Purdue’s Jaden Ivey’s Girlfriend Goes Viral Ahead Of NBA Draft

Jaden Ivey has been regarded by many scouts as one of the best talents available in the 2022 NBA Draft class.

Ivey averaged 17.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game for Purdue last season and is poised to make an immediate impact at the next level.

On Thursday afternoon, however, Ivey didn’t find himself trending on social media for his skills on the court. Rather, it was for his skills off it.

Ahead of the draft, Ivey’s girlfriend Caitlyn Newton began trending.

Newton boasts more than 6,000 followers on Instagram and routinely has posts do impressive engagement numbers:

Lives change when people get drafted into pro leagues – and not just the lives of the athletes. Their girlfriends and spouses often find themselves in the headlines by mere association.

There’s a reason why Ben Simmons’ girlfriend posting provocative vacation photos of them went viral. That’s the name of the game when you’re dating an NBA star.

Warriors star Jordan Poole’s girlfriend learned that firsthand in the Finals.

Ivey and Newton are going to wake up on Friday morning feeling a lot different than they did Thursday morning.

How will they adjust to their newfound fame?

Time will tell.
