Let us go back to 2012 when the police in the city of Mildura, Victoria (Australia) had to issue a warning. Apple’s iOS 6 service had incorrectly listed Mildura as being in the middle of Murray Sunset National Park. This left several motorists stranded in the Australian Outback. They were left in the middle of nowhere—3,000 square miles of Australian bush that had poisonous snakes and insects. They had very little water or mobile reception and some of them were helpless for 24 hours.

Angel Reese has been making waves since her time at LSU, not only for her impressive performances but also for the strong personal brand she’s built. The Chicago star is known for speaking out on important issues, even launching her own podcast in September to create a platform for her voice. Recently, however, she brought attention back to an old message while staying quiet about a new drama surrounding her.

The Sky forward re-shared a tweet she posted back in April, which simply said, “protect young women in sports!!!” While the message was brief, Reese’s decision to bring it up again after eight months leaves many wondering what prompted her to resurface this statement now.

A role model for young girls, Reese’s message seems to coincide with internet personality Charleston White’s offensive remark about her during his appearance on Jeff Teague’s podcast. The Chicago Sky star, however, has been silent on the instance so far.

However, the ‘Chi-Town Barbie’ has consistently shown her support for empowering young girls in the past. Earlier in an exclusive with People, the 22-year-old shared some great advice for young girls balancing their love for sports and the entertainment industry.

“It’s okay to do both, and know that women don’t have to be put into a box where they have to do one specific thing.” Reese had told People. In fact, she has also mentioned how motivating the younger generation keeps her going, which is why she  started a foundation dedicated to empowerment.

Angel Reese reflects on her responsibility as a role model

During a September practice with the Chicago Sky, Reese opened up about what it’s like to be an inspiration for young girls. She shared how it feels to be in the spotlight and talked about the responsibilities that come with being a role model.

“It gives me an expression to keep going every day. I mean, every day is not gonna be easy but just being able to wake up but somebody is looking at me, somebody is looking at my social media. Like, how can I be here be one day. So, that’s why I try to be as positive as I can all the time and just being there for people. I just remember when I was younger, had people, but not many pros to look up to that I can actually connect with. So, I wanna be that person that they wanna connect a lot too,” Reese had shared.

After winning the NCAA championship with LSU, Reese announced the launch of the Angel C. Reese Foundation. The foundation focuses on empowering girls and women through sports, education, financial literacy, and more. She shared that the goal behind starting her foundation was to create equal opportunities for young women, especially in areas where they’ve often been overlooked.

Her foundation aims to provide equal opportunities for young women and underrepresented groups through various initiatives. These include programs designed to tackle systemic challenges and resources that empower the next generation of girls to thrive in sports and successfully navigate life beyond.

Reese continues to inspire and empower young women, showing how sports, education, and leadership can create a brighter future. However, the reason behind her recent message still remains unclear.

On September 29, Chicago Sky superstar Angel Reese was spotted attending the Baltimore Ravens’ NFL home game against the Buffalo Bills and had a wholesome interaction with one of the Ravens’ best players.

Reigning NFL MVP and Ravens franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson was elite that day, throwing for 156 yards and 2 touchdowns while adding 54 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown in what ended up being a 35-10 win for Baltimore.

Perhaps Reese (who is a Maryland native and appears to be a Ravens fan) was inspired by this fantastic performance from Jackson. Then again, given his comments during an interview with ESSENCE that was released on December 25, it might have been Jackson who was inspired by Reese that day.

When ESSENCE Sports host Sharí Nycole asked Jackson what women’s sports he’s excited about right now, Jackson said, “Basketball, the WNBA”.

He then discussed how he hasn’t always been a women’s basketball fan but has recently become so. Jackson later added, “Now, on a high level, I’m seeing Angel Reese, I’m seeing Caitlin [Clark], I’m seeing all these girls just go crazy now. It’s inspiring. Other girls can grow up and play basketball… they can play basketball, play some sports.”

Jackson then reiterated, “Women’s sports is going crazy right now, and I’m inspired by it.”

It’s cool to hear one of football’s biggest and most successful superstars giving his flowers to Reese, Clark, and the rest of the WNBA in what has been a banner year for the entire sport of women’s basketball.

Wedding on the Books for Angel Reese as Witty 2025 Prediction Leaves WNBA Star Speechless

As the new year approaches and fans turn their attention to the season ahead, Angel Reese is already making waves—not just on the court but in her personal life too. With another high-octane year ahead, Reese has found herself at the intersection of sports and romance, with a stunning prediction taking center stage. And, true to form, it has all the makings of a buzzer-beater moment.

In a recent post on Snapchat, Reese shared a witty moment when a filter predicted, as its very first, that 2025 would be the year of her wedding. The forecast, delivered with the usual flair of social media fun, left the WNBA star utterly speechless.

But as the year draws to a close, one can’t help but wonder if this prediction is a lighthearted jest or something more significant. The timing, in particular, adds an extra layer of intrigue.

Just two weeks before this Snapchat moment, Reese had opened up about love and relationships on her podcast Unapologetically Angel, making the playful prediction seem all the more fitting.

During the episode, Reese sat down with rapper Sexyy Red to discuss their differing views on love and marriage. The conversation kicked off with a simple yet profound question that had been weighing on Reese’s mind “So you ever think you going to get married?”

Sexyy Red, known for her unapologetic and no-nonsense approach to life, didn’t hesitate to voice her skepticism about marriage. “I mean, you can sign a piece of paper and still cheat,” she responded, sharing her jaded view from past experiences.

“I know men that be cheating too. That’s why I ain’t got no hope for it,” she added, revealing her deep mistrust of men’s ability to remain faithful.

As the clock ticks down on 2024, and with the new year just around the corner, Angel Reese is gearing up for what could be a game-changing year—not just on the court, but in her personal life too. While Sexyy Red may have written off love as a losing game, Reese remains steadfast, holding onto the ball of hope, ready to take a shot at true love.

Reese stays hopeful about love as Snapchat filter predicts 2025 wedding

Reese, however, wasn’t so quick to give up on the idea of true love. She firmly believed that despite Red’s reservations, there was still hope for finding a loyal partner. “That’s why you find a good man, good, he’s a good man,” Reese asserted, emphasizing that faith and hope were critical in any relationship.

Back in 2023, Reese opened up about her relationship with a fellow basketball athlete Cam’Ron Fletcher. Many thought the two would last. Alas, the house of cards came down as quickly as it made it to the internet. Although denying any attachment with others, the Sky No. 5 is clearly keeping her hopes up for a future romance.

Even in the face of Red’s disillusionment, Reese held onto her belief that a committed relationship could exist. “You just got to believe and have hope and have faith. Faith is good,” she said, offering a refreshing dose of optimism.

As the conversation progressed, Reese continued to challenge Red’s outlook on relationships, pushing her to explain why she had such little faith in men. “Why you say that?” Reese asked, pressing Red to reveal more about her cynicism.

Red’s frustration was evident, her skepticism about loyalty and commitment clear. But Reese remained steadfast in her hopeful vision of romance. “You’re going to run across your knight in shining armor, and he’s going to take you and lift you off your feet,” she said, painting a picture of a love that transcends Red’s experience.

With this candid discussion on relationships and the playful wedding prediction made by the Snapchat filter, Reese’s year is shaping up to be filled with both on-court and off-court excitement.

Whether the 2025 wedding is a serious reality or just a fun piece of social media humor, one thing is for sure: Angel Reese’s journey will be one to watch closely. With her infectious optimism and unwavering belief in true love, the year ahead promises to be a thrilling ride for both her personal and professional life.
