Jalen Brunson and Ali Marks have been together for over a decade now. They began dating in 2013 while attending Adlai E. Stevenson High School together in Lincolnshire, Illinois. The young lovers even attended prom together, which Brunson gushed about on his IG, calling her “the best date anyone could ask for”.

When Brunson went off to Villanova University and Marks opted for University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, they made things work despite the long distance until they could be physically closer again. In 2022, Brunson proposed to his then-girlfriend on their high school basketball court.
