As the WNBA offseason is underway, Angel Reese has remained a prominent figure, refusing to shy away from the spotlight. The Chicago Sky forward has been a fixture on the sidelines of numerous NBA games, including the Orlando Magic’s match against the Boston Celtics, where she crossed paths with Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr.
The Brazilian winger shared a photo with the Chicago Sky forward on his Instagram profile, alongside other images from his Miami trip. Reese commented on the post with two heart emojis, sparking a flurry of conversation among fans on social media.
“This crossover omggg,” “Like Angel please do an episode on your podcast with Vini if possible,” “Look at 2 of my favs,” and countless other similar comments flooded X (formerly Twitter), with one post featuring the photo garnering over 1.7K reposts and 40K likes. Meanwhile, the original post on Instagram has over 2.5 million likes.
Vinicius Jr., the recent recipient of the FIFA The Best Award, is currently in the United States while the Spanish league is on hiatus. The Real Madrid star also shared photos from a trip to New York with Rihanna.
