Travis Hunter's wife and Angel Reese are developing a good camaraderie. Reese started September on a "right" note. She posted on Instagram saying, “Let me start your month off right 😉,” showing off a fresh jet-black curly hairstyle and a no-makeup look.

Leanna Lenee, Hunter's wife, showed love to Reese's Instagram post, dropping three heart-eyes emojis in the comments.

This happened four days before the WNBA star's double suspension.

Her first suspension occurred for Friday's game against the Indiana Fever after she received her eighth technical foul of the season to draw an automatic one-game suspension from the league. She hit Aaliyah Edwards in the head while fighting for position under the basket.

Reese's team, the Chicago Sky, benched her for the first half of Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Aces. She made strong comments in a Chicago Tribune interview:

“We have to get good players. We have to get great players. That’s non-negotiable for me. If things don’t pan out, I might have to move in a different direction and do what’s best for me.”

Even with the drama, Reese is balling out, averaging 14.7 points, a league-leading 12.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. Plus, she is a two-time All-Star.

This happened two days before Leanna gave birth to her baby boy. She and Travis shared their journey in a touching YouTube video called “Dear Son….”
