Who Are Paige Bueckers’ Siblings? A Deep Dive Into Her Family Story
The UConn star was born to Bob Bueckers and Amy Fuller, who split when she was three years old. After the divorce, she stayed in Minnesota with her father, who remarried and had another son, Drew. Paige’s mom moved to Montana, where she remarried and had two more kids — her brother Ryan and sister Lauren.
In Minnesota, Bob and Drew attended all of Paige’s high school basketball games, and Bob, a software developer and former consultant, is incredibly proud of everything she’s achieved.
Bob was a point guard in high school and coached Paige when she was young, according to People.
“It has been surreal, but I think if she continues to stay true to herself, there are no boundaries for where she can go,” Bob told CT Insider in January 2022.
“Obviously, health plays a big part in that as an athlete. But even if she wasn’t an athlete, if she stays true to herself, which I believe she is doing and is really engrained in her entire personality, she’s going to be an agent of change,” Bob continued.
According to CT Insider, Bob moved with his family to Clarksburg, Maryland, and is still a software engineer.
Meanwhile, Amy knows all about student-athlete life, running cross country and track and field at the University of St. Thomas, according to People. She attended the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry and graduated in 2008 with a master’s in periodontics. She is currently an equipment specialist at Patterson Dental in Montana.

In an interview with Ballislife, Amy praised her daughter, calling her confident and good at setting boundaries.
Paige’s siblings are still young and mostly out of the private eye, but all three came to her senior night in February 2024. She has been vocal in advocating for Black Lives Matter, emphasizing her desire for change for Drew, who is biracial.
“At what point do they stop looking at my little brother as a cute little boy and instead as a threat to society? It scares me,” Paige wrote in an August 2020 Instagram post. “I’m going to work for change little brother. I want you to grow up in world that accepts you for who you are.”
