The Indiana Pacers have pleasantly surprised everyone with their stellar start to the season. What many initially perceived as a rebuilding season has evolved into a playoff-contending one, primarily attributed to the outstanding performance of the 23-year-old point guard, Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton’s exceptional performances in the current season have led the Pacers to exceed expectations significantly. He is in the midst of a historic season by various measures, showcasing consistency and excellence with hardly any missteps.

However, Haliburton’s college sweetheart has her heart set on another adorable being. She declares him as “favorite” over Haliburton.

Jade Jones and Tyrese Halliburton have been romantically involved since their college days at Iowa State, where they began dating in 2019. Despite their four-year relationship, Jones picked her dog, Amesers, as her “favorite”. Jones celebrated Amesers’ 3rd birthday by sharing photos with her 21.4k Instagram followers. Jones shared a story on her Instagram with the captions, “You’re my favorite part of every day; I’ll love you forever, Amesers.”

Jones was born on 30th January 1998 and is two years older than her beau, Tyrese Haliburton. She is currently pursuing a career in teaching, as she is a teacher at Walcott Elementary School in Iowa. The couple have supported each other’s career throughout their four-year relationship. However, both maintain a low profile about their relationship and do not share much information about each other publicly.

Despite not sharing much information publicly, Jones is frequently observed sitting courtside, supporting Tyrese Halliburton and the Indiana Pacers. It is a good time to watch the Pacers, as Haliburton’s offensive brilliance has turned them into the most efficient offense in the NBA. Due to his insane playmaking skills, many have started to compare Haliburton to prime Steve Nash.
