Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton and Jade Jones are officially married, just over a month after one among Jones’ friends died during her bachelorette party trip in St. Barts.
“it’s (courthouse) official 🍾💍,” Jones, 28, posted via Instagram on Tuesday, July 21. The couple shared a carousel of photos from the large day, which was attended by a small group of family and friends.
Jones opted for a brief, white dress and white heels, ending off her look with a bouquet of white flowers. Haliburton, 26, kept things easy in a black t-shirt and black pants.
“Yayyyy one step closer 🤍,” commented Jordyn Woods, who’s engaged to Recent York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns.
The courthouse ceremony comes weeks after the death of Jones’ friend Makenzi Kern in St. Barts on June 8. She was 26.
Kern died of “health complications” on the holiday, in line with her obituary. No reason behind death has been publicly released.

Jones and Kern met as cheerleaders at Iowa State University, where Haliburton was also a star basketball player.
“Kenzi was the funniest, goofiest person I’ve ever met,” Jones wrote via Instagram on June 17. “She was all the time making me belly laugh. She had such a present of bringing happiness to each room she was in. A few of my favorite memories with Kenzi are the easy ones — spending a summer living in her city, leaving our mark on the capital district, running around our cars at stop lights, cheering on the bandshell together, obsessing over The Office, dancing on countertops to Hannah Montana, and watching her light up anytime she got to be on a ship.”
Makenzi Kern was busy celebrating her friend Jade Jones‘ upcoming wedding just days before suddenly dying on Jones’ bachelorette trip. Jones, the fiancée of Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, tagged Kern in photos from the holiday to St. Barts, which took a tragic activate June 8 when Kern “unexpectedly” died. She was 26.

Jones continued, “She loved and supported Tyrese and me through every chapter. She was our biggest cheerleader and showed up for me in every big moment in my life. I can’t even imagine our wedding day without her there celebrating with us. The day won’t be the identical without her, but I do know she is going to show us she is there someway. She has been there for all of our moments for the reason that day I met Tyrese. But Kenz will ceaselessly live to tell the tale in my memories, my laughter, my stories, and within the person I’m due to her. I won’t ever stop laughing about all our memories together.”
Haliburton also spoke out on June 17 following Kern’s sudden death.
“We are going to all the time love and miss you Kenz,” the NBA star wrote via his Instagram Story. “Without end thankful for you.”
