Hailey Van Lith had much to celebrate during the WNBA Draft, where she was not only the 11th player selected but also shared a memorable kiss with her NBA boyfriend, Jalen Suggs.
This heartfelt moment followed Van Lith’s selection by the Chicago Sky, which marked a significant reunion with her former LSU teammate, Angel Reese.
Dressed elegantly in a sleek black dress, Van Lith radiated joy as she embraced her parents before stepping onto the stage to meet with WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
After donning her new jersey, Van Lith made a beeline for Suggs, who was patiently waiting offstage to congratulate her with a kiss.
A spectator in the audience captured their tender moment, showcasing the affectionate embrace between the two.

Suggs, who was selected in the first round during his own NBA draft, openly expressed his pride in Van Lith’s achievement, delighted to witness her dreams manifesting.
He playfully cautioned WNBA players regarding her competitive spirit, particularly her knack for trash-talking.
“She talks trash to me,” Suggs remarked. “Whether we’re bowling or playing cards, she’s always got something to say!”
“I feel sorry for the girls who have to face her on the court,” he added.
After being romantically linked since 2021, Van Lith and Suggs have consistently supported one another throughout their respective sports journeys.
Currently sidelined due to knee surgery, Suggs has been a vocal supporter at Van Lith’s NCAA tournament games, cheering her on alongside her family.
With their mutual encouragement likely to continue as they step into professional ranks, it’s clear that both have a bright future ahead—congratulations to them!
