Just after clinching his second Olympic gold medal in Paris, Boston Celtics defensive specialist Jrue Holiday brought his wife and children to witness the historic WNBA game between the Connecticut Sun and LA Sparks at TD Garden in Boston.
This game, the first WNBA match held at the iconic TD Garden, was a sell-out, with 19,156 tickets sold. It marked the fifth sell-out of the 2024 season, the third highest attendance for a WNBA game this season so far and the largest ticket sales for a Connecticut Sun game in franchise history.
Jrue Holiday and his wife, Lauren, were in attendance for this landmark event, and the WNBA shared a heartwarming video of the Holiday family courtside, captioned:

Like Jrue, Lauren Holiday is also a prominent sports figure, having won two Olympic gold medals in soccer.
The couple first met during their college years at UCLA in 2008. Their relationship blossomed both personally and professionally, with Jrue’s NBA career beginning with the Philadelphia 76ers and Lauren achieving success in soccer as a key player for the US Women’s National Team.
Jrue proposed to Lauren in 2013, and they were married on July 7, 2013.
They have two daughters: their first, Jrue, was born in September 2016, and their second, Layla, arrived in January 2018.
Jrue Holiday signs 4-year extension with Celtics
After being traded from the Milwaukee Bucks, Holiday quickly found a place with the Boston Celtics, who were the top team of the 2023-24 season. And now he’s staying for the long haul.
Holiday has agreed to a four-year, $135 million contract extension with the Celtics, opting out of his $37.5 million player option for next season as part of the deal.
This extension will keep him with the team through the 2027-28 season.
Celtics general manager Brad Stevens praised Holiday for his contributions beyond basketball.
“In addition to being one of the more accomplished players in the league, Jrue is an elite teammate and competitor,” Stevens said in a statement.
“He blends an unselfishness to do whatever is best for the team with a drive to tackle any challenge at any time. We are thrilled to have Jrue as a Celtic.”
Holiday has been a vital asset for the Celtics with his defensive prowess, especially as the team traded defensive stalwart Marcus Smart to acquire Kristaps Porzingis.
