Who is Derrick White's wife Hannah Schneider and when did they get married
Derrick White is an NBA player for the Boston Celtics. He is married to Hannah Schneider and they have been together since their college days in Colorado. The couple's wedding took place in August 2021 in Denver.
White and Schneider first met while they were studying at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. The former San Antonio Spurs standout popped the question in 2020 amid the pandemic, but she said yes.
After around a year of engagement, White and Schneider were married in front of family friends. At the time, White was playing for the Spurs and several teammates were able to attend the wedding, including Keldon Johnson, Lonnie Walker IV, Drew Eubanks and Jakob Poeltl.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Hannah Schneider is from Boulder, Colorado. She went to Chaparral High School in Parker, Colorado. She previously worked as a receptionist for Northwest Animal Hospital in Colorado Springs.
Interestingly enough, Derrick White was born in Parker and went to Legend High School. He played for UCCS for the first three years of his collegiate career before transferring to Colorado for his senior year.
White was drafted 29th overall by the San Antonio Spurs in 2017. He spent the first four and a half seasons of his career in San Antonio before getting traded to the Boston Celtics last season. He helped the Celtics make it to the NBA Finals but lost to the Golden State Warriors in six games.
