82 Days After Her “Vulnerable” Message to Bucks, Jrue Holiday’s Wife Opens Up About New Life in Boston: “Kids Are So Resilient”

Jrue Holiday’s trade from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Boston Celtics affected the entire Holiday family. His wife and a former Olympic gold medalist, Lauren poured her heart out back in July and was vulnerable talking about the challenges of unexpected trades on athlete’s families. Leaving Milwaukee, where they’d built a life and a community, was tough. Well, fast forward 82 days, and guess what? The Holidays are thriving in Beantown!

The Holiday family has found the silver lining in their new home, with the organization and teammates making the move comfortable for them and the children adapting well to their new environment.

The family has seamlessly transitioned to Boston

Sure, it wasn’t all candy canes and carols at first. But as Lauren recently shared in an interview, those kids barely missed a beat. They were knocking on neighbors’ doors the minute they found out they had kids the same age. They’re loving their new school, and Jrue? Well, he’s fitting in like a champ with the new team.

“Kids are so resilient,” Lauren said. “They didn’t miss a beat. My daughter knocked on our neighbors’ doors when she found out they had kids the same age as her. They love the school that they’re going to. For Jrue, it is taking a little bit of time to find his role and feel comfortable completely to add value to a team that is so successful.”

She further added, “I’m probably last in line. But the organization has made it super easy. And the guys have made it easy for Jrue. Same with the women in the staff for me.” So yeah, she might be at the bottom of the pecking order when it comes to settling in, but the Celtics women have been her rock, helping her navigate the ins and outs of Boston life.
