In a short amount of time, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a standout player for the Oklahoma City Thunder, will bring home multiple championships!
The Canadian athlete, who is 25 years old, announced Sunday on Instagram that he and his partner Hailey Summers are expecting their first child.
Embracing Summers’ growing baby bump, the NBA player closed his eyes and smiled broadly in a touching shot that was posted online. With a smile on her face and a pair of black leggings and a long-sleeved crop top, the expectant woman flaunted her expanding tummy for the camera.
The joyous news was not detailed in the announcement, but Gilgeous-Alexander did write, “2024…🩶️” in the caption.
The reply from fellow basketball player Chet Holmgren was “2 2.0 .” The athlete Nerlens Noel sent the following message: “Yessa Shai Dai!.” The couple has reportedly been dating for six years, according to ClutchPoints, and they are now expecting a child. Summers is just as gifted an athlete as Gilgeous-Alexander.
She briefly mentions her stint on the soccer team at the University of Albany in one of her Instagram postings.
In the year 2021, she captioned the shot with the phrase “5 years later.. thank you soccer, for everything, but most importantly, thank you for bringing me the best of friends I could ask for ️ #2 out.”
Additionally, in addition to her profession as a basketball player, Gilgeous-Alexander has been keeping herself busy with modeling for the SKIMS brand, which is owned by Kim Kardashian. The announcement of the brand’s launch took place in October, and it included him, the Brazilian soccer player Neymar Jr., and Nick Bosa, the defensive end for the San Francisco 49ers, as models for the menswear line.
According to reports, the firm selected the athletes for the advertising campaign after taking into consideration their personal histories, the degree to which they embrace their uniqueness, and their ability to establish connections with fans who are not associated with the sports industry.
In an interview that was conducted recently for Interview magazine, Kardashian, who is 43 years old, emphasized the importance that friends and family play in providing assistance to Gilgeous-Alexander with regard to his mental stability.
An additional statement made by the player was, “I do a lot of it with friends and family, simply because they provide me with a getaway from the spotlight, the NBA life.” As a result of the fact that many of them are back in their hometowns and leading normal lives, I am able to escape the chaos that this life provides when I am with them.
