Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton and Jade Jones have tied the knot.
The couple wed at the Indianapolis Marriage License Office on Tuesday ahead of their ceremony, which is scheduled for Aug. 1. Jones posted pictures of the moment Tuesday on Instagram, including photos and their small group of witnesses at the courthouse.
“It’s (courthouse) official,” Jones wrote in the caption.
Jones donned a white minidress and matching heels and held a white bouquet, while Haliburton wore an all-black casual ensemble.
Friends, family and fans took to the comment section to share their joy over the occasion.
Jordyn Woods, who is engaged to Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns, commented, “Yayyyy one step closer” with a white heart.
Haliburton and Jones have been together since 2019, when they were both students at Iowa State. Haliburton played basketball for the Cyclones and Jones was on the cheer team. The two-time NBA All-Star popped the question on campus in July 2025.
The celebratory occasion comes just weeks after Jones’ close friends, Makenzi Kern, 26, died during the bachelorette trip to St. Barths on June 8.
No official cause of death has been made public, but Kern’s obituary states she died of “health complications” on the trip.
Jones paid tribute to her friend, who was also a cheerleader at Iowa State, with an Instagram post acknowledging the loss just over a week after the tragedy.
“I am forever grateful that I got to love someone as truly special as Kenzi, and to have been loved back by her,” Jones wrote. “Kenz was truly a light in this world, and that light will continue to shine in everyone who was lucky enough to know her. I love you forever until the end of time Kenzi.”
Haliburton is preparing to return to the Pacers after he suffered a torn right Achilles in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, which caused him to miss the entire 2025-26 season while recovering.
In his absence, the Pacers went 19-63 this past season.
