WNBA and Unrivaled basketball player Angel Reese may have given her mother the best birthday gift ever when she announced she would be paying off her mortgage.
On a recent episode of her podcast, Unapologetically Angel, Reese hosted her mother, Angel Webb Reese, for Webb’s birthday. The WNBA player gave her mother a cake and some surprising news that made her mother get emotional.
“Well, it’s your birthday today,” Reese told her mother — as someone off-camera handed her mother a small birthday cake.

As the basketball player informed her mother of the gift, Webb nearly dropped the birthday cake she held in her hands. As she was shocked by her daughter’s declaration, Reese told her that she can still work if she wants to, but she won’t have to work to pay off the mortgage anymore.
“Today your mortgage has been paid, you ain’t got to worry about your mortgage no more and if you want to work still and keep yourself, if you want to keep yourself busy, you can keep yourself busy,” Reese said.
She then told her mother that she will be purchasing a house this year and she can stay with her for as long as she wants.
And when I move to Chicago — I’m getting a house, y’all — you can come stay with me whenever you want to.”
Maybe Reese could pay off her mother’s house because her deal with McDonald’s was just announced.
Reese became the first female athlete to get her own special meal at McDonald’s.
“The Angel Reese Special” will be available starting on Feb. 10. The limited-time meal will be a BBQ Bacon Quarter Pounder with cheese, medium fries, and a medium drink of choice.
