Does Paige Bueckers have siblings? Know more about UConn star's family
UConn star Paige Bueckers does not have biological siblings, but she is the sister of three half-siblings: Drew, Ryan and Lauren. Her parents parted ways when she was three years old, and they went on to have children with different partners.
Bueckers, a 6-foot guard for the Huskies, has been dubbed the new face of women's college basketball. She has been excellent for UConn on the court, leading the team to two Final Four and one national championship appearances.
As Bueckers embarks on her final college basketball season, let's have a look at her family.
Paige Bueckers' siblings
Paige Bueckers has two half-brothers, Drew and Ryan, and a half-sister named Lauren. Her parents divorced when she was young, so she is their only child together and does not have any biological siblings.
Both her parents later remarried and had kids with their new partners. Paige's brother Drew is from her dad Bob's side, while her other brother Ryan and sister Lauren are from her mother Amy's side.
Bueckers was raised by her father in Minnesota, so she has a close bond with Bob and Drew. They often show up to cheer for Paige during her games.
Bueckers has also uploaded several photos where she's having fun with her little brother, Drew. In July, she shared a picture of the two of them practicing together at the Bullis Bulldogs' gym in Potomac.
In August, they went for archery training after she got interested in the sport from watching the Paris Olympics. Besides, the two have made countless TikTok videos where they show off their dance moves.
Paige Bueckers' parents
Paige Bueckers was born to Bob Bueckers and Amy Fuller (née Dettbarn). After their separation, she lived with her dad, while her mom moved to Billings, Montana.
Bob is a software engineer, currently working in Clarksburg, Maryland, per CT Insider. Previously, he worked as a consultant for Target and Pearson. Bob often sends text messages to his daughter before her games to wish her good luck.
"For better or for worse, she keeps a lot of that stuff internalized," Bob said about Paige. "So I have to kind of pry it out of her and be like ... 'Do you want to talk about it?' But she keeps a lot of those things to herself, which, like I said, for better or for worse."
On the other hand, Paige Bueckers' mother, Amy, is a former track and field college athlete. She graduated with her master’s degree in periodontics and is currently working as an equipment specialist in Montana, per People.
