Haliburton had the words “Will You Marry Me?” inside the Hilton Coliseum, the home court of Iowa State, where they began their relationship.

Jones said yes to the wedding proposal, stamping another milestone in their relationship. The two-time All-Star also had rose petals on the floor, adding a romantic touch to their intimate moment.

"The place where our story started, and where our next chapter begins❤️💍" Haliburton posted on Instagram.

Following the post, their friends and loved ones congratulated them on the social media platform.

"Congrats Y’all!" Haliburton's former Pacers teammate Myles Turner commented.

NBA stars Devin Vassell and Jaxson Hayes also left comments, as did Hali's former Pacers teammate Jalen Smith.

Even Jones had her fun in the comments section. She teased about her future nickname as she's about to get married to the Indiana Pacers star.

"Future Mrs. What the Hali 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭" Jones commented.

Jones referenced Tyrese Haliburton's nickname, which was popularized in the song "WTHELLY" by rapper Rob49 and gained traction during the 2025 playoffs.

The couple started dating in 2019 when they were both students at Iowa State. Both were athletic in college. Haliburton spent two years on the men's basketball team before he was drafted by the Sacramento Kings in 2020. Jones, meanwhile, was part of the cheerleading team.
