Thursday, Feb. 13, was a nightmare for the Oklahoma City Thunder—a 101-116 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves was not in the script. But hey, the NBA thrives on surprises. Still, there was a silver lining—Isaiah Hartenstein. Despite the chaos, the 26-year-old delivered a rock-solid double-double, a bright spot on an otherwise forgettable night. But here’s another plot twist. Forget the scoreboard for a second—Valentine’s Day was right around the corner, and the OKC center had something sweeter in store.

Hartenstein had his wife Kourtney Kellar by his side for the Valentine’s Day plan. But wait, she wasn’t the main character of this story. Clemente Almanza of The Thunder Wire reported:“On Saturday, Isaiah Hartenstein hosted a Valentine’s Day party at a local restaurant for a dozen moms and their 26 kids from the Boys & Girls Club of Oklahoma County. He visited with the families and gifted each mom with a bouquet of flowers and a gift card.” 

In the photos, the Thunder star is greeting guests—shaking hands, smiling, and holding his child. Isaiah Hartenstein’s sweet gesture surely brought big smiles to the faces of those 12 moms and their children. Indeed, a heartfelt gesture from the fierce hoopster. Fans had one general reaction to Isaiah’s sweetness and that is: “Good guy iHart.”

Meanwhile, this brings back memories from 2022, when the then-Clippers star Hartenstein asked his now-wife Kourtney Kellar to marry him. And guess the day? Of course, Valentine’s Day!

The day Isaiah Hartenstein asked his wife to marry him

Isaiah Hartenstein kicked off his 2022 off-season with a major life move! Less than a week after wrapping up the season, on February 14, the then-23-year-old Clippers center got down on one knee. On a stunning Malibu beach, he popped the question to Kourtney Kellar, his girlfriend of three years. “Excited for the next part of our journey!! Love you ❤️💍 @kourtney_kellar #foe,” he wrote on Instagram, sealing the moment with love.

Of course, this big moment had to be captured. Meanwhile, video producer Isaiah King was on hand, snapping dreamy engagement shots after Kellar said yes. She couldn’t wait to share the news either. In a sweet nod to her fiancé, she posted in German: “Ich hab ja natürlich gesagt ❤️” (which means, “Of course I said ‘yes'”). Safe to say, love was in the air! Moreover, the couple cited Valentine’s Day as their anniversary on social media.

Therefore, it’s easy to understand why Feb.14 might be a special day for Isaiah Hartenstein and his wife, Kourtney Kellar. They don’t miss an opportunity to make it memorable, and this year it was a bit too special. Spreading love and joy to a dozen mothers in Oklahoma, iHart surely went the extra mile.
