Former NBA player JJ Redick is making a new career move, this time from the basketball court to the sidelines as the new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Redick, who has transitioned into a successful podcaster and sports analyst since retiring from playing professionally, is set to take on this new role with the Lakers, much to the surprise of many basketball fans.
With this news, many are curious about Redick’s personal life, particularly his marriage to Chelsea Kilgore. The couple tied the knot in 2010 after meeting during Redick’s rookie year with the Orlando Magic in 2006. While Redick is often in the spotlight, Kilgore prefers to keep a low profile. She describes herself as a “Twin, Mommy, Pilates instructor, wifey” on her private Instagram profile.
In addition to being a supportive spouse, Kilgore is also involved in the JJ Redick Foundation, which aims to encourage children to pursue their passion for sports. The foundation was launched just a year after their wedding, highlighting the couple’s commitment to giving back to the community.
Redick and Kilgore have built a beautiful family together, welcoming two sons, Knox and Kai, since their marriage. The family of four resides in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, where they enjoy their time together in their European-inspired duplex.
Redick’s basketball career spanned 15 seasons with six different teams, including the Orlando Magic, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, New Orleans Pelicans, and Dallas Mavericks. After hanging up his jersey in 2021, he has continued to stay connected to the sport through his podcast and now coaching position with the Lakers.
