Tyrese Haliburton has finally proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Jade Jones. The professional basketball player planned the engagement and chose the Cyclones' home as the location for the event, as it is where the couple first met.

In a joint Instagram post shared on Monday, July 28, 2025, the couple announced their engagement with a carousel of photos, showcasing snippets from the event. The first slide showed Tyrese Haliburton on his knees, trying to make the relationship official, and Jade Jones stood with her hands covering her face as she looked at Tyrese with surprise.

A large “WILL YOU MARRY ME” sign is spotted in the background with flowers and balloons decorating the court of Iowa State University's Hilton Coliseum.

In another slide, the couple flashed a wide smile at the camera as Jones subtly showcased her engagement ring. Tyrese Haliburton wore black shorts and a long-sleeved pink shirt paired with a white inner shirt. Jade, on the other hand, wore an ethereal white dress featuring a low neckline, a fitted waistline, and a short, flowy skirt.

Other slides displayed the couple sharing a kiss, a close-up of the ring, and a video of Jade saying yes and accepting the ring.
