In a few months, Cooper Flagg is expected to be the consensus number 1 NBA draft pick. If that comes true, that would be a huge success in his professional life. That chapter in his professional career is not hidden, but what is hidden is his personal life. The Duke star’s mother recently spoke about her son and about the possibility of him dating. “I think that’s smart. It’s safe to not have any feelings.”

Kelly Flagg spoke to the NY Times and explained that the college journey would only be for one year, so Cooper should stay away from dating. But has the 18-year-old taken that advice?

Is Cooper Flagg dating anyone? What’s the Duke star’s relationship status?

There is no official confirmation that Cooper Flagg is dating anyone. Unlike his twin brother, Ace Flagg, whose personal life is not private. He is currently in a relationship with Lizzy Gruber, who plays at the center position for the Saint Joseph’s Hawks. In the month of October, she shared a carousel Instagram post with the caption, “two years of mailing u love letters💌.”

Ace and Lizzy even have each other’s name in their Instagram bio followed by a heart emoji. He even added a sweet post to celebrate their anniversary in October with the caption “730 days with her❤️.” So, it’s clear Ace is not hiding his relationship, but is his twin brother hiding his?

Who is Cooper Flagg rumored to be dating?

A few reports have paired Cooper Flagg with Wake Forest soccer player Lola Ressler. She committed to the program in March 2023 and won the 2024 Florida Class 3A State Championship.
