Cavs’ Jarrett Allen has heartwarming throwback moment with wife at wedding

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen married his longtime girlfriend, Jordyn January, on Sunday. The wedding was attended by close friends and family, including current and former teammates of Allen.

While the couple has typically kept their relationship private, they shared a public moment at the reception by surprising guests with a dance to "We're All in This Together" from "High School Musical." This moment was captured and shared on social media by Allen's former teammate, Isaac Okoro, leading to fan requests for Allen to repeat the dance during a Cavaliers halftime show.

The article highlights Allen's reputation as one of the NBA's most affable players, with this lighthearted moment offered as further evidence. It notes Allen was only eight years old when "High School Musical" was released in 2006.

Allen and January got engaged in 2023, with Allen proposing on a beach and sharing the news on Instagram with the caption, "She’s mine. Find your own." Reports indicate the couple began dating in 2016 while Allen was playing for the University of Texas and January was pursuing a nursing degree at Concordia University.

The piece concludes by mentioning Allen's on-court contribution to the Cavaliers' strong 64-18 record in the Eastern Conference last season, though the team ultimately lost in the conference semifinals to the Indiana Pacers.
