AMES, IOWA (WISH) — Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton announced on Instagram that he got engaged to his girlfriend, Jade Jones.
He proposed at Hilton Coliseum at Iowa State University, where he played college basketball.
“The place where our story started, and where our next chapter begins,” Haliburton wrote on his Instagram post.
Haliburton and Jones met at Iowa State, where he played basketball and she was a cheerleader.
Haliburton helped lead the Pacers to the NBA Finals in 2025, the franchise’s first appearance in the Finals since 2000.
He tore his right Achilles tendon in Game 7 of the series. Pacers president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard confirmed that Haliburton will not be playing in the 2025-26 season.
While he has been recovering from the injury, Haliburton has still been present. He went to Pacers Summer League practices, supporting the younger players in the organization.
He has also been present at other sporting events in Indianapolis. Haliburton went to the WNBA All-Star Game and has been to Indiana Fever games as well.
