Chicago native and former Chicago Bulls great Derrick Rose just officially married his longtime partner, Alaina, in a small ceremony in California, Media Take Out has learned.
And he had his former teammate, NBA star Joakim Noah officiate the ceremony,
Derrick, who became the youngest most valuable player in NBA history following the 2010-11 season with the Bulls, married Alaina Anderson, whom he proposed to in October 2021 on the floor of Madison Square Garden. The couple have been notoriously private, but has been publicly linked since 2016 and have had two children together.
Rose created headlines in July 2022 when his former Bulls teammate and close friend Joakim Noah got married in Brazil. At Joakim’s wedding, Derrick served as the wedding’s unofficial photographer. Noah attended Thursday’s small ceremony and returned the favor – he had a role in the wedding, as the officiant.
Here are a few pics:
Derrick, 34, signed with the Memphis Grizzlies during the offseason. The No. 1 overall pick of the 2008 NBA Draft is entering his 16th NBA season and has earned leaguewide respect for overcoming myriad knee injuries to endure.
