Alright, let’s talk about Jalen Suggs and Hailey Van Lith. I started digging into this because, well, I saw some buzz online, and you know how it is – curiosity got the better of me.
So, first things first, I hit up the usual spots – social media, some sports news sites, the works. Initially, it seemed like these two were the real deal. I mean, back in 2021, when Suggs got picked up by the Orlando Magic in the NBA Draft, it looked like he and Van Lith were an item. They apparently made things public around June of that year, which I found out after scrolling through a bunch of their old posts and some articles talking about them.
Fast forward to April 27, 2024, and things got a bit more interesting. Van Lith announced she was transferring to TCU. Before that, she graduated from LSU with a master’s on August 16, 2024. I thought, “Good for her,” focusing on her career and all that.
Then, I dove a little deeper into Van Lith’s profile. This girl’s got a massive following online – over 1.8 million. Her net worth is not in the public domain, but she is doing well, ranked at #5 on the College Women’s Basketball NIL Rank, and I saw a figure floating around, something like $779,000 as her estimated value as of October 2024. Pretty impressive, right?
Naturally, I got curious about their families, too. Suggs is the son of Molly Manley and Larry Suggs, and he’s got two younger sisters, Jennica and Jaelle. Van Lith is the daughter of Jessica and Corey, and she has a brother, Tanner. She is from Cashmere and was born in Wenatchee, Washington. Just piecing together their backgrounds, you know?
But here’s where things took a turn. On September 12, 2024, I noticed that people were starting to speculate if they were still together. It was Suggs’ absence from Van Lith’s graduation that really sparked the rumors. A cryptic message from her back in July, 2024, added fuel to the fire.
I remember reading something from September 5, 2023, where Suggs had confirmed their relationship amidst all the dating rumors in 2021. But then, on December 12, 2024, boom – another bombshell. They weren’t following each other on social media anymore. That’s usually a sign, isn’t it?
Then on November 28, 2024, people said they were still dating and had managed to keep their relationship private. But on December 11, 2024, some people still said that they were dating. Well, after I spent hours going through all this, I realized it’s a bit of a rollercoaster. One minute they’re together, the next they’re not. Or are they?
On Jan 4, 2025, people were guessing they were no more together based on Hailey’s cryptic message. I tried to verify this, but you know how the internet is. One thing is for sure: I got way more invested in this than I initially planned. It’s like a real-life drama playing out online. Anyway, that’s the gist of what I found out.
What a mess, huh?
