WNBA star Angel Reese continues to prove that her success goes far beyond the basketball court.
The Chicago Sky forward delivered an unforgettable surprise for her mother, Angel Reese Sr., by paying off her mortgage as a special birthday present.
The emotional moment unfolded on the latest episode of Reese’s “Unapologetically Angel” podcast, where she revealed the life-changing news to her mother.
As she presented a birthday cake, Reese told her: “Your mortgage today has been paid. You don’t have to worry about it anymore.”
Reese’s mother, initially in disbelief, responded with shock and gratitude. As her daughter led a heartfelt rendition of “Happy Birthday,” she struggled to hold back tears.
A Lifelong Goal Fulfilled
For Reese, this gesture was deeply personal.
“That was my biggest goal in life,” she said. “To retire you and to pay your mortgage.”
The touching exchange underscored the hard work and dedication that have propelled Reese into superstardom, both as an elite athlete and a rising business mogul. In addition to her on-court success, Reese recently secured a historic partnership with McDonald’s, becoming the first female athlete to land a national meal deal with the fast-food giant.
A Year of Major Wins
Reese, known for her fearless attitude and relentless ambition, continues to dominate in both sports and business. Alongside her WNBA career, she has secured major endorsement deals, proving she’s more than just a basketball star—she’s a brand of her own.
Fans can catch Reese in action this Friday, Jan. 31, when her team, Rose BC, faces off against the Phantoms BC.
