Tyrese Haliburton didn’t get a ton of playing time during the 2024 Olympics, but at least he can call himself a gold medalist.
Haliburton poked fun at his role with Team USA over the weekend, sharing a selfie on social media along with this caption: “When you ain’t do nun on the group project and still get an A.”
Even though Haliburton spent most of his time on the bench, his longtime girlfriend, Jade Jones, was very proud of him. The former college cheerleader shared a plethora of photos from their time in Paris on Instagram.
“From dreams to reality!! You did it, my GOLD medalist,” she wrote. “I am so beyond proud of you!!! We’re just getting started.”
Haliburton clearly loved having his girlfriend by his side for the Olympics. He replied, “Let’s make a lifetime of more celebrations.”
Shortly after Haliburton and Jones celebrated Team USA’s victory over France, they hopped on a flight to St. Tropez. The latter posed for photos in a stunning pink dress.
Jones, who has over 35,000 followers on Instagram, met Haliburton at Iowa State. It’s safe to say their relationship has developed quite nicely since then.
Over the past few months, Jones has been traveling around the world to show her support for Haliburton. The All-Star guard has enjoyed a ton of individual and team success this year. In addition to winning a gold medal at the Olympics, he took the Indiana Pacers to the Eastern Conference finals.
