WNBA star Angel Reese revealed that there is a secret requirement for the men she dates.
While Chicago Sky standout did not specify how tall one needs to be for her to entertain interest, Reese made it clear that she has not and would not date a ‘short guy.’
Speaking on her Unapologetically Angel podcast, her guest Coco Jones asked the 6-foot-3 forward if she would date a ‘short guy’ before the LSU product shook her head.
‘No. No. I don’t know,’ Reese said. The rebounding machine tried to qualify her response, perhaps leaving the door open to non-towering suitors.
‘I have not [dated guys shorter than me],’ she said. ‘Let me just say I haven’t.’
After slightly retracting, Reese added, ‘I hear short guys treat you better.’

Beyond the fun and flirty conversation about height, Reese touched on a broader issue that resonates with many athletes: the difficulty of maintaining relationships while juggling a demanding career. She explained that her rigorous schedule, constant travel, and public spotlight make it challenging to form deep, lasting connections.
Reese acknowledged that her rising stardom has added complications to her personal life. “Sometimes, people don’t see the real you—they see the persona,” she shared. “It’s tough to find someone who wants to be with you and not the idea of who you are.”
Despite these challenges, Reese remains optimistic about love and joked about keeping her standards high. “I know my worth, and I won’t settle,” she added with a smile.
Reese wrapped up her rookie campaign averaging 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game. Her dominance in the paint made Reese the WNBA leader in rebounds and earned her a spot on the 2024 WNBA All-Rookie Team. While her love life may be a hot topic among fans, her focus remains firmly on the court, where she continues to make waves as one of the league’s brightest stars.
