Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a historic NBA season capturing the regular season Most Valuable Player award, the NBA Finals MVP, and brought the Oklahoma City Thunder its first-ever championship with a Game 7 victory Sunday night over the Indiana Pacers.

While the 26-year-old remains pretty private off the court with his wife Hailey Summers and their 1-year-old son Ares, Gilgeous-Alexander had some touching moments with his family after winning the title as he soaked it all in, including the baby almost breaking his MVP trophy.

Summers doesn’t post a lot either. In fact, just today, Monday, June 23, she posted celebration photos in her first Instagram post since April 25.

Summers and Gilgeous-Alexander are both Canadian and met in 2017 in high school. They got married last year and have the one child together.

Summers, like her husband, is a strong athlete. She played soccer at the University of Albany from 2017-2021.

After the win, an old photo of them as teenagers resurfaced.

Who would’ve known the kid cut from his JV team and with Summers there in high school would end up an NBA champion — and MVP — and still be together?

It’s an amazing story and journey for Gilgeous-Alexander and Summers. Congrats to them both.
