Yes, you read that right. Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd longtime best friends and social media regulars were spotted holding hands after a game. Both have shined on the court from a young age and have been close since their teenage years. Their bond runs so deep that Paige even helped recruit Azzi to play with her at UConn during their college days.
Paige Bueckers sparks frenzy with Azzi Fudd sighting
They’ve always seemed inseparable, sparking endless speculation about whether their connection is more than just friendship. While both have denied any romantic involvement, the rumors have only grown stronger especially online, where their ship “Pazzi” has taken on a life of its own. Their glances, chemistry, and off-court moments have fans convinced that there’s something real going on.
Now, a new video is changing everything. After Monday night’s game between the Dallas Wings and the Phoenix Mercury, the two were seen clearly holding hands. But it didn’t stop there later, they posted a photo to their Instagram Stories, where fans quickly noticed a phone case that read: “Paige Bueckers’ Girlfriend.”
So… is it official? Did Pazzi just become canon?
Fans exploded with excitement. Comments flooded social media with messages like: “Paige looks so happy too,” “I can only imagine how long they’ve waited to freely show affection in public like this,” and “They can’t deny it anymore.”
While both have previously insisted they’re “just like sisters,” fans aren’t so sure. Let’s not forget Paige spent quarantine with Azzi’s family, and the two used to post TikToks of themselves cuddled up in bed.
One of the most iconic fan moments came when someone brought a sign to a game that read, “Azzi Fudd girlfriend sign here:” and Paige signed it without hesitation. Was it intentional? Did she even realize what it said? Either way, that moment only fueled the theory that the ship is real.
So far, neither of them has confirmed anything. But what’s undeniable is their growing impact not only as rising stars in women’s sports, but also as role models who are capturing hearts both on and off the court. Even TikToker Shenae, known for covering women’s sports, chimed in: “This is so beautiful. Why am I not a lesbian?”
