NBA star Tyrese Haliburton may have missed out on a championship ring in June, but he scored the ultimate victory in July by proposing to his longtime girlfriend, Jade Jones. The romantic proposal took place inside Hilton Coliseum, the iconic home of Iowa State Cyclones sports, where the couple first met back in 2019 while attending the university together. Despite Haliburton's recent Achilles injury during the 2025 NBA Finals, he went above and beyond to pop the question, with a heartfelt setup including a "Will you marry me" sign and a trail of rose petals.
The love story between Haliburton and Jones is a tale of college sweethearts turned NBA power couple, with Jones being a former cheerleader at Iowa State while Haliburton honed his basketball skills on the court. Their relationship blossomed over the years, culminating in a magical proposal that showcased Haliburton's resilience and commitment both on and off the basketball court. NBA fans and romantics alike can celebrate this heartwarming moment for the couple as they embark on the next chapter of their lives together, filled with love, support, and hopefully a future championship ring to add to their collection.
