Chris Paul<\/strong>\u2019s wife, Jada<\/strong>, has been by his side since the start of his basketball career \u2014 and now she gets to see how it ends.<\/p>\n

After the NBA star teased his retirement<\/a> from basketball on Saturday, November 21, tying the bow on an illustrious 21-year career, Jada was quick to post a congratulatory message for her high school sweetheart.<\/p>\n

Jada, a fashion designer and entrepreneur, reposted Chris\u2019s retirement announcement video on her Instagram story<\/a>, posting a supportive message along with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHelluva career! Helluva ride! So proud of you,\u201d Jada posted via her Instagram story.<\/p>\n

Jada and Chris met when Chris was a junior in high school and Jada was a senior.<\/p>\n

Jada explained in a 2014 interview with xoNecole<\/em> that a mutual friend set them up. The two finished high school and went to Wake Forest University together before Chris was drafted into the NBA in 2005 after his sophomore year of college.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe met in high school. I\u2019m a year older than him, so in high school it wasn\u2019t cool to be a senior dating a junior,\u201d Jada said in an interview with xoNecole<\/em> in 2014.<\/p>\n

The couple stayed together throughout college and tied the knot in September 2011 in North Carolina. Chris was already in the seventh year of his NBA career at that time.<\/p>\n

Other NBA stars attended the wedding as well, including LeBron James<\/strong> and Dwayne Wade<\/strong>. Comedian Kevin Hart<\/strong> was also at the star-studded ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur relationship has been a progression,\u201d Jada told Essence<\/em> magazine at the time. \u201cI feel safe with Chris. He\u2019s very protective.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris and Jada share two kids together: Chris Jr.<\/strong>, 16, and Camryn<\/strong>, 13.<\/p>\n

They co-founded the CP3 Foundation in 2005 in partnership with The Winston-Salem Foundation with the goal of making a positive impact \u201cby focusing on education, health & wellness, and leadership. The foundation provides resources that enrich and strengthen the healthy development of strong communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris has been very supportive of his wife throughout the years, sharing with People in a 2022 interview that praising the women in his life is very important to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s why I\u2019m blessed to have the strong mother I was raised by, but then also have an amazing wife and have the opportunity to raise two amazing kids,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Soon after he was drafted in the first round of the 2005 NBA Draft, Chris made his presence felt in the league. He earned the Rookie of the Year Award after his first season with the New Orleans Hornets (now Pelicans).<\/p>\n

He spent the first six seasons of his career in New Orleans before he was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, where he spent the next seven years.<\/p>\n
