Tyrese Haliburton's Girlfriend Jade Jones Shows Off $2,900 Accessory at Fever-Valkyries Clash in Indiana

Jade Jones attended the Indiana Fever vs. Golden State Valkyries game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, drawing significant attention with her courtside appearance, famous friends, and a $2,900 Wander handbag, which became a talking point.

Jones is the girlfriend of Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton and a close friend of Fever guard Caitlin Clark. Haliburton is also friends with Clark's boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, a former Pacers staffer, and the four maintain an active group chat, explaining Jones's presence at Clark's first game back after missing five contests with a groin injury.

The Fever lost the game 80-61, with Clark playing 25 minutes and contributing 10 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds.

Jones has admired Clark since her college days at Iowa, despite Jones attending rival Iowa State (where she was a cheerleader) after graduating from Davenport West High School in Iowa. While Jones rooted for Clark once she entered the WNBA, Haliburton only became a consistent supporter after Clark joined the Fever, though he followed her career earlier due to his friendship with McCaffery.

Jones and Haliburton met during their freshman year at Iowa State and have been together for six years. They named their goldendoodle "Ames" after the city where they met. Jones now teaches elementary school in Iowa and regularly attends Pacers games and Haliburton's major career moments, including Team USA's Olympic gold win in Paris.

Her support is particularly crucial now as Haliburton suffered an Achilles injury during the Pacers' NBA Finals loss and will miss the entire 2025-26 season. Jones expressed pride in the Pacers' historic season on social media but acknowledged the "bittersweet" ending.

With Haliburton sidelined for the upcoming season, Jones's steady presence is expected to be a key source of support during his recovery.
