Jon Scheyer and Marcelle Provencial: Celebrating Nearly Eight Years of Marriage
As of April 28, 2025, Jon Scheyer, the head coach of the Duke Blue Devils, and his wife, Marcelle Provencial, are celebrating nearly eight years of marriage—a milestone marked by love, growth, and shared dreams.
The couple’s journey began in North Carolina, where fate placed them on different but parallel paths. Jon was a standout basketball star at Duke University, building a career that would later see him leading the very program he once played for. Meanwhile, Marcelle was pursuing her nursing degree at the University of North Carolina, just a short distance away. Despite attending rival schools, their connection transcended any sports rivalry.
After several years of dating, Jon proposed to Marcelle in August 2015. Their engagement was celebrated quietly, far from the public spotlight that often follows college basketball legends. For Jon and Marcelle, their bond was about more than fame or public appearances—it was about a genuine partnership built on mutual respect, shared values, and unwavering support.
On May 6, 2017, Jon and Marcelle exchanged vows in a private ceremony held in Chicago, Illinois. Surrounded by close friends, family, and a few of Jon’s former Duke teammates, the wedding was a reflection of their close-knit, down-to-earth relationship. It wasn’t a flashy celebrity event; it was a heartfelt celebration of two lives coming together, rooted in love and friendship.
Since tying the knot, Jon and Marcelle have built a beautiful family. They are proud parents to three children: Noa Marie, born in January 2018; Jett James, born in August 2019; and James Russell, born in May 2022. Balancing the demands of a high-profile coaching career with family life isn’t easy, but Jon often credits Marcelle’s steady presence and support as key to his success, both on and off the court.
Throughout Jon’s rise from player to associate head coach and then head coach at Duke, Marcelle has remained his rock. She’s been by his side through the pressures of NCAA tournaments, recruiting seasons, and the challenges that come with leading one of college basketball’s most storied programs. Her background in healthcare, combined with her natural compassion, has made her a vital source of strength and perspective for their family.
Despite his busy schedule, Jon often speaks about the importance of keeping family at the center of his life. Friends and colleagues note that no matter how intense the season becomes, Jon makes time for his wife and children, embracing a balance that many in the world of competitive sports find difficult to achieve.
As they approach their eighth wedding anniversary on May 6, 2025, Jon and Marcelle continue to embody a partnership built on trust, perseverance, and unconditional love. Their story is a reminder that even amidst the fast-paced, high-stakes world of college athletics, genuine, lasting love is still the greatest victory of all.
