Young star Jordan Poole is at a very crucial juncture of his NBA career. After being drafted by the Golden State Warriors in 2019, Poole played for the Santa Cruz Warriors for two years. After returning to the team in 2021, the guard impressed everyone with his handling and shot-making. Poole soon became one of the best young prospects in the league and made some clutch shots during the Warriors’ run to the title in the 2021-22 season. Many fans believed he could be Stephen Curry‘s successor given the similarity in their style. But things went south after Poole’s altercation with Draymond Green at the start of the current 2022-23 season.

A few weeks after the Dubs were eliminated from the playoffs, Poole was traded to the Washington Wizards for veteran Chris Paul. Interestingly, despite being traded, Poole was reportedly seen wearing Warriors apparel on his vacation and fans were devastated. During a time like this, Poole’s family and possibly his alleged girlfriend are a huge support to him.

Jordan Poole is a very private person despite his superstardom. Even though he has over 2.3 million followers on Instagram, he rarely shares any updates about his life – and that includes his love life. Poole is reportedly dating popular artist Kim Cruz.

Kim was born in 1997 in the Philippines where she currently lives. She was drawn towards art from a very young age but started her career as a TV host. Cruz eventually entered the world of art, joining an art gallery. She is now a visual artist who finds her muse in the female figure.
