Jordan Poole is one of the most exciting young players in the NBA, having emerged as a legitimate star on the Golden State Warriors. Poole has been a key piece in helping the Warriors reach the NBA Finals and is widely expected to get a huge contract after his current deal expires. If he can win a championship before then, his star will only continue to rise.
And as with any young, talented, and upcoming NBA star, fans have taken an interest in Poole’s personal life and who he may or may not be seeing. After a postgame interview earlier in the season, there was speculation about a potential relationship with ESPN’s Malika Andrews but there was never any substance to those rumors.
According to the latest reports, Poole has been in a relationship with Instagram model Kim Cruz for a while, with SideAction quoting a source that suggested the same:
“Here’s some fresh tea, Jordan Poole is dating Kim Cruz. She was wearing one of his shirts that wasn’t out exclusively yet at the time, every time she’s at his games she turns her comments off, they’ve been together for a few months,” says our source.
Cruz is an Instagram model with over 400K followers on the app, and while there is nothing on her social media or Poole’s to suggest that they are in a relationship, it wouldn’t be surprising that they’ve kept it a secret even if they are.
Whatever the situation, Poole currently has much bigger things on his mind, with the NBA Finals starting on Thursday. The Warriors will take on an excellent Boston Celtics team with the best defense in the league, something that Poole will have to find a way to break down if the Dubs are to win their 4th championship since 2015.
