenes snap of her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show appearance from Oct. 15.

“The WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think it pays one of my bills, literally,” Reese declared to Instagram live in October 2024, per ESPN. At the time, she had just concluded her rookie season in the professional league.

In a 2023 report from On3, Reese’s NIL valuation was an estimated $1.3 million before she was even drafted to the Chicago Sky. Two years later, she made just under $75,000 ($74,909, to be exact) in her sophomore WNBA season, per Spotrac. However, her partnerships have continued to soar, with just some 2025 accolades including a signature shoe with Reebok and feature film debut in A House of Dynamite.

As for her love life, Reese has been linked to fellow professional basketball player Wendell Carter Jr. for the majority of the year. In May, the 26-year-old Orlando Magic center attended Reese’s birthday party. In July, he pulled up to Indianapolis to cheer on Reese during her second WNBA All-Star Appearance—and even repped a picture of the Bayou Barbie on his shirt while in attendance.

That same month, while warming up for an away matchup against the Washington Mystics, Reese gave a subtle nod to Carter Jr. while sporting his initials on her necklace.

Since the NBA regular season commenced on Oct. 21, Reese has also embraced her own WAG era. In the carousel, she showcased a bomber jacket and snapback—each exhibiting the Orlando franchise’s logo—which she paired with light washed ripped denim jeans and Chanel sunnies.
