While multiple women have been rumored to be Jaylen Brown's girlfriend, the N.B.A. star has set his focus on his impressive career and charity. However, social media users have called it "strange" that Jaylen Brown has not had a confirmed relationship.
From Instagram models and influencers to a high-profile R&B singer, according to reports, Jaylen Brown has spent some time on the dating scene. However, in all his years in the public eye as a professional athlete, he has yet to confirm that he has a girlfriend.
Instead, when he isn't scoring point after point on the basketball court, Brown spends his time giving back through the foundation he started, the 7uice Foundation.
Bernice Burgos Is Jaylen Brown's Latest Rumored Girlfriend
While Brown has made a reputation for himself as someone who does not kiss and tell, he sparked dating rumors with Bernice Burgos in the autumn of 2022 when they were photographed enjoying a night out together.
The 42-year-old Instagram model has accumulated a large following on social media, and Brown is not her first high-profile relationship, as Burgos has been linked to rappers Young M.A., Drake, and T.I. Originally from The Bronx, New York, Burgos was a waitress and barmaid before she broke into the modeling industry.
In 2012, she starred in Rick Ross' music video for "Diced Pineapples" and appeared on MTV's "Wild 'N Out." Following the news of Brown and Burgos' rumored relationship, one social media user said:
"Bernice Burgos, the world's sexiest grandmother ruining my crush on her by smashing Jaylen Brown and appearing around town together is equally tragic."
Another wrote, "Jaylen Brown dating Bernice Burgos was definitely not on my bingo card lol," while a third shared, "Jaylen Brown really out here dating Bernice Burgos. That N.B.A. life is crazy."
Fans Noticed That Jaylen Brown Didn't Have a Girlfriend
Burgos was not Brown's first rumored girlfriend, as he was linked to Louisiana-born Instagram model and influencer Jacqueline Hawileh. They were spotted enjoying a vacation during an All-Star break; however, it was not long before Brown was connected to someone else.
In 2021, Brown and R&B singer H.E.R. sparked dating rumors after liking a few of each other's Instagram posts. However, these rumors, too, died down as neither Jaylen nor H.E.R. publicly confirmed the speculation.
Once the public noticed that Brown had not been in a publicly confirmed relationship, they called it "strange" and romantically linked Brown to his Boston Celtics teammate, Jayson Tatum. One person shared, "Jayson Tatum is the girlfriend that Jaylen Brown never had he will always be there for him."
Another wrote, "Tatum and Brown never took on any girlfriend... Strange, isn't it?? For me it's not just this photo here, Jaylen Brown is the mother that Deuce needs, and the tatum is the man of Tatum's life, love is in the air" [sic].
Jaylen Brown Calls Basketball the 'Main Girlfriend'
Despite the rumors, for Brown, it was all about building his brand. The Boston Celtics' small forward revealed that his focus was basketball and said:
"When [players] enter the league, the focus should be on what I call 'your main girlfriend,' and that should be basketball. There's an African proverb that says if you try to chase two hares at once, you'll mess around and lose both."
He goes by "FCHWPO" on Instagram, which stands for "faith, consistency (and) hard work pays off." Along with his devotion to basketball came Brown's passion for charity.
In 2020, state senator Nick Collins honored Brown for his work with the youth in Boston at the Massachusetts State House, where Brown said, "This is the stuff that keeps me going and motivates me and gets me out of bed..."
As a foundation founder, Brown is committed to utilizing his knowledge and resources to give back to his community and create "an equitable society and sustainable planet."
