Derrick Rose is one of the most iconic athletes of his generation, even if his career didn’t live up to its potential because of injuries. He’s one of the most well-known NBA players in the world, so when he shared a family photo that included his current wife and ex-girlfriend celebrating together, the picture went viral.

Anyone who has a problem with something like this is being obtuse for no reason. The Rose family, especially the kids, get to grow up in a happily thriving family instead of growing up estranged from their relatives. Rose has found a way to maximize the time his family spends with each other and that’s wonderful to see, as the three children have multiple parental figures to seek out.
The Rose family had also gone viral on Christmas after D-Rose shared a picture of his baby’s mother and wife wearing matching pajamas. It’s clear the family has put down healthy boundaries and is trying to make sure all the children grow up together. If Rose is providing for everyone, this shouldn’t be subject to outside criticism.
Families being together will always trump families splitting up, and it’s wonderful to see such a healthy co-parenting relationship between Rose and the two women in his life.
Who Is Derrick Rose’s Wife?
Derrick Rose got engaged to his current wife Alaina Anderson in October 2021, when Rose still played for the Knicks. Rose proposed to Andreson on the Knicks court after a private dinner for two in the center of the iconic Madison Square Garden. The pair tied the knot in September 2023 and have two children together. Their daughter is named Layla Malibu (born 2018) and their son is named London Marley (born 2019).
Alaina Anderson has been linked with Rose since 2016, with the children being born before their marriage last year. The pair are very private about their relationship, outside occasional posts on Instagram like from last year’s Christmas which showed the entire family celebrating together.
If they’ve been together since 2016, Anderson had a front-row seat to Rose’s multiple injury issues, which cut his prime short. She must have been a big support to him when he was finding his way back to the NBA, playing for teams like the Timberwolves and Pistons before he got traded to the Knicks, who gave him a xxx-year, xxx million contract to re-establish his name in the NBA.
Rose and Anderson currently reside in Memphis, where Rose is a member of the Grizzlies roster. He’s averaging 8.0 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 24 games this season, being mostly unavailable due to injury.
Who Is Derrick Rose’s Baby Mama?
Derrick Rose had already started a family before meeting Anderson. His first son, Derrick Rose Jr., affectionately known as PJ, was born in 2012 to Rose and Mieka Reese, a Chicago native who was linked with Rose during his younger days. It’s unclear how serious their relationship was, but Rose is heavily involved in his son’s life.
Mieka Reese is a successful designer and has amassed over 590K followers on social media.
Derrick Rose Jr. is yet to even enter high school but is making his name known as a burgeoning basketball star. He’s been known to model, something Reese discussed in 2016 when PJ was just four years old.
“PJ has a love for modeling along with a huge and spunky personality. 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.”
Even though people will make jokes about how the Rose family chooses to live their lives and raise their children, this is quite a happy example of how parents can co-exist to ensure their children are happy.
