Last month, eagle-eyed observers spotted WNBA guard Kysre Gondrezick on Jaylen Brown’s duck boat at the Boston Celtics’ championship parade.
Tonight, Brown and Gondrezick publicly confirmed their relationship, showing up in style on the red carpet at the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles.
Brown is a nominee for “Best Championship Performance” after winning MVP of the NBA Finals.
The Celtics, who beat the Dallas Mavericks in five games to win the franchise’s 18th world championship, are also up for the honor of “Best Team,” while Boston small forward Jayson Tatum is a nominee for “Best NBA Player.”

This week was a bit sour for Brown, who was upset at being passed over by USA Basketball to replace Kawhi Leonard at the upcoming Olympics. Celtics guard Derrick White was chosen for Leonard’s spot instead.
Brown even called out Nike, implying that the company had a role in blocking him form the roster because he criticized its handling of Kyrie Irving.
As for Gondrezick, she was recently released by the WNBA’s Chicago Sky. The No. 4 overall pick of the 2021 WNBA Draft, Gondrezick has not appeared in a WNBA regular season game since her rookie campaign, but she’s still pursuing a career in hoops.
Now that she and Brown have made their relationship official, we’d expect to be seeing some more of them in the coming months.
