As for the mother-daughter relationship, it’s stronger than ever. The player did a grand gesture for her mother in her first season in the league.
Angel Reese Paid Off Her Mother’s Mortgage
The 22-year-old recently had her mother on as a guest on her “Unapologetically Angel” podcast. As a birthday surprise for her mom, Reese revealed that she had paid off her mom’s mortgage.
“You said if your mortage was paid off that you would retire. So your mortgage today has been paid. That was my biggest goal in life, to retire you and to pay your mortgage. Obviously, you’re a hardworking woman, you don’t need me for no money,” Reese said in the video.
The Chicago Sky forward’s mother was brought to tears by the gesture, which Reese said has always been her dream.
