The concept of loyalty has slowly disappeared from the NBA. There are only a handful of players who have been with only one franchise for their entire careers. And that number has decreased with the retirement of a 20-year veteran after last season. While the Miami Heat are synonymous with names such as Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O’Neal, there was another person instrumental in their success. So much so that Wade even called him the greatest player in franchise history. Even though his on-court career is over, the 42-year-old has a lot to look forward to off the court as he celebrated a momentous occasion recently.

The adorable couple has been married for 10 years but their relationship goes further back in time. On their 10th marriage anniversary, the couple looked back at the loving memoir of their relationship with old photographs.

The beginning of a 21-year-old relationship

Udonis and Faith Haslem have been a much-loved couple for many years and their story is equally interesting. The two athletes crossed paths at the campus of the University of Florida in 1999. However, it was years later that the duo began dating in 2002.?

After dating for 11 years, the couple tied the knot on August 24, 2013. Over the course of their decades-long relationship, the two have stayed strong to help and support each other through thick and thin.?

The couple is swooning in love again as they complete a fantastic and dynamic decade and look forward to celebrating many more years of wedded bliss. As a nod to their 21 years of relationship, the 3x NBA champion took to his Instagram to share some pictures from their college years. Haslem shared an old photograph of him with his wife from 2002 and wrote, ?The Beginning?. This comes hours after they celebrated their anniversary.

Haslem was known for his tenacity and no-nonsense approach to the game. He impressed each and every star that has donned the Heat jersey. Wade’s “brother” will certainly be missed by the franchise going forward but he still has a lot to look forward to. While a lot is known about the 42-year-old, the same cannot be said about his wife. So who is Faith Haslem?

What does Faith Haslem do?

While the two were quite different from each other, they have been able to work through their differences and have now been happily married for 10 years. The couple share three children together, named Elijah, Kedonis, and Josiah Haslem.

Notably, Faith shares the same love and passion for sports as her husband. As a student-athlete, she was able to forge a deeper relationship with Haslem. The mother of three is also an investor and has previously worked as a production assistant for Real Sports on HBO. While the 42-year-old Miami Heat legend made an impressive exit by scoring 24 points against the Orlando Magic, he is trying to make his post-retirement vacation equally joyous.
