Tyrese Haliburton and Jade Jones met at Iowa State – he played basketball and she was a cheerleader – and have been dating since college.

Tyrese Haliburton proposes to longtime girlfriend Jade Jones after a romantic proposal at Iowa State Hilton Coliseum where their love story began. See the photos.

Haliburton, 25, led the Pacers to the NBA Finals this past season, though he tore his Achilles in Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder and will miss the entire 2025-26 campaign. He was one of several star players to suffer that injury in recent months, with Jayson Tatum and Damian Lillard among them.
