Draft Night Kiss 💋
Let’s run it backkkkk… – Angel Reese
So Hailey Van Lith got drafted to the Chicago Sky (No. 11 overall in the 2025 WNBA Draft), and yes, I already care too much. The league is growing, the talent is here, and more importantly, we now have another basketball couple to hyperfixate on.
I don’t know what it is about NBA/WNBA couples, but they always feel a little more exciting. Maybe it’s the mutual understanding of travel schedules and knee surgeries. Maybe it’s just the shared shoe closet?
I like to think these couples are the same shoe size.

Draft Night, but Make It Romantic
Hailey walked that orange carpet looking stunning and then casually made out with her NBA boyfriend after getting picked. The moment was caught from like three angles (thank you to whoever edited that in under ten minutes). Suggs, who’s currently recovering from knee surgery, looked proud to be Hailey Van Lith’s boyfriend.

Also, Angel Reese tweeted, “Let’s run it backkkkk,” because in case you forgot, she and Van Lith were teammates at LSU for a season. They didn’t win the championship, but now they’re reuniting on the Sky, and respectfully, I will be seated.

WNBA Draft Breakdown
The top of the 2025 WNBA Draft went about how everyone expected:
- Paige Bueckers to the Dallas Wings.
- Dominique Malonga to the Seattle Storm.
- Sonia Citron to the Mystics.
No surprises in the WNBA news last night; it was all vibes. Van Lith went 11th, which honestly feels like a steal. She’s 5’7” (Hailey Van Lith’s height, for those wondering), has reached the Elite Eight with three different schools, and is the type to talk trash during board games. Suggs even said so. Direct quote: “I feel bad for the girls that actually gotta play against her.”

Are They the Best Sports Couple?
No. That title still belongs to A’ja Wilson and Bam Adebayo (don’t lie to yourself). But Hailey Van Lith and Jalen Suggs are definitely giving the people something to talk about. I’ll be following the WNBA rumors for all of us.
Let the new Sky era begin.
