But after Angel Reese hinted at something brewing with Paige Bueckers\u00a0during her TikTok Live weeks ago, a beloved candy-and-cookie giant now appears to be quietly building toward a major announcement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px;color:#3e3e3e\" class=\"new-heading_headline-text__HmpNk\">Watch What\u2019s Trending Now!<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">\u201cMe and Paige actually have something really big coming up together. Stay tuned!\u201d Reese said in her live back in October.<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">And now, with fans wondering for over a month what this could mean, we might finally have the answer. The Reese\u2019s, a candy brand worth $3.1B, owned by The Hershey Company, recently teased a collaboration with Oreo and dropped a <a class=\"dom-traversal_es-hyperlink-new__QGEoc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRvBL0EAQ5s\/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cryptic post<\/a> on its official Instagram page that hints at a partnership between two major WNBA stars, Reese and Paige Bueckers.<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">On their page, Reese\u2019s updated their bio to say, \u201cThe official Instagram Paige of Reese.\u201d And in another post, the brand teased the collab by writing, \u201cTheir numbers may be 5, but together, this duo\u2019s a solid 10\u2026 coming soon \ud83d\udc40.\u201d Since both Reese and Bueckers wear No. 5 and \u2018page\u2019 is spelled as \u2018paige\u2019 in their bio, it didn\u2019t take long for people to connect the dots.<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Back in mid-2025, Reese\u2019s and Oreo dropped two new mash-up products that instantly had fans talking. First came the Reese\u2019s Oreo Cup, a twist on the classic peanut-butter cup, and then came its partner in crime, the Oreo Reese\u2019s Cookie.<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">While there has been no official news yet, this wouldn\u2019t be the first time Angel Reese and Reese\u2019s are doing a collab.<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Back in 2024\u201325, the company rolled out a fan-driven apparel line built entirely around the rising WNBA star and her \u201cReese\u2019s Pieces\u201d fanbase. The collection blended Angel\u2019s on-court identity with the candy\u2019s iconic orange-and-brown branding and dropped custom logos, jerseys, streetwear drops, and even a crown-inspired Reese\u2019s Cup motif that played off her \u201cQueen\u201d nickname.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=essentiallysports.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"google-news-banner_description__LfT1E\">Read Top Stories First From EssentiallySports<\/p>\n<p class=\"google-news-banner_clickText__FXmC9\">Click here and check box next to EssentiallySports <\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">\u201cThe fans really made this happen,\u201d Angel Reese said in <a class=\"dom-traversal_es-hyperlink-new__QGEoc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehersheycompany.com\/en_us\/home\/newsroom\/press-release\/2024-08-21-You-Asked,-We-Delivered-Reeses-and-All-Star-Angel-Reese-Team-Up-for-a-Fan-Requested-Merch-Collection.html#:~:text=It%20features%20three%20exclusive%20drops,in%20both%20white%20and%20cream.?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">an interview<\/a> back in August. \u201cThis collection is for my Reese\u2019s Pieces \u2013 who\u2019ve been with me every step of the way, and the design elements bring together things that I love -basketball, style, and of course, Reese\u2019s!\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">On the other hand, Paige Bueckers has her own history with Oreo. Earlier in the year, she appeared in a lighthearted Oreo Cakesters campaign alongside her partner and former UConn teammate Azzi Fudd. The ad leaned into their playful chemistry by trading jokes, shooting around, and matching the nostalgic, fun-first energy Oreo markets to its younger fans.<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">With the ongoing CBA negotiations, this news couldn\u2019t have arrived at a better time. The league and the players\u2019 union recently agreed to a six-week extension, now moving the expiration date to reach an agreement to January 9, 2026, after their previous one-month extension expired on November 30.<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">However, either side can end the extension if they feel the discussion is unfair, with a 48-hour notice. While the league has recently <a class=\"dom-traversal_es-hyperlink-new__QGEoc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/wnba-basketball-news-wnba-announces-revenue-sharing-decision-after-stalled-cba-negotiation\/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_2\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">released a new revenue-sharing proposal,<\/a> the numbers have made players more angry than happy. So, even as uncertainty lingers in the offseason, Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers are giving fans something to get excited about.<\/p>\n<p>Angel Reese &amp; Paige Bueckers: An unexpected duo<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">During the All-Star weekend in Indianapolis last season, Bueckers and Reese generated major buzz after photos of them laughing, posing, and joking during Team Collier practice went viral. So, pairing two No. 5s, two rising stars, and two massive personalities has created a level of organic excitement brands dream about.<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">\u201cI\u2019ve known Paige for a long time,\u201d Reese said over All-Star Weekend as per SI. \u201cWe were the No. 1 and No. 2 players in our class, so we\u2019ve been in a relationship for a really long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Another thing that both these players have in common, besides being one of the best players in their college basketball days, is that both of their teams, the Chicago Sky and the Dallas Wings, recorded their worst season in 2025. But that doesn\u2019t say anything about their performance on an individual level, as Reese was regarded as the best rebounder in the league, while Paige Bueckers won Rookie of the Year.<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Are you excited for the Reese\u2019s \u00d7 Oreo \u00d7 Angel Reese \u00d7 Paige Bueckers collab?
