Title: “BREAKING: Tyrese Haliburton Puts a Ring on It 💍❤️ — NBA Star Engaged to Longtime Girlfriend Jade Jones”
In a moment that’s melted hearts across social media and sent waves of celebration through Pacers Nation, Tyrese Haliburton, the All-Star point guard and rising face of the Indiana Pacers, is officially off the market. The 25-year-old NBA star proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Jade Jones, in a stunning lakeside ceremony—and she said yes.
The news broke late Thursday night after Haliburton posted a series of photos to Instagram with the caption:
> “She’s been my rock since before the league. Now she’s my forever. 💍❤️ #JonesToHaliburton”
The final image in the carousel? A close-up of Jade’s hand, showing off a flawless emerald-cut diamond ring, with Tyrese grinning beside her, holding a bouquet of white roses. The post instantly racked up over a million likes within the first hour, with fellow NBA players, celebrities, and fans flooding the comments in celebration.
NBA teammate Bennedict Mathurin commented, “Finally, bro!! Happy for y’all 🔥🔥🔥”, while NBA legend Dwyane Wade added, “One ring down, now go get the other one 👏💍🏆.”
According to sources close to the couple, the proposal took place at a private lake house retreat in northern Indiana, where Haliburton had arranged a candlelit dinner under a custom-made pergola draped in ivy and string lights. A live jazz quartet played as the sun set over the water. Tyrese reportedly got down on one knee as their favorite song—Daniel Caesar’s “Best Part”—played softly in the background.
It’s a love story that’s quietly inspired fans for years. Jade, a former college athlete and now a wellness entrepreneur, has been by Haliburton’s side since his Iowa State days. Through draft night nerves, relocation to Indiana, his rise to All-Star status, and even through USA Basketball commitments, Jade has been a constant presence—not just as a partner, but as a grounding force in Tyrese’s life.
> “She was there when the cameras weren’t,” Tyrese once said in a 2023 interview. “She’s seen the bad games, the injuries, the doubts—and never wavered. That’s more valuable than any stat line.”
The engagement adds yet another high point to what’s already been a breakout year for Haliburton. After leading the Pacers to their deepest playoff run in over a decade, and securing a spot on the All-NBA Third Team, Tyrese has quickly become one of the most beloved stars in the league—not just for his court vision and passing genius, but for his humility and authenticity off the court.
The NBA’s official account posted a congratulatory message:
> “A different kind of assist. Congrats to Tyrese and Jade! 💍❤️ #NBAFamily”
As for what’s next, insiders say the couple is planning a private destination wedding in 2026, after the next NBA season. Haliburton, ever the showman, joked in a video post, “One ring down. Now let’s chase the one in June.”
For now, fans and friends alike are soaking in the joy of two people clearly made for each other—and in a league dominated by stats and headlines, this story is a reminder that some of life’s biggest wins happen off the court.
Congratulations, Tyrese and Jade! 💍❤️
