I think it’s safe to say Angela Rye and Jalen Rose are officially dating.
Angela and Jalen pulled up to WNBA star Brittney Griner’s first home game since she’s been back stateside and they looked very comfy and cozy courtside as the Phoenix Mercury faced off against the Chicago Sky game on May 21.
You may recall that Angela Rye was a huge advocate for Britney Griner’s release from a Russian prison, where she spent nearly 10 months before she was released in a prisoner swap on December 8, 2022, for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.
Brittney was detained in Russia on February 17 after Russian authorities accused her of carrying hashish oil in her luggage at an airport in Moscow.
The Phoenix Mercury set it out for Brittney’s first game back with numerous events and musical performances.
During the game, the camera kept panning the front row showing former NBA star Jalen Rose and Angela Rye courtside.
Angela Rye posted a few pics from the game that got the commenters going, and she responded to some comments without confirming or denying the dating rumors.
