Also, I’m pretty sure that at some point they were trolling us.”The pair have been billed as rivals for several years now because their careers somewhat mirror one another.But when speaking on the Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce podcast back in January 2026, Paige seemed to play down talk of any real rivalry.She said: “It’s crazy because everybody’s pinning me and Caitlin against each other for the longest time.“I mean, we’re cool. We’re friends, but again it’s respect of the competition, so we understand that. We understand how media works and how they want to pin two people against each other and they’re supposed to hate each other and blah, blah, blah.”Read more:Reporter reveals if he had any ill intentions during viral Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese friendship doubtAzzi Fudd’s candid response when compared to Olivia Miles amid WNBA Rookie of the Year raceNBA’s stance on Sophie Cunningham’s Adam Silver claim about WNBA Commissioner revealed
