Amid the silence from UConn's Azzi Fudd on the birthday of Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers, a WNBA analyst shut down breakup rumors. Bueckers celebrated her 24th birthday last week, and fans speculated that she had broken up with Fudd. The main reason is Fudd's silence on social media and not posting anything for the star guard's birthday.

On Instagram, the latest post from Fudd was an advertisement with Madison Reed. Before that, the last time she posted on the social media platform was on Sept. 27. On X, her last activity was on Sept. 17.

Because of her inactivity, rumors started to spread among fans that couple had broken up. However, WNBA analyst Trysta Krick questioned the rumors after the couple was seen together for UConn's Ring Night last week.

"At that time (UConn's media day), (asking if there was a breakup) wasn't ridiculous," Krick said in a podcast posted on Instagram on Wednesday. "We actually wanted to know from a news perspective: Have they broken up? That changes everything in terms of the WNBA draft.
"To me, (Bueckers' participation on the scout team during practice) just showed me that there's no world that they truly broke up. Because how absolutely devastating would it be if you just went through a breakup and now all through training camp and preseason and noncon(ference play), she basically just lives at UConn now."

The breakup rumors also calmed down after Bueckers and Fudd were seen together dining at the Hell's Kitchen restaurant.

In July, Paige Buckers confirmed that she is in a relationship with her former college teammate.

There had been speculation from fans about their relationship, starting from when both players would wear each other's jerseys and shirts. Additionally, one of Fudd's Instagram stories gave fans a major hint. In June, the future WNBA star posted a mirror selfie, and fans saw "Paige Bueckers' Girlfriend" written on her phone case.

Scandal writer Zahir McGee will be one of the producers of the project. In addition to sharing her acting chops, the Wings star will also be an executive producer for the film.

"Set in the world of women’s basketball, the film follows two phenoms who forge an extraordinary bond as teammates until fame, competition and the ruthless business of college athletics threaten to turn their friendship into an epic rivalry," Kroll wrote.
