"Her new home" - Jalen Brunson's wife, Ali Brunson, adorably introduces their baby girl to MSG
It has been an eventful year for New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson and his wife, Ali Brunson. From a professional standpoint, the point guard had his best NBA season in 2023-24, finishing fifth in MVP voting.
He was rewarded for his hard work with a lucrative four-year, $156.5 million contract extension to remain in the Big Apple. The couple also had their first child together in July, Jordyn James Brunson.
On Tuesday, Ali Brunson shared an image on her Instagram story of their two-month-old daughter experiencing the famous Madison Square Garden. It is unclear when the picture was taken but Ali Brunson wrote the following message on the snap:
"Baby girl @ her new home Go KNICKS"
Jalen and Ali first met at Adlai E. Stevenson High School in the suburbs of Chicago as teenagers and have been dating since 2013.
While Jalen chose to attend Villanova University in Pennsylvania to pursue a career in basketball, Ali remained in Illinois where she attended the University of Illinois, and then Northwestern University.
Jalen proposed to his high school sweetheart in 2022 at the Stevenson High School gym, the place where he had created plenty of special memories as a highly rated player over four seasons. The two were married on July 29, 2023, in Chicago.

Jalen Brunson and Ali Brunson were relatively tight lipped about their pregnancy and there was little talk from media leading up to the special moment.
The proud father finally announced the news on his Instagram account with a post on July 31. Jalen Brunson shared a beautiful black and white photo of his daughter holding his finger. The caption accompanying the photo read:
"7/31/24 • Jordyn James Brunson 💕"
It has been a special year for the Brunson family who seem happy and settled since making the move to New York. With the NBA season around the corner, Brunson will now shift his focus to fine-tuning his game for the grueling year ahead.
