Get ready to witness a collaboration that’s not just big—it’s bigger than big. WNBA superstars Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers have joined forces off the court in a way that’s as sweet as it is groundbreaking. Their first-ever partnership with Oreo and Reese’s has birthed two mouthwatering creations: the REESE'S OREO® Cup and the OREO® REESE'S Cookie. But here’s where it gets even more exciting: this isn’t just about snacks; it’s about two icons uniting to give fans exactly what they’ve been craving—both on and off the court.
For Angel, this collaboration felt like destiny. In an exclusive interview with iHeartRadio, she shared, ‘I’ve been a Reese’s girl for such a long time,’ pointing out the almost inevitable connection between her last name and the brand. Adding Paige to the mix? A no-brainer. ‘Everybody loves me and Paige together,’ Angel noted. ‘So why not bring us back together to create something great and amazing that the people love?’
Paige couldn’t agree more. ‘The timing couldn’t have been more right,’ she said, reflecting on their viral All-Star weekend reunion and the fan demand for both a Reese’s-Oreo combo and more moments between the two stars. ‘To give the people what they want and do it with such iconic brands… it was just a lot of fun,’ she added. When asked to describe the collab in a song, Paige instantly replied, ‘Bigger than big.’ And it’s hard to argue—Reese’s, Oreo, Angel, Paige? It’s a match made in heaven.
But this partnership isn’t just about the spotlight. For Paige, one of the highlights has been getting to know Angel beyond the court. ‘We were always competing against each other,’ Paige explained, ‘but just getting to know her off the court… being able to talk about anything, going through the same lifestyle—we can relate a lot.’ Their shared history is deep, from being the top two players out of high school to now leading a new era of women’s basketball. Angel summed it up perfectly: ‘Healthy competition is always great. We’re gonna talk trash on the court, but it’s all cool off the court.’
And this is the part most people miss: at the core of their bond are shared values—faith, family, and gratitude. For Angel, success is deeply personal. ‘Taking care of my family is the most important thing,’ she reflected, crediting both the good and bad days for shaping her journey. Paige echoed this sentiment, emphasizing her role as a big sister and the desire to be a role model her siblings can look up to. ‘One of the best days of my life was when I became a big sister,’ she shared.
Their authenticity is what fans connect with—a genuine love for the game and each other that transcends brands and accolades. As they put it, their journey is ‘bigger than big.’ But here’s the controversial question: Can their off-court chemistry translate into even greater success on the court? And does their collaboration set a new standard for athlete partnerships? Let us know what you think in the comments—this is a conversation you won’t want to miss!
