WNBA fans have been coming up with many theories following Kate Martin and Paige Bueckers’ stint together on Breeze BC for the second season of the Unrivaled League.
Bueckers and Martin’s latest social media interaction has only fueled more speculation from fans. Bueckers shared multiple photographs to Instagram on Friday, highlighting her time with Breeze BC this season. Martin commented on the post, leading to mixed reactions from fans.
“Wifey,” Martin wrote.
Dominique Malonga also left a comment under Bueckers’ post, referring to the WNBA star as “Dad.” Fans on X added context, suggesting that all the name-calling between the players has led to a “complicated family tree.”
One fan also shared a graphic of the “complex” family tree in question; the image featured Kate Martin, Paige Bueckers, Dominique Malonga, Rickea Jackson, Cameron Brink, Saniya Rivers, Azzi Fudd and others.
Bueckers and Martin helped Breeze BC to a fifth-place finish this season, leading the team to a 6-8 record. Bueckers led the charge, averaging 22.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. The Dallas Wings drafted her with the No. 1 pick in 2025, and she won the Rookie of the Year award, recording 19.2 ppg, 3.9 rpg and 5.4 apg.
Martin recorded 6.0 ppg and 3.2 rpg in Unrivaled. She spent the 2025 WNBA season with the Golden State Valkyries, averaging 6.2 ppg and 2.7 rpg.
A closer look at Paige Bueckers’ actual family tree
Fans on X have been raving about the WNBA’s “complicated” family tree, involving Paige Bueckers and Kate Martin, but not many are aware of Bueckers’ actual family. The star guard was born to Bob Bueckers and Amy Fuller in October 2001.
The Dallas Wings star has three siblings, brothers Drew and Ryan, and a sister, Lauren. Bueckers’ dad works as a software engineer. Her mom, meanwhile, was a track and field athlete at the University of St. Thomas and works as an equipment specialist at a dental practice.
Bueckers’ siblings are much younger than she is and have been kept out of the public eye amid her climb to stardom.
