Austin Reaves and Jenna Barber started dating when they were very young.
However, the shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers hasn’t said much about his friendship with Barber. The two grew up in Newark, Arkansas, and went to Cedar Ridge High School. A story from the New York Post says they have been together since 2014. But Reaves has never said in public that they are dating.
Barber has been a fan of Reaves’ basketball career from the beginning. In May 2020, she wrote on Facebook about a shot Reaves made to win a game for the University of Oklahoma. In 2023, when the Los Angeles Lakers were in the playoffs, Barber also cheered for her boyfriend.
