Side note on the Pazzi hard launch
Now that Azzi has hard launched their relationship, I want to get ahead of all the posts claiming "itās one-sided" or that "Azzi is more invested than Paige".
Remember, we are seeing a handful of pictures and videos, not the full story. Azzi has under 500k followers, while Paige has 2.6 million. That makes a huge difference in my opinion. That kind of visibility comes with a whole different level of attention and safety risk.
Azziās audience is smaller and more niche for now, her followers are already aware of her closeness to Paige. And even with that knowledge, she eased into this announcement, leaving just enough ambiguity for people to draw their own conclusions if they wanted to.
But Paige doesnāt have that option. I truly believe that Paige staying quiet doesnāt mean she cares less, it means she is being careful and protective of Azzi. She canāt just "claim" Azzi publicly without bringing the whole internet into it, not only her fans. She is now at the point where she has security with her at public events and I am sure thatās for a good reason. And at the moment, she simply cannot offer that same level of protection to Azzi.
Going too public too fast would put them both in a vulnerable position. By holding back a bit herself, she is protecting what they have from mainstream level, while still letting Azzi have the moment and confirm to our community that they are together and happy.
And yes, before someone says, "Well if Azzi confirmed it, people will find out anyway." Sure if people look it up, but the general public isnāt diving into wlw TikTok edits or podcasts of female athletes.
That said⦠if Paige drops something wild in her next photo dump, Iāll gladly bite my tongue. But after what happened last year, especially with the stalking, I doubt sheās taking any chances.
Finally, Azzi would not be so over the moon if things were not going well between them.
