Derrick Rose, who is nicknamed "The Windy City Assassin," welcomed PJ Rose in 2012 with his former girlfriend Mieka Reese. Though the former couple split four years after the birth of their son, they continue to be committed to co-parenting their son.
PJ Rose is already gaining fame for his basketball skills. He was selected to be a part of JA Morant's AAU team, Twelve Time, earlier this year. Though he is currently in fifth grade, PJ made the team despite it accepting only sixth and seventh graders, according to Memphis Commercial Appeal.
PJ aspires to make it to the NBA, following in his father's footsteps. He is regularly seen practicing on the court with his father.
Derrick Rose's son PJ Rose loses $200 bet to his father
PJ Rose turned 12 earlier this month, and his mom, Meika Reese, threw a party. The occasion featured a Chicago theme cake, highlighted by mascots of the Chicago Bulls and other of the city's sports teams.
Derrick Rose and his wife, Aliana Anderson, attended his son's birthday party. In an Instagram story uploaded by Anderson during the celebrations, Rose and his son PJ were seen agreeing over a basketball bet.
In the video, the former NBA MVP was heard offering his son $200 if he made the 3-point shot from the edge of the backyard court. PJ confirms the amount in response and proceeds to shoot the ball after a dribble, only to hit the rim and miss, losing the bet.
Apart from PJ, Derrick Rose has two more children with Aliana Anderson. The couple welcomed their daughter, Layla, in March 2018, and their son, London, in May 2019.
The three-time NBA All-Star previously shocked the NBA world when he announced his retirement last month, wrapping up his 16-year career in the league. Rose cited that he would move on to the next chapter of his life, and he has been exactly that, as he spends more time with his family and friends.
