[Saba Sports News] After leading the Miami Heat to the NBA Finals in the 2020 Bubble, Jimmy Butler continued to carry the team in 2023. Despite being the eighth seed, the Heat made an impressive playoff run and reached the Finals once again. While Butler excelled on the court, he has a supportive partner in his life, Kaitlin Nowak. Let’s learn more about Jimmy Butler’s girlfriend, Kaitlin Nowak.
The details of how Butler and Nowak met are undisclosed, but dating rumors started in 2019.
Kaitlin Nowak, born on December 13, 1990, in Nebraska, attended Omaha South High School. She later pursued a degree in Advertising, Public Relations, and Applied Communications at the University of Nebraska.
Despite her communications background, Nowak opted for a modeling career, reportedly accumulating a net worth of approximately $600,000 from her work as a lifestyle model and influencer. As of now, her Instagram and Twitter accounts are private, but she still maintains a following of 290 on Twitter and 8,256 on Instagram.
Nowak made a notable appearance at the 2016 ESPY Awards as a lifestyle influencer, accompanying fitness coach Ben Wilkinson.
Regarding her relationship with Jimmy Butler, the couple has kept their romance relatively private. Limited information is available about how they met or their current status. However, they were spotted together in 2020, attending Super Bowl LIV to witness the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Nowak has also been seen at Jimmy Butler’s NBA games.
Most notably, Butler and Nowak welcomed their first child, a daughter named Rylee, at the start of the 2019-20 NBA season. This life-changing event inspired Butler to reflect on his role as a father and the values he wishes to instill in his daughter, promoting gender equality and empowerment.
During the 2020 NBA Bubble, Butler had to temporarily leave his newborn daughter as he adhered to strict COVID-19 protocols. While Nowak cared for Rylee, Butler led the Heat to the NBA Finals.
In an effort to protect their daughter’s privacy, both Butler and Nowak agreed not to share family-related information on social media. Butler has expressed the challenges of being a celebrity parent and his desire for his daughter to have a normal life.
There is limited recent information available about Nowak and Butler’s relationship. Rumors linked Butler to Hollywood star Selena Gomez, but she clarified her desire to keep her options open. Despite rumors, Butler has also been associated with Rachel Nichols.
As the NBA season approaches, Butler remains committed to both his family and his professional career. He recently garnered attention for his unique appearance during media day, showcasing his ongoing playful persona.
