The WNBA offseason is bringing out new flavors. While a few stars are working on their skills and playing in the other leagues, Arike Ogunbowale showed her coaching capabilities, leading the Nigerian side to victory. As for Angel Reese, she chose her dream, acting and modelling.
The player received huge praise from her WNBA circle for her ramp walk at Victoria’s Secret event, and then acted in a movie. Her on and off-court success is certainly making her mother proud, who didn’t hold back praising her daughter for her latest gig.

The former LSU star shares a close bond with her mother and even paid off her loans with her first season in the league. Though the player complained about the WNABA salary, her huge income source is her off-court activities.

Angel Reese Has Deep Connection With Netflix Series
Early in the 2025 season, when the star had a short break due to injury, she completed the first season of ‘The Hunting Wives’. But she didn’t like the ending of the series, publicly calling the cliffhanger finale “unsatisfying” and demanding to know if there’d be a Season 2.
In her post, she wrote, “Sooooo will there be a season 2 or more episodes for The Hunting Wives because I’m not satisfied with how that ended.”

The makers not only took the advice but also the opportunity to bag the enthusiastic actress in the series. Now she’s stepping into the drama herself for the steamy series, starring Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman. The series is about the scandalous lives, secrets, and betrayals of a wealthy group of women in a small Texas town.
