Jaden Ivey and his longtime girlfriend, Caitlyn Newton, are excited to begin their next chapter in Detroit.
Newton joined Ivey and his family on Thursday for the 2022 NBA Draft in Brooklyn and was one of the first people he turned to after the Purdue product was selected No. 5 overall by the Pistons. An emotional Ivey later greeted commissioner Adam Silver on stage to commemorate the moment as the Barclays Center erupted into applause.
“Incredibly proud of my love! Detroit, here we come,” Newton gushed Friday on Instagram.

Ivey also reshared Newton’s post on his own Instagram Story, writing Friday, “To da D baby, I love you.”
