Recently on the internet, there were rumors linking college basketball sensation Angel Reese with NBA star Ja Morant, particularly after a video surfaced showing the two dancing. This video was captioned with a message congratulating Morant on Reese’s alleged ‘yes’ response to a romantic proposal. However, a closer look at the facts reveals a different story.
The video in question dates back to April 2023, during the Lady Tigers’ championship parade in Baton Rouge. Reese and Morant were seen dancing and laughing to NBA YoungBoy’s song, “Fresh Prince of Utah” in the video, which featured the lyrics, “Issa parade inside my city.” Even if the video shows chemistry between them, it seems like this is just two famous athletes sharing a happy occasion.

To further debunk the claim, it’s important to note that Ja Morant, who has yet to make an appearance on the court this season, is only confirmed to be friends with Angel Reese. Also, Reese confirmed in June of this year that she is dating Cam’Ron Fletcher. The so-called ‘news’ of their dating appears to be an internet stunt, with no real proof.
Angel Reese is currently in a relationship with Cam’Ron Fletcher
Angel Reese is actually in a committed relationship with fellow college basketball player Cam’Ron Fletcher. The couple, who are both highly praised on their respective college basketball teams, confirmed their relationship publicly in June 2023.
Reese, a 6-foot-3 forward, has been a key player for LSU, leading them to their first national title in 2023 with outstanding averages of 23.0 points, 15.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game in her sophomore year. Whereas, Fletcher, a 6-foot-7 wing who transferred from Kentucky to Florida State, had shown potential before an unfortunate injury.

Their relationship started six years ago through their passion for basketball, and their bond got stronger during the pandemic. They have been open about their relationship and often share details of their lives on various social media platforms, including TikTok and Instagram. Their posts often show them working out, dancing, and enjoying each other’s company.
Both Reese and Fletcher are looking ahead to the 2023-24 season, intending to lead their teams to win the NCAA tournament. They also share the unique opportunity to enter the 2024 NBA and WNBA drafts, potentially making them one of the few couples to reach professional leagues in basketball.
