Tyrese Haliburton's girlfriend Jade Jones teases a glimpse of Team USA Star’s big moment before the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony
Ahead of the start of the Paris Olympics, Tyrese Haliburton's girlfriend Jade Jones took to Instagram to share a photo of the two at the opening ceremonies. The couple have been together since 2019, when they were both students at Iowa State and Haliburton was looking to cement himself as a future NBA star.
The Opening Ceremony is set to start at 10:30 a.m. Pacific Time (1:30 p.m. Eastern), with the event running for almost a full four hours. Fans eager to watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony can do so via the NBC channel on TV, as well as on Peacock, the NBC app, and the network's website.
While the opening ceremonies are scheduled to take place today, Olympic basketball action isn't set to tip off until Saturday, with Tyrese Haliburton and Team USA set to compete in their first game on Sunday.
In a photo shared to Jones' Instagram story, the couple can be seen together with Haliburton wearing his Team USA blazer along with a pair of jeans. The photo was one of several that Jones shared of the couple over the past day, showing the Pacers star playing an arcade game the night before the Opening Ceremony.
