Jaden McDaniels and his girlfriend, Allison Audrey, have mastered the art of keeping their lives private. Sure, they have kept us informed about major milestones. But can we construct a proper timeline with those? Not really. That said, as fans, we can’t help but be curious about our favorite athletes’ lives, be it on-court or off-court. So, come, let’s explore their relationship.

Who is Jaden McDaniel’s girlfriend, Allison Audrey? What does she do?

The Spanish beauty that stole the heart of JMac Allison Johnson, as she was known, was born in Gijón, Spain. Her father, Ed Lee Johnson, had a basketball career that spanned 12 seasons. Originally from Atlanta, Johnson was selected by the then-Seattle Supersonics in the third round, No. 33. In his time with the league, the Tennessee State alum played for the Los Angeles Stars, New York Nets (Brooklyn Nets), and Texas Chaparrals (San Antonio Spurs).

But in 1973, he moved to Spain and created a legacy there. It was also where he met his wife, Isabel Argüelles. And he had two lovely daughters. After retiring as a player, he spent some time as a coach before finally returning home in 2012. Allison, who was 12 by then, settled into Norcross, attending Norcross High School. For college, Johnson decided on Kennesaw State, playing for two seasons. While there, she earned a spot on the Atlantic Sun Conference All-Freshman Team.

But after the sophomore season, Allison would move south down Interstate 75 and join Georgia State. However, the young forward had to sit out the 2017-18 season due to transfer rules. But she made sure the wait was well worth it. Starting all but two games, Allison averaged 11.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game at GSU, earning her the Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year honor. She also achieved the honor of being named to the Third Team All-Sun Belt.

What really pushed her to give her best these years was one, the death of her father in 2016. And secondly, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018. He was watching her daughter achieve greatness was a great moment for Isabel. “For me, this is my dream. I wish that my husband was here because he dreamed [this] all of his life [too],” Mama Johnson said in a 2019 interview with The Signal (an independent news outlet of GSU).”

While her daughter’s success definitely made her proud, the most important thing for Allison’s mom was something else. “She’s a hard worker, which is the most important thing to me. It’s not about being a star or not; she’s doing a great job helping the team, and I love to see her playing that way.”

Can Jaden McDaniels balance being a new dad and an NBA star? What do you think?

Have an interesting take?

Well, McDaniels definitely got the right woman to back him on his journey! But now let’s look at their journey.

How did Jaden McDaniel and Allison Audrey meet?

As said earlier, the McDaniel couple has nailed the art of keeping a relationship private. We mean, just look at their limited post, no oversharing, no interviews, nothing. That level of privacy is something hard to maintain these days. Anyhow, this makes details about their relationship known. Which means there is no information out there on the internet about how they met or when they got married.  But they keep posting on each other’s birthday on Instagram story, like once she posted a couple of his pictures and called him the best partner and best dad. Okay, so now this, we also have one more thing to share, their cute little bundle of joy.

How many kids does Jaden McDaniel and Allison Audrey have?

The Timberwolves star is a father to a little boy. Although we don’t know the full name, the new parents have given to their baby, Audrey, was kind enough to drop a name – Mekhi. And while the Georgia State alum and Jaden usually keep their affairs to themselves, Allison seems to have been so excited for their child’s arrival that she kept dropping photos one after another sooner than usual.

Hey, we are not complaining!

Of course, there haven’t been any further developments. But the new mom is certainly not getting behind on her workouts. The latest IG stories of Allison show her chronicling her fitness journey, and it’s been only 2 months and 5 days postpartum! In fact, a few days ago, she shared a relatable and therefore inspirational video for all the mothers who keep postponing working out.

“I did not want to go to the gym today especially because Jaden was off so I wanted to stay in bed but then I remembered all the outfits I need to wear this season and that helped me get my butt UP. No excuses,” she captioned the short clip, along with the workout details. However, together they are building it.
