Udonis Haslem and Faith Rein-Haslem’s Marriage
The NBA player has been head over heels in love with his college sweetheart and now wife, Faith Rein, since he first laid eyes on her during their time together at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. The wedding, which they had planned for several months, finally took place at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach on the 24th day of August 2013.
They dated for a total of 14 years before getting engaged to each other. When she first encountered him in 1999 at the University of Florida, she competed as a member of the Florida Gators track and field team.
She then dated a football player while Udonis was with a volleyball player. They would sometimes see each other in the hallway, but Faith and Udonis did not talk to each other again until the following school year.
In May of 2001, she had already broken up with the football player. She was involved in a long-distance relationship with a track star after Udonis’ former girlfriend cheated on him with another basketball player. He regarded her as exceptional due to the fact that she was humble and did not boast about herself. However, when she did discuss her history, he found it intimidating to listen to her.
Faith, on the other hand, was captivated by his free-flowing conversations, which not only highlighted his intelligence but also highlighted the significant differences between their childhoods.
At present, they are the parents of three sons as a couple. The family of five live in their residence in Southwest Ranches, Florida.

Josiah Haslem
His second child was with his now-wife. Josiah was born on the 8th day of January 2007, making him fifteen years old.
Elijah Haslem
Udonis and Faith’s youngest child was born on the 18th day of February 2011, making him eleven years old.
While the basketball player was in his final year at Florida and Faith was in her junior year, she became pregnant with his child. This occurred around the same time that he was well on his way to becoming an NBA prospect.
A lack of financial resources, as well as the couple’s and each of their individual career goals, put the couple in a position where they had to make a difficult but seemingly necessary decision. He already had a son with a high school girlfriend, so he was well aware of the challenges and potential setbacks a second child could present.
Nevertheless, money was the primary factor in this decision, and to put it another way, the timing was terrible. Abortion was a choice that the couple arrived at together while remaining supportive of one another.
