Former Chicago Bulls guard Jaden Ivey has sports in his blood.
From a basketball-playing mom to two generations of NFL stars on his dad’s side, Ivey always seemed destined for athletics.
The shooting guard attended Purdue University, not far from the University of Notre Dame, where his mom, Niele Ivey, coaches women’s basketball. There, he met his wife, volleyball player Caitlyn Newton.
The pair are now navigating life with three kids as Jaden looks to continue his basketball career with controversy swirling around him.
On March 30, 2026, Jaden made controversial anti-LGBTQ+ comments on an Instagram livestream, leading to the Bulls waiving him the same day.

“The world can proclaim LGBTQ, right?” he said on the stream. “They proclaim Pride Month. And the NBA, they proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month, to celebrate unrighteousness.’ They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it in the streets. Unrighteousness.”
