The duo met in 2019 and began dating, soon after welcoming their daughter, Rylee, into the world. She’s made some appearances at his games and continues to support her famous father’s career.

The Baller Has Also Been Linked To Several Famous Singers

It was reported in July 2023, that the baller was dating pop singer Shakira. Their 13-year-age gap didn’t seem to get in the way of the duo enjoying a few dates before contact dwindled over time. He was said to have made Shakira smile which sparked their romance in the first place. Similarly, it was rumored that Jimmy Butler was linked to Selena Gomez in 2020, Iggy Azalea in 2018 and Miley Cyrus in 2013.

Casual dates and party attendances are allegedly the ways through which each of these singers met the Heat player although nothing has ever been confirmed. Iggy Azalea is the only one of the singers to publicly deny any romantic connection to Butler via an interview.

Members of the Media and a Fellow Athlete Have Reportedly Caught Butler’s Eye

In 2017, flirty messages exchanged via Twitter and Instagram between Jimmy Butler and LoLo Jones led fans and media to believe that the two athletes were dating. Butler made comments about the distinguished Olympic athlete which led to their interaction, but outside of these messages, a connection was never confirmed.

He was, however, linked to actress, Shay Mitchell who also shared in social media message exchanges with the athlete in addition to the duo being spotted together in public. Last, but certainly not least, Butler was rumored to be linked to Rachel Nichols mostly because of their chemistry on camera. Neither party has confirmed or denied a romantic relationship despite the alleged sparks that flew between them during Nichols’ game coverage.
