Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers count themselves as two of the best players in the recent history of UConn women's basketball.

They're also incredibly close, a bond that goes back before Fudd even enrolled at Connecticut.

But there fans have always wanted to know: Is there a romantic relationship here?

Fudd just provided the biggest hint yet.

In a photo posted on her Instagram story, Fudd showed off a new phone case. It features three words: Paige Bueckers' girlfriend.

Fudd is either launching the relationship publicly, or she's leaning into the speculation as a way to keep fans guessing.

Regardless of their relationship status, Bueckers and Fudd delivered what UConn fans as a whole wanted most of all this past season: a return to the top of the country.

The guards were both tremendous in the NCAA Tournament en route to a national title.

Bueckers was the No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft to Dallas, while Fudd is back in school for one more year. Together, they are Huskies legends.
