Online speculations have been circulating recently that NBA player Ja Morant and collegiate basketball prodigy Angel Reese are in a relationship, especially when a video of the two dancing appeared online
A message congratulating Morant on Reese’s purported “yes” answer to a romantic proposal was written as the caption for this video. But a closer examination of the data paints a different picture.

The footage in question was captured in April 2023 in Baton Rouge during the Lady Tigers’ title parade. In the video, Reese and Morant could be seen laughing and dancing to the song “Fresh Prince of Utah” by NBA YoungBoy, which included the line “Issa parade inside my city.” Even though there is a connection between them in the video, it still looks like this is just two well-known athletes getting together for a good time.
Currently, Angel Reese and Cam’Ron Fletcher are a couple.
It’s critical to remember that Ja Morant, who hasn’t played this season, is only confirmed to be friends with Angel Reese, which serves to further refute the claim. Furthermore, Reese disclosed her relationship with Cam’Ron Fletcher in June of this year. With no concrete evidence, the alleged news of their relationship seems to be an internet hoax.
In reality, Angel Reese and Cam’Ron Fletcher, a fellow collegiate basketball player, are in a serious relationship. In June 2023, the pair—who receive a lot of accolades from their respective collegiate basketball teams—publicly announced their relationship.
Six-foot-3 big Reese has been an integral part of LSU’s success, helping the team win its first national championship in 2023. In her sophomore year, she averaged an incredible 23.0 points, 15.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. On the other hand, before an unlucky injury, 6-foot-7 wing Fletcher, who transferred from Kentucky to Florida State, had demonstrated promise.
Their love of basketball brought them together six years ago, and during the pandemic, their bond grew even closer. They frequently post personal information about their lives on social media sites like Instagram and TikTok, and they have been transparent about their relationship. They frequently upload pictures of themselves dancing, working out, and having fun with one another.
With an eye on 2023–2024, Reese and Fletcher each want to guide their teams to the NCAA tournament championship. They may become one of the only couples to play professional basketball since they both have the rare chance to enter the 2024 NBA and WNBA drafts.
