So, who is Derrick Rose's wife? Here's everything to know about Alaina Anderson and her relationship with the NBA player.

She's been linked to Rose since 2016

Anderson and Rose have not specified when their relationship began, but she shared the first post of him on Instagram in October 2016, shortly before he began playing for the New York Knicks. In the boomerang video, the basketball pro can be seen dancing on the pier in Malibu, California.

Since he's been with Anderson, Rose has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Detroit Pistons and the Knicks. He currently plays for the Memphis Grizzlies.

She and Rose have two kids together

On March 4, 2018, the pair welcomed their first child together, daughter Layla Malibu Rose. Their son, London Marley, arrived a year later on May 26, 2019.

Rose is also father to son PJ, whom he shares with ex Mieka Reese. In addition to being a burgeoning basketball star like his dad, the young boy has also taken up modeling.

"PJ has a love for modeling along with a huge and spunky personality," Reese told PEOPLE in 2016 of her son. "When in front of the camera, he is poised and focused. It's crazy because it isn't his mom pushing PJ, it's PJ pushing himself to model."

She got engaged to Rose in 2021

On Oct. 12, 2021, the New York Knicks player proposed to Anderson over a romantic dinner at Madison Square Garden. Rose shared the news on Instagram with photos of her ring and their private dinner setup on the Knicks court, along with a message to "my ace."

"I didn't know how you were going to perceive me. But this entire time I was hoping that you would believe me. Believe the words that I will have your back and love u forever," Rose wrote of his then-fiancée on Instagram.

"When I FIRST saw you I told Ryan that we were gon be together. It took both of us a while to let down our guards. That's only becuz both of our hearts were scarred. We are two peas in a pod becuz we are truly MISUNDERSTOOD," he said.

Anderson also shared several posts from the evening, noting she was under the impression they were "going to a Knicks team party last night," but it "turns out it was my party!!!!"

She is a regular at Rose's basketball games

Anderson frequently attends Rose's games and even brings the couple's kids. She documents her game day fashion on Instagram, sometimes matching with Layla and London.
